Vision board:
1. Strong bipartisan vote on CLARITY Sep 15th
2. Uptober
3. Next crypto bull run begins
Just as the prophecy foretold
Remember when we called them stablecoins because everything else in crypto was… not?
Fair. It made sense at the time, so the name stuck. But fast forward and the role stablecoins are playing today looks very different.
Stablecoins are now powering payments, treasury, cross-border flows, and embedded finance. Not because they’re “stable,” but because they’re faster, programmable, cost effective and more operationally efficient than traditional money movement rails.
At some point, we may need to admit the label undersells the moment. In other words, this isn’t just digital cash with better branding. It’s better money for better businesses.
As the underlying rails continue to get faster, more deterministic, and more purpose-built for real financial workflows… the gap between “stablecoin” and “better money” is only going to widen.
Maybe the name stays. Maybe it doesn’t.
But the direction is clear: this isn’t just about stability anymore. It’s about infrastructure finally being built for how money moves in modern financial systems.
We’ve moved past the point where stablecoin adoption is about demand.
The real constraint now is infrastructure. Specifically whether it’s built for enterprise-grade payments and embedded finance, not just crypto-native experimentation.
Enterprises don’t adopt rails because they’re interesting. They adopt them because they’re predictable: deterministic settlement, cost certainty, uptime, and architectures that scale without fragmenting liquidity. When those conditions aren’t met, adoption stalls regardless of how strong the use case is.
That’s why we’re seeing a shift away from “blockchain-agnostic” deployments toward intentional infrastructure choices. Payments, treasury, payroll, and embedded finance require networks that behave like real financial infrastructure, with performance and operational rigor baked in.
My take: the next wave of stablecoin growth won’t be driven by market cycles. It will be driven by payments-grade blockchain infrastructure that can support high-volume, real-world financial flows without compromise.
Stablecoins are ready. The question is whether the infrastructure we build on is.
In an environment where macro capital is re-allocating and speculative crypto asset performance is under pressure, we’re seeing a very different story play out for stablecoins — one grounded in utility rather than price narratives.
Stablecoins are increasingly being integrated into payments, payroll, and treasury workflows precisely because they solve for speed, programmability, and operational efficiency, not speculation. That shift is significant. It tells me we’re no longer talking about crypto as an experiment in payments infrastructure, we’re watching it become value-driven infrastructure.
From corporate payroll wallets denominated in stablecoins to settlement corridors for global payments, the emerging use cases are less about “crypto markets” and more about how value moves in and across global enterprise systems.
For executives in fintech and embedded finance, this should reinforce a simple premise: stablecoin primitives are unlocking real, repeatable financial flows. They’re showing up where speed matters, cost matters, and where traditional rails have long been a bottleneck.
This is a good week to take stock of how these foundations are being built and where they could meaningfully accelerate the future of payments.

Most people are only comfortable playing it safe.
Doing the thing with nearly 100% odds of success.
But those people usually struggle to do anything noteworthy.
Nearly everything big, bold, impactful or disruptive requires immense risk taking.
So go bigger. Take more risks.

2025 is the year crypto went mainstream.
Government stopped fighting it. Wall Street realized they had to play. Banks are about to speed run into the industry.
This is what mass adoption looks like.

$ETH to $10k
“Next leg up could catch everyone off guard”
Not me. I’ve been waiting for this.
These models are good, but he doesn’t even mention the demand from the $ETH treasury companies
$ETH looks good here
In my view, and the view of our model at @EMJCapital ETH is going to $10,000.
And almost no one understands why.
Here’s what our model sees coming — and why the next leg up could catch everyone off guard 👇

🚀Announcing our $82M Series B, led by @paradigm!

🚨 ⚡ Breaking: I’m proud to share that @meshpay has raised $82 million in Series B funding to build the first truly global #crypto #payments #network – one that makes crypto as easy, seamless, and universal to use as fiat. Most of the investments were closed with PayPal USD (#PYUSD) stablecoin.
This round, led by @paradigm (Charlie Noyes & Matt Huang) with participation from @Consensys , QuantumLight, Yolo Investments, Evolution VC, Hike Ventures, Opportuna and AltaIR Capital, that brings our total funding to over $120 million.
Regulatory clarity is taking shape, institutions are leaning in, and #stablecoins are booming. The industry has gotten everything it could have asked for – and then some. Crypto finally has its shot at mainstream adoption.
The industry is ready, the technology is ready and we believe #Payments are the unlock.
💡 What is Mesh and How it solves the crypto payments challenges?
Mesh is building the #network that connects #wallets, #exchanges, Payment Service Providers (PSPs), and businesses as one cohesive operating system. Users can pay with any asset they hold – BTC, ETH, SOL – while merchants settle in the hashtag#stablecoin of their choice: PYUSD, RLUSD, USDC. It’s seamless, instant, and works everywhere. Just like it should. It’s the foundational infrastructure for a #borderless, open financial system. A system where payments aren’t confined by geography, banking hours, or asset types. One network that works across #TradFi and #crypto.
Our technology already powers payments, deposits, and transfers across 300+ wallets, exchanges, and platforms. We reach over 400 million users in 100+ countries. With this capital, we’re expanding globally to making crypto payments as easy as using a credit card.
Thank you to everyone on the Mesh team and all of our investors and advisors for their brilliance, hard work, and inspiration. This milestone would not have been possible without their continued support and trust in our vision. We look forward to entering this next phase of growth together.
And we are hiring! DM me to build the future together.
