Stripe Is Buying Bridge To Go After The Stablecoin Opportunity Stripe has acquired stablecoin company Bridge for $1.1B USD. Bridge Network has built technology that makes it seamless for developers to launch and issue their own stablecoins globally. Through Bridge Network’s software platform, companies are also able to rapidly integrate stablecoins to be used as payments and to begin accepting established stablecoins such as USDC or USDT for transactions. What's happening, the big idea, and more: https://lnkd.in/e38W2z8A Featured | cc: Zach Abrams, Sean Yu, Colin Mason, Josephine Chen, Bob van Winden, Yelena Reznikova, Dan Fan, Ben O'Neill, Allen Montenegro, Christian Heidelberger, Eric Weingarten, John Collison, Patrick Collison, William Gaybrick #stablecoin #crypto #fintech

Excellent article on Stablecoins. "The economics of stablecoins will favor entities with either a complementary business model, as described above, or those that control the interface between stablecoins and the assets backing them—be it bank deposits, U.S. treasuries, or money market funds." In the case of Ceres it has both a complementary business model and interface between its stablecoin and the assets backing it. Galaxy Jeremy Jonker Jeremy Allaire Paolo A. Jesse Spiro Mike Cagney Jeff Kleinops
Why Everyone’s Wrong About Stablecoins— Stripe’s recent acquisition of stablecoin orchestration startup Bridge sent shockwaves through the crypto world. For the first time, a major payments company committed over a billion dollars to accelerate its use of this technology. What most miss: Bridge might be worth $1.1 billion to Stripe, but on its own, it likely wouldn’t have hit that mark. This isn’t due to any lack of talent—Zach Abrams and his team assembled a top group of engineers—but rather because making money with stablecoins is extremely challenging. But how can that be? After all, Circle and Tether have been raking in substantial profits following the interest rate hikes of the last two years. Full article in the comments!

📖 Weekend Reading 📖 1️⃣ Christian Catalini writes the bear case for stablecoins (at least as we understand them) in Forbes, an article that comes at the perfect time given the ramp up in enthusiasm since Stripe’s acquisition of Bridge. Two interesting points: 1) Stablecoin companies (not just issuers) need complementary business models as they won’t be able to rely on interest revenue indefinitely and on/off-ramp fees are a race to the bottom. 2) The export of dollarization via stablecoins will not go unchecked indefinitely: “Countries that value monetary policy independence, fear capital flight in a crisis, and worry about destabilizing their domestic banks will strongly oppose the large-scale adoption of frictionless USD stablecoin accounts.“ https://lnkd.in/dsa2xm2f 2️⃣ Alex Johnson has a great piece on the tensions inherent in bank-fintech partnerships, which he frames as a clash of deterministic vs. probabilistic systems. “The baseline for a software business is deterministic. However, the upside for a software business often lies in its ability to generate probabilistic outcomes… On the other hand, while the baseline for a bank is probabilistic, the upside lies in its ability to generate more deterministic outcomes.” https://lnkd.in/dTVEbiAQ 3️⃣ Brian Potter (in Construction Physics) highlights how China today is like the 19th century US. Brian presents a bunch of data from the US in the period between 1870 and 1920, which roughly mirrors many of the same economic and cultural developments that have taken place in China over the last 50 years. There are of course massive differences, for example how China went from a planned economy to a much more open one, while the US went from a Wild West governed by a weak state towards a more centralized country. But it’s precisely these differences that make the parallels so interesting. h/t to Byrne Hobart, CFA for always digging up excellent blogs! https://lnkd.in/dRe9j9su #stablecoins #stripe #bridge #crypto #circle #tether #usdc #usdt #bitcoin #fintech #payments #evolve #apple #china

This is the way. Transactions will take 1 second, 1 cent 💫 Payments should be instant, cheap, and available worldwide. To achieve this, blockchain needs to be the default choice for value transfer.
