Having spent a great deal of time working with stablecoin issuers and crypto payments teams at both @OffchainLabs / @arbitrum and @StablecoinStnd , I’ve come to realise that stablecoins and payments are two sides of the same coin — neither can scale without the other. Inspired

All the great things you love about @arbitrum + ZK . For the longest time we had to justify why Arbitrum wasn’t named after a particular proving mechanism . Our response was: we’ll adopt the best stack for users and builders.

We're bringing ZK to the Arbitrum ecosystem with @SuccinctLabs. Today we're unveiling Tandem's partnership with Succinct, enabling faster capital movement and simpler integration for developers through the power of modular ZK provers. 🧵.

🚨 For folks looking to farm stable/RWA backed yields. Imo, one of the best ways to get exposure to different rewards across these DeFi protocols while benefiting the institutional RWA wave that is upon us is through @nashpointfi DeFi / RWA vault. @Dolomite_io.@0xfluid

The best stablecoin hire for any company looking to get into the space are from folks that were building stablecoins pre-2022. Rates were less than 2% . They had to solve the cold start problem and there were limited commercial opportunities for yield share.

It’s funny how you almost never hear a non-web3 company talk about the importance of building for the long term . That’s the default for them . Yet in crypto we need to be convinced that teams are in it for the long term.

DBS, one of Asia’s largest banks, has launched tokenized structured notes on Ethereum. Not just to jump on the tokenization trend, but to meaningfully reduce the minimum investment size from $100K to just $1K. The fractionalization prophecy is starting to play out in real time.

We might have seen many zombie startups in the on/off ramp space if Circle didn’t IPO. Instead they are the hottest property for a VC at the moment . Straightforward bet for a fund that wants exposure to crypto + payments.

Been looking at the mechanics behind some of these more experimental / exotic yield bearing stablecoin. The playbook for 0 to 1 has been largely defined: .> use points/tokens to bootstrap growth.> KOLs to raise awareness .> institutional funds as LPs .> grow to <$1bn in TVL.

Stablecoin issuance is a "leaky" business. Before rates were attractive for stablecoin issuance, most stablecoin issuer capture a very small % of the overall the value they create. Value is skewed towards the chains, DeFi, payment teams. All while the issuer has to maintain
