Stablecoins aren't just entering the financial mainstream, they're becoming a priority across the industry.
At @money2020, @m_at_anvil, @Akhparty, & others connected with everyone from payment processors & VC firms to fintech platforms & more through interviews, meetings, & partnership discussions.
Across these conversations, one trend was clear: even the most traditional companies are exploring how to adopt onchain value.
As this adoption accelerates, so does the demand for infrastructure that makes digital assets usable across existing financial workflows.
The timing couldn't be better for Anvil. 🛠️

Before stock tickers, Osaka sent market prices by flags.
In Japan’s Edo period, feudal domains collected taxes in rice, then sold it through warehouse auctions. Buyers received bills redeemable for rice, and those bills became tradable.
In 1730, the shogunate officially authorized the Dojima Rice Exchange, with both a market for rice bills and a futures market recorded in account books. Membership rules and a clearing function helped organize trading. Prices traveled hundreds of kilometers by courier and flag signals.
The striking part isn’t just that people traded rice on paper. It’s that a market needed ways to settle obligations and distribute prices.
Finance’s supporting infrastructure can matter as much as its cleverest contract.
Tokens that support the infrastructure that the new financial system is going to be built on. ETH, Aave, Uniswap, Anvil, Amp, etc.

"I didn't qualify for the lowest rate, despite saying I had the highest credit score he's ever seen. I didn't have enough debt to qualify. A system that says you're not in debt enough to get a lower rate is backwards.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 US officially finalizes new crypto stablecoin regulations under the GENIUS Act.
The U.S. once printed dollars with a wartime “off switch.”
In 1942, it replaced regular currency in Hawaii with special $1, $5, $10, and $20 notes stamped “HAWAII.” The reason wasn’t local pride: if enemy forces occupied the islands, the U.S. could declare those identifiable notes worthless.
The notes wouldn’t automatically stop working. The markings made it possible to invalidate that particular currency without invalidating everyone else’s dollars.
Think of it as financial containment printed onto cash. Capturing the banknotes wouldn’t necessarily mean capturing their spending power. Money’s value depended on its continued recognition, not simply possession of the paper.

Stablecoin issuers held roughly $153 billion in US Treasury bills at the end of 2025.
That means onchain dollars are no longer isolated from traditional markets. They are becoming meaningful participants in government funding and short term liquidity.

"You go to a bank and say, 'Hey, I have this PSA 10 Illustrator Pikachu.' They have no idea what you're talking about. But if it's truly worth that and it's liquid, why not? It's in their interest to absolutely give you a loan based on these things."
Tokenization of alternative assets could open the door to making almost ANYTHING collateral, even your Pokémon cards!
Page 1 of the Tax payer money laundering playbook. Overpay a friend/families company to design a stupid thing, overpay them to install it, wait for the stupid thing to prove how stupid it was, give a public apology and promise to fix the stupid thing, overpay to have it redesigned and replaced, keep 90% of the excess payments and funnel it to your political party to stay in power.
Nobody, it’s collateralized. The borrower puts up their digital assets as collateral in an over collateralized LOC. If they don’t pay by the agreed upon date then their collateral is claimed. But I guess you could say the borrower would get hit because if they don’t want to sell their collateral then they would be the one losing out. If you pay on time that won’t happen.
I’m not too worried about that, we have some smart people amongst our ranks. The Anvil Research Labs team is super smart and pretty conservative with risk as well. $ANVL is in a really good spot.
