Stablecard is going live in 37 markets, with Western Union targeting 60+ by the end of the year.
Customers can receive and spend their funds in USDPT – Western Union's native stablecoin issued by @Anchorage on @Solana.
All managed through the Stablecard mobile app.

Here’s my hunch: truly exceptional writing is about to look more like craft beer, handmade surfboards, or custom furniture—still around, still loved, but no longer the default.
You can buy handmade shoes. You can get a wetsuit tailored to your exact measurements. You can find a board shaped just for how you like to surf a particular break.
None of that is necessary. And that’s the point.

It’s happening. What an excellent preview by @SECGov of how tokenized equities can be issued for onchain trading. You are going to see these products in market with the support of a regulator that understands the importance of these innovations to US competitiveness. 1/2

Politicians often push Ayurveda for votes, like in India where the Modi government pumps $500M yearly into alternative medicine, despite shaky evidence. Patanjali, tied to the PM, got banned from ads in 2024 for false claims—yet they keep promoting it to sway Hindu nationalists. It’s a classic populist move.

Mint it, Print it, Sell it Fuck it. That is the mantra for the world you are suggesting.
This is the biggest bunch of self serving Bullshit I have ever heard. In your world there is no ownership. Just speculation.
Hello every scam targeted at everyone and anyone who has no clue about crypto
Good bye whatever hope the crypto industry had of legitimizing itself
@garygensler has got to be laughing his ass off.
And the new head of the SEC has got to be pissed. If he believes this nonsense he has no ability to enforce any SEC law. Stock, token. Bond. Nothing
Rather than modifying the IPO process to accept crypto and give investors some understanding of what they are buying .
Any registration requirements just flew out the window.
I’ll say it again.
Mint it, print it, sell it Fuck it. That is the mantra for the world you are suggesting.
The market is losing its mind over the $TRUMP coin, and completely missing the plot. Here’s why this is going to be incredibly long-term bullish for the industry (and it has nothing to do with TRUMP coin itself).

Clarity of mind is part of the reason Sam Konstas stands on the precipice of debuting for Australia at 19.
Part of it comes from his relationship with his idol and mentor Shane Watson. The entire Watson family is set to fly down to Melbourne should he make his debut.

Kevin raises an interesting point about how tariffs can be used to protect American intellectual property. Let's run through how this would work in the clothing industry. 🧵
I love the academic study but I’m doing REAL business in China. I’m not here to play games or talk theories. I’ve been in the trenches, and I see what’s happening. Chinese companies are STEALING our IP, making the same products with my molds, and selling them under different brands. Enough is enough. We need to raise tariffs, not just to 10% or 25%, but 400%. I can GUARANTEE the supreme leader would come to the table if we did this.
Weak leadership is hurting American businesses, and it’s time to do something about it. STOP the excuses and let’s get serious about protecting U.S. companies.

Multiple things can be true at once:
Biological sex matters immensely in sport AND the rights of transgender people matter.
The war in Gaza is horrific AND as long as Hamas is in power there will never be peace AND as long as Netanahyu is in power there will never be peace AND Hamas started this war and is losing it badly AND the Palestinian people have lived in terrible conditions for decades AND it certainly seems the only viable way forward is a peace process with new leadership.
The problem in these conversations is that so many people plant themselves in an extreme camp and in doing so they lose touch with some pretty basic assertions about reality.
Please: do what you can to be a voice for sanity and reason and if you speak up, do so in good faith and kindly.
