✨ Another #AMINAFirst — but this one is about more than being first. By launching Polygon Labs' native token POL staking for institutions and individuals, we’re setting a new standard for how staking should work: regulated custody, credible infrastructure, and enhanced yields for clients who want to participate in the most active ecosystems of Web3. With over 3.8M daily transactions and $2.45B market cap (+50% QoQ), Polygon is proving that adoption is scaling fast. And with AMINA Bank's limited-time boosted rewards offer, staking is evolving into a truly institutional-grade product.

At Animoca Brands we just published one of the most comprehensive report on "Adoption Opportunities of Stablecoin" - Key takeaways: 🏦 Recent legislation in major economies has accelerated stablecoin adoption, shifting the use from crypto trading and informal economies to regulated financial systems. We identify two key opportunities: "open-source digital wallets" for payments, and "open clearing houses" for settlements. 💵 #Stablecoin digital wallet solutions are easier to build than Web2 wallet companies. By using existing blockchain tech, token standards, and crypto wallets, focusing on stablecoin minting. Retailers, e-commerce, and social networks can promote stablecoins, which could drive digital payment adoption and form "open-source digital wallets." 💳 In credit card-dominated economies, stablecoins could boost digital wallet adoption, capturing market share and impacting card issuers' transaction fee revenues. However, card networks like Visa and processors like Stripe may benefit from handling diverse "currencies," expanding their payment ecosystem role. 🌍 Stablecoins enable "open clearing houses" for money transfers, with on/off ramps and on-chain transfers mimicking traditional bank settlements. This could improve domestic transfer efficiency and address #crossborder transfer inefficiencies caused by the lack of global clearing houses. 💰 Money transfer operators achieve cross-border efficiency using central ledgers and in-country liquidity pools, acting as clearing houses. However, banks adopting stablecoin-based clearing systems may challenge this model. #CEX often operates similarly, relying on non-blockchain methods, so their role in stablecoin adoption may be limited. #AnimocaBrands #Animoca #Web3 #DigitalAssets #DigitalWallet Leave a comment below and I will share with you our deep dive report! Stay tuned for part 2!

💥 Mastercard and Binance partner to enable direct EUR offramp to MasterCard 👇 Binance’s European users can now instantly convert crypto to euros and withdraw directly to an eligible Mastercard, with near-real-time availability. The new “Buy & Sell” feature is powered by Mastercard Move, the card network’s global money-movement platform. Source: https://lnkd.in/gPnuSXmn ➡️ Why this matters While stablecoin startups are grinding to stitch together hard-to-scale flows in exotic FX corridors, the on- and off-ramp business is booming for large-scale payment players and card networks with global reach, licenses, and infrastructure. Binance is the undisputed giant of crypto trading, holding ~30% of the $30 trillion/year global spot & derivatives market. See here (https://lnkd.in/eV5jPBAM) Being able to capture a part of Binance's offramp volume is likely to be far more revenue meaningful than piecing together hard to scale stablecoin transfer flows in Global South. It will be interesting to see if Binance also does the same with Visa Direct, Visa's own push-payment infrastructure. Capturing a slice of Binance’s off-ramp volume in an important market like the EU could be far more revenue-impactful than chasing fragmented, low-scale stablecoin remittance flows in the Global South. One to watch: Will Binance also integrate Visa Direct, Visa’s competing push-payment rail? ✅Want to learn more about the business of digital money and tokenization.

🚨 Exclusive: Rapyd launches Stablecoin Payment Solutions 🚨 Rapyd has officially entered the stablecoin space, unveiling its Stablecoin Payment Solutions for cross-border B2B payments. This makes Rapyd one of a growing number of global providers to formally launch stablecoin services, underlining just how quickly this segment of the market is accelerating. I sat down with Rapyd CEO Arik Shtilman for an exclusive interview to dig into why now and what next. Arik shared how stablecoins fit into Rapyd’s global strategy, the specific use cases they’re targeting and how they’re already contributing to the company’s bottom line. With a expected $100bn of processed volume and over $1bn of revenue this year, Rapyd's stablecoin play is especially meaningful for the sector and the merchant space. Plenty of new numbers and insights in our discussion.

"Every £1000 of Bitcoin you don't buy today will cost you £190,000 by 2046." Back in June, I had the pleasure of attending BTC Prague and one of the highlights of the event was Michael Saylor's keynote speech. His prediction for Bitcoin's price in 2046: "Bitcoin will grow by 21%, for the next 21 years, to $21,000,000 a coin" Over the past 3 years Bitcoin's CAGR has been 75%. For the past 7 years it's been 50% CAGR. In the last 12 months alone, Bitcoins price has grown by almost 95%! I have to admit, I felt it was quite a bearish prediction at the time, but ultimately the larger the asset grows, the more capital is needed for it to compound at the higher percentage. Anyway, I digress. Lets go with 21%....... $21m is £16m in today's FX conversion Not many people understand the power of compounding. I didn't in my 20's. But there's a reason why Albert Einstein said that compound interest is the 8th wonder of the world. If Bitcoin's price compounds in a modest way that Michael Saylor predicts, every £1000 of Bitcoin bought today, will be worth £190k in 21 years time. Think about that. We are living in a paradigm shift where a new monetary system is being formed. Most people don't see it and those that see it think that we'll somehow fix the current system. They are wrong. There will only be one winner and the foundations have already being laid. It wont be Fiat Currencies It wont be Stablecoins It wont be Ethereum It wont be Gold The winner will be Bitcoin. So with that in mind: That £5,000 holiday you were planning to book is now worth close to £1m. That £200 pair of trainers you didn't need just become a £38k pair. That £30 takeaway at 1am after a night out has effectively cost you £5,700. The world is a tough place for the normal person to succeed financially. The middle class is disappearing and we're seeing a 2-tier system. The current system is designed to keep us poor. Opt out of the nonsense. Stack sats & safeguard your financial future.
