What has more locations globally than Walmart, 7-Eleven, McDonald's, and Subway combined? @MoneyGram.

shortly after we started bridge, terra-luna collapsed, ftx imploded, btc declined >75%, nfts crashed.
*all* of crypto was uninvestable

Owning productive assets via the stock market has been the best wealth building mechanism of all time.
You are working to convince an entire generation to focus on meaningless short term bets. You actively work to destroy the wealth of your customers.

Big news, and I'm on 🧵 for the second time in as many weeks,

MGUSD is issued by @stripe 's Bridge, with smart contracts from @m0 and wallet infrastructure from @FireblocksHQ.

Today we launched MGUSD.
This wasn’t a decision made overnight.
This is the result of five years of putting stablecoin to work in the real world.
The outcome: A purpose-built stablecoin to power @MoneyGram global network.
Not for traders or institutions, but to make the experience better, faster, and more cost effective for our customers.

MoneyGram is joining @Tempo as its anchor remittance validator, actively contributing to the network’s operation, security and reliability.
Another step toward a more open, interoperable payments network, where stablecoin rails support real-world money movement at scale.
