Hanging out today at @Visa Payments in Motion event in Shanghai.
Kudos to @Visa for the incredibly creative activation at Shanghai Fashion Week, hope I managed to blend in with the very well dressed crowd 👕 👗
I had a meaningful time digesting the insights shared around in China.
China’s payments ecosystem can no longer be described as just advanced - it’s now a post-card, post-bank world where trust, identity and commerce are now rolled into a single experience.
I’m also looking forward to the future developments around the digital yuan and tokenized deposits, and their impact on the payments ecosystem.

Its a big week ahead for @HyperliquidX 🌊
My take on the $HYPE is that with USDH bids closing, the winning proposal will indeed shape how stablecoins scale across the ecosystem.
I’m excited to see which team takes it forward. Will it be @Paxos @fraxfinance @Agora or others?
However, I’m more bullish about the future of native $USDC @circle, which is already driving adoption across chains, where $USDH now has the chance to make Hyperliquid the home for next-gen stablecoin liquidity.

1/ Ray Dalio recently said that crypto has become a real alternative currency because of its limited supply—and that its appeal grows when the dollar weakens through oversupply or falling demand.
He also noted that the risk with #stablecoins isn’t in their design, but in the U.S. Treasuries backing them—assets whose purchasing power can erode.

3/ I’m seeing two types of financial infrastructure develop:
Centralised rails: dollar-based, bank-led, regulated, and widely trusted. The backbone of global commerce.
Decentralised rails: crypto and stablecoin-based. Fast and borderless, but adoption is still uneven and regulatory clarity is growing, but with some way to go.

4/ I think alot about the bridge between these infrastructures - businesses shouldn’t have to choose either or, but be able to move seamlessly across both rails depending on their needs.
Dalio’s points highlight the macro forces shaping this shift. I sense the question for the next few years isn’t which rail will win, but how companies can navigate both safely and efficiently.

The right mix of regulatory shifts, technological innovation, and changing user preferences - could reconfigure the market.
However, any realignment would need to overcome the massive network, liquidity, and trust moats they have built.

As we build @reapglobal , I continue to think a lot about this intersection of digital value, trust, and utility.
Stablecoins are already transforming how money moves - and the infrastructure we build today will shape how inclusive and efficient this future becomes.

It’s no surprise that Latam is becoming one of the top adopters of stablecoins.
Pain points couldn’t be clearer and demand is high.
But demand alone isn’t enough to drive adoption.
You need the right supply: the right infrastructure players working together to bring the use case to life.

This list is representative of an excellent ecosystem of teams working towards making money movement more efficient, and giving Latam its due place in the global economy.
Grateful to be able to do that with @reapglobal

The LatAm Stablecoin Payments Landscape ⬇️
Here are the wallets, stablecoins, exchanges, on/off ramps, and infra players building across LATAM.
----
Latin America is emerging as a global leader in stablecoin adoption, with the highest % of stablecoin volume to GDP of any 025).
What began as a hedge against inflation has evolved into real financial infrastructure. Stablecoins now power everything from remittances and dollar accounts to remote worker payouts and B2B transactions.
To help make sense of this fast-evolving space, we mapped the wallets, stablecoins, exchanges, on/off ramps, and infra players building across LATAM.
Why?
Because behind every headline is a network of teams doing the hard work — and this map helps surface new partners, vendors, and opportunities.
This is just v1. A deeper country-by-country analysis and v2 of the map are on the way.

🗒️ If we missed a company, let us know in the comments.
You’ll also find a link to the full spreadsheet version there.
Special thanks to @jrossvazquez at @utila_io, who was instrumental in driving this initiative from day one, and the broader @utila_io team (@bentzzi, Josh, Ron, Surya), along with @Bitso (@reidbenj, Ingrid), @minteocom (@Will_Dre_Duran, Sarah), and @blindpay (@bebedaselva) for their support and collaboration.

Stablecoin-enabled financial services won’t fix everything. But they offer an alternative to the existing legacy financial system, unblocking cross-border money movement regardless of where you’re building your business from.

@reapglobal ‘s building for a future to level this playing field, so that every business has the same access to financial services globally - from a founder in Lagos to one in London.
