zerohash

New: Interactive Brokers has just launched instant account funding via stablecoins, powered by zerohash, making global funding faster, cheaper, and frictionless. With this update: ✓ Funds settle instantly, giving traders immediate buying power ✓ Cross-border money moves seamlessly with reduced FX friction ✓ Traders and brokerages see lower payment processing costs vs. cards & wires Stablecoin settlement: from alternative rail → foundational layer in the global financial stack.

During the Rosenblatt Securities FinTech Summit, zerohash Founder & CEO Edward Woodford explained why stablecoins have become one of the most important innovations in modern payments infrastructure. 1️⃣ Stablecoins now reach mainstream users, oftentimes behind the scenes. If someone has PayPal, Cash App, or a brokerage app, they're already touching stablecoins whether they realize it or not. This embedded distribution is what accelerates adoption. 2️⃣ But mainstream scale requires two major unlocks: (1) Interoperability — ensuring stablecoins work seamlessly across issuers, chains, and banks; and (2) Usability — eliminating addresses, chain-selection, and other points of friction. These principles are driving zerohash's newest product layer: authenticated onchain transfers and abstracted stablecoin flows. 3️⃣ Tokenization will sit on top of these rails. As more institutions use stablecoins for payments and settlement, the infrastructure naturally extends into tokenized assets, giving firms a single operating fabric for trading, payouts, and asset creation. We're entering a phase where payments, trading, and tokenization are no longer separate categories. They're one ecosystem. Read the full session recap below:

Coinbase Co-Founder and CEO Brian Armstrong just said something at DealBook Summit that we've been saying for months: banks are no longer debating whether to adopt digital assets. They're actively figuring out HOW. We're seeing the same momentum across our own pipeline. As Edward Woodford mentioned on Bloomberg Markets, we believe every major bank will be building in this space in the next 12 months. Not as an experiment, but as a strategic priority. For zerohash, the shift is already showing up in real work. We're powering pilots and production launches across stable-value payments, crypto access, tokenization, and onchain settlement—the foundational rails banks need as they modernize their infrastructure. It all adds up to a simple reality: digital asset builds are happening now, and banks need partners who can help them ship fast and stay compliant. We've been building for 8 years toward this very moment.

One of the most important takeaways from Morgan Stanley's Christopher Larkin at zerohash's Onchain Brokerage Summit: "It always starts with the client." Clients want access to crypto, but only through trusted, regulated channels. That's why the conversation has shifted from IF to HOW: ✓ How to do this safely ✓ How to do this compliantly ✓ How to do this with the same rigor as any other asset class This is exactly where regulated digital-asset infrastructure becomes essential.

Stablecoins: from niche crypto concept → a core part of modern financial infrastructure. In a new fireside chat, our Founder & CEO Edward Woodford joins Plasma CEO Paul F. to discuss what's driving this shift and where adoption is heading next. Watch the interview: https://lnkd.in/eEqPxj9W STABLECOINS HIT REAL ECONOMIC SCALE: They went from almost irrelevant before 2020 to a multibillion-dollar category moving trillions in payments. The network effects are here. ACCESS IS THE ACCELERATOR: Millions of people can now access stablecoins through products they already use. That reach brings dollar-denominated tools to the markets that need them most. UTILITY IS OUTPACING SPECULATION: Funding brokerage accounts, cross-border payouts, merchant settlement, remittances. Stablecoins increasingly function like global USD accounts, especially in unstable currency environments. USABILITY IS THE NEXT UNLOCK: Demand has outpaced infrastructure. People still rely on fragmented on/off-ramps and uneven wallets. A smoother experience is what takes stablecoins from useful to universal. INTEROPERABILITY WINS: We're not heading toward a single "winner" chain. We're heading toward many chains, stitched together by infrastructure that keeps the complexity out of the user experience. Stablecoins are becoming the rails for global money movement, and zerohash and Plasma are working together to make them usable, compliant, and accessible at scale.
