Companies are increasingly building on stablecoins rather than traditional APIs and SDKs. This move offers not only economic benefits but also unparalleled extensibility. Traditional rails force you to work around the bank's limitations. Stablecoin infrastructure lets you build whatever your business actually needs. As stablecoins become platforms, they empower businesses to innovate and form partnerships. 💭 We expect to see chains, protocols, and wallets issuing their own stablecoins, leading to a dynamic ecosystem that encourages collaboration and growth.

Global enterprises are haemorrhaging millions annually from payment fragmentation. It’s not just from wire fees, but also from the operational overhead of managing dozens of disconnected banking relationships. Our latest blog post explores how payment fragmentation creates hidden operational drag and what unified treasury infrastructure enables. We break down the three layers of fragmentation cost (settlement delays, manual reconciliation, compliance multiplication), quantify the real productivity drain on enterprise finance teams, and map out the three-phase approach to treasury consolidation that transforms operations from bottleneck to competitive advantage!

For a long time, enterprises have treated custody like insurance: find someone compliant, check the box, move on. Six months later, they discover their custody choice blocks the features customers want. Instant settlements, DeFi integrations, and multi-entity treasury flows all depend on architecture decisions made upfront. Our latest blog post explores what enterprises should know about custody, treating it as both compliance and infrastructure. We break down the three custody models (omnibus, segregated, hybrid), the five components of institutional-grade custody, and how to evaluate custody models for your roadmap.
