@zcabrams Congrats Zach!!!

Bridge is joining forces with Stripe! I’m incredibly excited We started 2.5 years ago and we’ve done a lot since then :) We’re going to do a whole lot more in the years ahead. This is an important milestone, but we’re still at the very beginning of the Bridge journey. We started Bridge because we thought stablecoins could become a core, global, regulated payment platform. Our first year was hard. The digital asset space was in turmoil. We struggled to find partners / customers. We launched with our APIs in March 2023. After launch, we quickly saw inbound interest from cross-border payments companies. People talked about stablecoins for x-border money movement, but we didn't understand the space or need. These developers onboarded, showed us what was possible, and Bridge quickly started to scale. After that, we had government entities onboard with us to disburse aid, fintechs build US dollar-based savings and spending products, SpaceX to manage their global treasury, and many others. Our belief that stablecoins could be a new payment platform started coming true. Developers worldwide were dreaming up new stablecoin-enabled financial products and coming to Bridge to bring them to life. And each new use case was larger than all of those that came before it. Today, we’re moving many billions in payment volume. Our business has grown >10x this yr. But more importantly, we’re now helping 100s of developers all around the world. And their products are giving millions of consumers and businesses more economic choice. A lot has changed (and improved) over the past 18 months. But we’re still incredibly early. Stablecoins represent an entirely new payments platform. Realizing the potential of this platform will be a decades-long journey. As we’ve gotten to know the Stripe team, it’s become clear that we both share a vision for what’s possible with stablecoins and an excitement around the opportunity to create and build this future Stripe operates globally and understands better than almost anyone the problems created by our existing localized payment systems. Our teams share an excitement about stablecoins and vision for how to maximize their impact. Together, we’ll be able to solve bigger problems, support more developers, and help more consumers and businesses all across the world. We built Bridge to solve our most vexing global financial challenges; to pull a more connected world forward; to give everyone more economic choice. We’re thrilled to be joining forces with Stripe to fully realize these ambitions. Full blog post here --> x.com/Stablecoin/sta…

@argyris Miss you already AZ!!

After 19 years in the Bay Area it’s time to say goodbye! Thank you for everything San Francisco. I’ll miss this place. Next up: moving back to my home city of Athens, Greece

We’re excited to announce that Rooms.xyz is launching today in BETA – no more waitlist!

3/ I think it's important to reinforce what differentiates Coinbase in a moment like this. This event appears to be the result of risky business practices, including conflicts of interest between deeply intertwined entities, and mis-use of customer funds (lending user assets).

@taneyhill @tiktok_us Yaaaaas! Get it @taneyhill ❤️❤️❤️

Exciting news: This week, I joined @tiktok_us as Global Head of Marketing. There is no more innovative, culturally resonant and engaging community than TikTok & I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to help tell their stories.

Just wow 😳

You can never ban abortion, you can only ban safe abortions. Read that again.

Breaking: The US Supreme Court strikes down abortion rights for women. America used to be 12 hours behind Asia, now it’s 12 centuries behind.

😭🎉❤️ #GoldenStateWarriors

Manual workflows are the bain of every CX teams existence. @twitter and @coinbase we had workflows with 50+ steps to follow. Automation without eng support is a game changer. @kesava_kirupa and team have built something impactful and I’m excited to invest.

Congrats to the 6% of republicans in San Francisco who were somehow able to get 65%+ of the vote in order to oust @chesaboudin! 🤷‍♂️ I guess the GOP is rigging the election Chesa!??

@agarwal ❤️❤️❤️

The voters have spoken AGAIN. We demand COMPETENCE in San Francisco. We will build a city that works for everyone. ❤️ 🌉

So happy I could 😭😭😭😭

Last ditch effort by our pathetic DA. Vote Yes on H! @recallchesa @BrookeJenkinsSF

Nearly 500 fentanyl overdose deaths in SF in 2021 -- more deaths than from Covid -- and not a single prosecution. This is criminal justice malpractice. What about the rights of the victims of these dealers? They deserve to have their killers arrested, charged, and convicted.

Adios @chesaboudin. Hope to see you never! Props to @GrowSF for a great voter guide 🙏🏽
