🇺🇸 @MiebachMichael/@Mastercard, @Brian_Armstrong/@Coinbase, @BHorowitz/@a16z, @PaoloArdoino/@Tether_to, @DavidLRipley/@KrakenFX, @Tyler & @Cameron/@Gemini, @jerallaire/@Circle, and @vladtenev/@RobinhoodApp all agree: Trump signing the GENIUS Act is huge for crypto and finance.

In 10 years, when they ask ‘Where were you during the financial revolution?’ What will you say?

Blockchain technologies will power the next generation of payments, and the U.S. dollar is coming onchain. Thanks to President Trump’s visionary leadership, and @SenatorHagerty's important work in Congress, the GENIUS Act will help cement the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency for generations to come.

The House just made history by passing major legislation on stablecoins (GENIUS Act) and market structure (CLARITY Act) in an overwhelmingly bipartisan way. This is a huge moment for crypto and for all Americans. We’re very close to having comprehensive, proactive rules in place for the first time. Next up: the GENIUS Act goes to the President’s desk for his signature. After that, the Senate should pass the CLARITY Act. We believe passing these laws is the best way to ensure that America remains the world leader in the next era of the internet. Thank you to all the cosponsors of these bills and the incredible supporters on both sides of the aisle in Congress.

X Space: @OKX x GDN OKX has joined Global Dollar Network, bringing USDG to their 60M customers across 180 countries. This Friday, join executives from both teams for a live discussion on the future of stablecoins. 🔔 Set reminder:

I’m honestly delighted when I see this in developer docs. In this LLM assisted world it’s the baseline for best in class. Even better: help me copy entire sections or introduce a “chat with docs” feature.

Grateful for our readers and the amazing @twifintech team that helped us get here 🙏 We'll continue to work to earn your readership! --- Thank you to @dsem221, @analisa_ruff, @carinaoriel, @chuk_xyz, @jrossvazquez, @kay20miles, @MJenkins88, @MHirschorn35672, @os7borne, @RyanZauk, @itssophievo, @CallMeGillette, @ToriKeeshin, @Jillwillnyc, @AmberGlaab, @caaelum, @Positivenga1, @buzon_lorena, @wizaj, Ning, Ruthika, Adrielle, Julie, Maria, Elena, Daniela, Ramon, and too many others.

Fintech chains are the new App Store @RobinhoodApp is joining @coinbase , @krakenfx , and @okx in launching its own blockchain. @stripe may be next. But they’re not chasing decentralization — they’re building platforms. Just like @Apple launched the iPhone and developers built the App Store, these fintechs are bringing users on-chain and letting others build for them. By launching their own chain — instead of relying on general-purpose ones like Solana or Arbitrum — they aim to capture more of the value created by their user base. Robinhood doesn’t need to build stock-backed lending. @MorphoLabs could build it directly on their chain — just like it powers $400M in BTC-backed loans on @base . Robinhood integrates it, controls the UX, and captures the margin. They don’t need to list every token either. By integrating a DEX, they can give users access to thousands of assets instantly — no listing committee required. Thanks to rollup-as-a-service platforms like @gelatonetwork and @conduitxyz , launching an L2 on @Optimism or @arbitrum is now trivial. Infrastructure is outsourced, scalable, and composable — no need for 20 protocol engineers. This isn’t just about cutting costs. It’s a growth engine: → New services → New revenue streams → Minimal lift If you're a fintech with distribution, why rent blockspace when you can own the rails?

Everyone starts at the top Only those with distribution make it to the bottom
