Every wallet, exchange, and fintech wants a stablecoin card. Few know what it takes.
We asked @WirexApp, @StripeCrypto, @StraitsX, and @InterlaceMoney, and checked their answers against the 30+ programs we track.
Our free guide to launching a stablecoin card is out now 🧵

We set out to understand why many stablecoin cards charge FX fees as high as your bank.
Card currencies, explained: what the networks charge across borders, how much settling in USD really costs, and who's fixing it.

🔑 Why Implied Volatility Matters in Crypto Options
💰 @BlockScholes provides crypto derivatives data for options, calibrating volatility surfaces to prices pulled from both centralised and decentralised exchanges.
🧮 @KyanExchange uses this data for liquidations, margining, and mark prices — as well as funding rate mark prices for perps on the exchange.
📈 On the options side, implied volatility is the key input for pricing an option.
🏦 For market makers, that means IV data is essential for understanding where the mid-price of an option should be, so they can market make around it.

Block Scholes is the sole crypto vol data provider to the Bloomberg Terminal.
That same surface comes out of Kyan's API with self-service keys and no fee, which closes the gap between what a desk and a self-directed trader can quote off of.

I've been treating AI work from the beginning as the work of an intern, and that has worked out pretty well.
Sometimes if the feature is complex I first do a pass of light scaffolding where i start to structure the code how I want it, and leave placeholders.
LLMs thrives around structure, as they are designed to recognize patterns. From my experience, if you design a whole new feature and the AI can't really find proper structure around it in your codebase, result quality will be much lower.
I then make Codex do most of the implementation work, and do a very light review myself, to make sure the code is not unnecessarily bloated. If codex doesn't structure the code the way I imagined and I can think of a more efficient way to do it, I'll guide it.
Then in a new session I ask codex to review the changes compared to the base branch, most of the time he will find issues, in which case I make him fix what's worth fixing, always making sure the fix doesn't lead to unnecessary bloat through a very light review
I then trigger a new review in a new session, and keep repeating this until there are no more issue worth fixing.
When codex is done fixing issues, I then usually make Claude do a pass of review. Claude is usually much more nitpicky and often a lot of his findings are not really worth fixing. So I feed the output to Codex, and ask it to review what is valid and worth fixing. In some case, it will highlight a valid problem than Claude found and Codex missed.
Once all those steps are completed and both Codex and Claude don't find any meaningful issue anymore, I'll do a manual very in-depth review myself, in the same manner I would review the PR of an intern.
Then another person from the team will also do another pass of manual review on my PR before it is merged.
Ultimately, I think it also depends on what type of software you are working. I could probably live with few less pass of reviews that I am currently doing if I wasnt working on a financial app like @KyanExchange where there is no room for mistake.

Kyan's liquidation orders are queryable: WebSocket orders channel or REST open-orders. Filter liquidation=true.
When an account hits liquidation the system first tries to delta hedge it. If that fails, the orders post as limits with a delta-scaled taker incentive (~20% max).
"You can get favorable fills on somebody's liquidation."
Kyan doesn't flash-kill positions. Liquidations are gradual, the liquidation bot walks orders into the book over minutes. Free pickup for anyone watching.
Clip from last Thursday's community call. Mainnet is open.

This is just effective fee rate no?
If its rebates it for the fees anyway so why dress it up
New big hint on the $POLY airdrop formula just dropped from Polymarket.
We already knew trading volume would be one of the criteria and now we have a much clearer idea of how it may be calculated:
wV = Trade Size × (1 − Entry Price) × Category Weight
The key part here is the Entry Price.
A lot of people farmed millions in volume by buying shares at 99% or 99.9%, so this is really bad news for bonders.
Most of that volume will end up having barely any weight.

Vol was meant to be sold.
Marty + Andrew from Block Scholes on this week's Options Talk: BTC ran 30% through war with vol collapsing every week, ETH/BTC vol parity is here, and MicroStrategy might be the silent vol seller nobody can see.

Standard retail options fee: ~3 bps.
Kyan: 0.25 bps to the insurance fund and that's it - zero fees besides that.
For anyone selling weekly puts as a strategy, the fee delta is your edge here. Run the math on your last 100 short-dated trades.
