No big stablecoin tech news today. Good. Boring means the tech is maturing. Stable infrastructure is what actually matters for global payments.

Today's quiet on stablecoin tech news?. It's not a lull. It's the calm before the next storm of real-world adoption. Payments are about to get wild.

It's wild how much startups lose on global payroll. We're talking 3-5% in FX fees alone with traditional banks. For a $500k international payroll, that's $25k gone. Just like that. There's gotta be a better way to move money across borders.

HKMA's new stablecoin rules are live today. Full reserve backing and monthly audits are now law. Everyone talks about trust, but this is a massive barrier for smaller stablecoin innovators. Hard to build new payment rails when only the giants can play.

RT @hugfink: All time high revenue and payment activity in July 😤💥. The secret sauce? The entire @rise_pay team relentlessly pushing every….

HK stablecoin rules are out. But licenses? Not until 2026. Huge speed bump for their crypto hub dreams, idk.

If you're wondering why everyone cares about stablecoins now. Tether made $4.9B profit in Q2 👀

PayPal just opened up USDC payments to merchants. This isn't just a crypto thing. It's stablecoins becoming the real backbone of everyday payments. Old money better pay attention.

Circle pays Coinbase more than they pay themselves. Coinbase earned $300M from Circle in Q1 2025, while Circle only made $230M total. Circle pays over $1B in costs, but Coinbase walks away richer. Here’s what happened:. • In Q1 2025, Coinbase pulled in $300M from its USDC.

Visa processing $200M in stablecoin settlements proves one thing. The infrastructure for mainstream crypto payments is already here. Now we just need regulators to catch up.

Visa exploring stablecoins for global payments in emerging markets. This is how payroll gets instant, everywhere. Banks are still stuck in the 90s.

Tether's US stablecoin just dropped. This is a direct challenge to USDC's reign in the US. Payroll and payments just got way more competitive.

What a year this will be.

Still doing global payroll the old way? You're not just losing 3-5% in fees on every transfer. You're also actively turning away top talent who prefer crypto payments. That's a double hit no startup can afford.

Hong Kong's Aug 1 stablecoin regs are already driving massive investment. OSL just raised $300M for stablecoin infra. This is how regulated stablecoins become truly usable for global payments, not just trading. Big for payroll.

US House just passed the GENIUS Act for stablecoins. This is huge for legit adoption, but idk if monthly disclosures are enough to truly manage market volatility risks. We need more than just transparency.

Western Union adding stablecoin on-ramps is the real bridge. This isn't just crypto playing in TradFi's sandbox. It's stablecoins becoming the global payment layer for everyone, finally.

If you want the best crypto-native talent,.you need to pay them in their native currency. USDC. SOL. BTC. ETH. Daily. Weekly. Monthly. Instantly. This is exactly what we enable at @rise_pay

Pitch decks are out. Prototypes are the new handshake.
