Because crypto gives them what legacy rails can’t: instant reach and global liquidity.
Why are fintechs integrating crypto? They may want to: 1. Launch in new markets. 2. Support international payments. 3. Hold deposits. 4. Accept alternative payment methods. 5. Bootstrap liquidity.

I'm also fired up to see that Seismic isn’t building just a niche product, it's taking a real swing at global finance
A canon mental arc every stablecoin builder goes through: 1. Holy moly @Wise, @Revolut, @airwallex are already accessible / fast / cheap 2. Damn are stablecoins even useful? Heavy disillusionment 3. Hmm actually, we can offer the same core product in the few regions these

Fintech interest in crypto is surging, driven by cheaper FX for long-tail currencies, USD offerings in emerging markets, and access to open lending pools. Yet one of the biggest remaining challenges is that blockchains are public. It's an issue for fintechs seeking to protect

Seismic Reth is up on Ethereum mainnet (synced via checkpoint). Just a demo while waiting for @SeismicSys testnet — coming soon 🙌
Time for devs to spin up Reth 👀 Seismic blockchain runs on two clients: - Execution client – Reth - Consensus client – e.g. Lighthouse You can run Reth in three ways right now: 1️⃣ with Lighthouse 2️⃣ using Etherscan as a block source 3️⃣ without a consensus layer (manual tip

Sure, people want self-custody — not another SWIFT 2.0.
The bear case for privacy is if crypto only amounts to a glorified SWIFT replacement In that world, only on-/off-ramps transact onchain. People wouldn't need privacy because they wouldn't have their own wallets But that's clearly not where we're headed. People WANT to have

On top of that, fintech company (@circle today) announced the launch of a testnet for its L1 stablecoin protocol @arc Seeing @SeismicSys keep building makes me believe this isn’t just arbitrage. Trust Lyron ✊
The "stablecoins are just regulatory arbitrage" take is falling apart fast - Regulated institutions (@Zelle / @WesternUnion / @Citi yesterday) are legitimizing digital asset rails - Blockchain intelligence firms (@CipherOwl last week) are showing the benefits of a unified

Upgrading NEAR Tokenomics! Halving Impact: Inflation will be reduced from 5% to 2.5%, staking rewards will adjust to ≈4.75% assuming 50% of total supply remains staked. Once inflation reduction takes effect, validator rewards will decrease by roughly 50%. To support this, two

Full trust in Lyron & team - private stablecoins aren’t easy to regulate ⚖️✊
What you need for private stablecoins (the tech is only part of the story) - ERC20 version that shields balances, transfer amounts, and (optionally) wallet addresses - FX trading venue with private swaps - Blockchain intelligence provider with separate public / private tx

Little guys can tap into global liquidity on day 1
Chains having no moat (outside of social layer) does wonders for healthy competition We're building an L1, and we have day 1 access to all of Base and Solana liquidity / integrations via bridging Crypto is for the little guys

@lyronctk pointed out the big gap in stablecoin products just a few months ago. While unicorns like @tempo, @stable, and @arc still building, @SeismicSys has already encrypted native stablecoin logic on-chain. Waitlist’s open.
Have you ever tried using stablecoins to pay for expenses like rent, phone bills, or student loans? You can't. Your stablecoins today don't interface well with legacy systems. So we got to work. Introducing Brookwell (@brookwellapp):

Fintechs operate in an environment where regulators are tightening data protection requirements (GDPR in the EU, DORA from 2025, etc). Companies need to quickly adapt and build practical tools that both safeguard data and stay compatible with banking infrastructure, without
We spent the last 3mo in deep partnership with fintechs, and figured out what actually moves the needle for them: 1. Usable privacy (no surprise!). 2. Robust compliance integration. 3. Comprehensive on-/off-ramp support. We're committed to being best-in-class on all three.
