Weaponization of the banking system in 2022 felt like 1984. Much of the corruption links back to pressure from pockets of the government itself. Thank you @USComptroller and @SecScottBessent for bringing much needed scrutiny. Americans deserve fair access to innovative financial services, regardless of their beliefs, affiliations, or political views. occ.gov/topics/charters-and-…

"won't the banks just buy all of the crypto companies?" well, not exactly... We signed a deal to fully acquire Saldo Bank, a digital-first specialized bank licensed in Lithuania serving retail, SME customers, and B2B partners across multiple European countries. This adds to the @Payward infrastructure, particularly in Europe, where we already serve millions of customers. The transaction will take some time to close, but very much looking forward to working with the Saldo team. payward.com/press-release/pa…

We’ve signed an agreement to acquire Saldo Bank, a licensed specialized bank in Lithuania operating across five European markets. An EU banking license meaningfully expands Payward Banking. Subject to closing conditions and regulatory approvals. payward.com/press-release/pa…

Clear and effective rules are critical for companies building with digital assets. The US cannot afford to fall behind on crypto market structure. Payward's @JonathanJachym joined @CoinDesk to unpack the @CFTC’s latest spot crypto proposal and our plans to bring regulated Hyperliquid perpetuals to the US. coindesk.com/video/kraken-pa…

Capital in crypto markets is moving to new places. On CNBC, Payward and Kraken Co-CEO Arjun Sethi described a rotation of investor interest toward perpetuals, pre-IPO companies and tokenized equities, including exposure to companies tied to the AI boom and also shared about our partnership with @SGB_app. The bigger shift, he said, is about access. Permissionless, onchain markets can open tokenized traditional assets to investors anywhere, without the geographic limits that have shaped who gets in and when.

"We’re not a holding company... It’s one platform, one balance sheet, one regulatory stack." The same rails that power our own products are increasingly being opened to partners across the financial system.

Payward is partnering with @Ledger to connect Ledger’s security infrastructure with Payward’s global financial rails. Kraken customers will be able to use Ledger signers directly in Kraken, while Ledger Wallet™ will leverage @PaywardServices infrastructure to power buy, sell, and swap flows and offer tokenized equities through xStocks to its global userbase. payward.com/press-release/le…

Payward has filed to bring single-stock perpetual futures to US traders on Kraken. Ten US equities to start: $TSLA $SPCX $NVDA $AVGO $MU $AAPL $MSFT $AMZN $GOOGL $PLTR We're also working toward 24/5 trading - because stock markets close, and the events that move them don't. The goal is to give traders a way to respond when news breaks, not when the bell rings.
