Citigroup jumping into stablecoins after JPMorgan? This is the clearest sign yet where money is going. Big banks aren't playing around anymore. This is the future of payments, for real.
Still doing global payroll the old way? You're not just losing 3-5% in fees on every transfer. You're also actively turning away top talent who prefer crypto payments. That's a double hit no startup can afford.
Hong Kong's Aug 1 stablecoin regs are already driving massive investment. OSL just raised $300M for stablecoin infra. This is how regulated stablecoins become truly usable for global payments, not just trading. Big for payroll.
US House just passed the GENIUS Act for stablecoins. This is huge for legit adoption, but idk if monthly disclosures are enough to truly manage market volatility risks. We need more than just transparency.
Western Union adding stablecoin on-ramps is the real bridge. This isn't just crypto playing in TradFi's sandbox. It's stablecoins becoming the global payment layer for everyone, finally.
If you want the best crypto-native talent, you need to pay them in their native currency. USDC. SOL. BTC. ETH. Daily. Weekly. Monthly. Instantly. This is exactly what we enable at @rise_pay

No big stablecoin tech news today. And honestly, that's a good thing. For global payroll, boring tech that just works is the real innovation.
US House just passed the GENIUS Act. This isn't just about stablecoins getting regulated. It's opening the floodgates for crypto payroll. You're either ready for it or you're not.
AgriFORCE just integrated stablecoins for their payments and treasury. This is exactly how stablecoins make business operations frictionless. It's not just about trading anymore.
Stablecoin summer.
JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Bank of America expects to launch a crypto stablecoin, Reuters reports.
OKX just integrated Paxos' USDG stablecoin for 60M users. This isn't just about another stablecoin. It's about regulated access reaching the masses. Payroll and payments are next.
Expect more people asking for crypto payments by tomorrow. I see it every time Bitcoin hits a new high. People see the number and instantly think: “Why not get paid in something that keeps going up?” • More freelancers want their invoice in BTC or USDC. • More agencies ask…
Mastercard and MoonPay linking up for stablecoin purchases is massive. This isn't just about buying crypto. It's Mastercard saying stablecoins are a legit rail for moving money. Payroll and payments just got a whole lot more interesting.
