SWIFT is one part of the equation here – banning some Russian banks from using SWIFT does complicate matters, but let’s not forget that Russia has had ample time to prepare, setting up direct banking relationships in Asia and elsewhere to get around correspondents.

Crypto will underpin our global financial systems - there’s no doubt about it. In the 90s we saw smart and thoughtful bipartisan regulation when it came to the internet - it completely changed the world and paved the way for the tech giants of today 1/2

4/ 2013 – Within a few weeks of joining, Stripe tried to acquire us. Ultimately the deal fell apart shortly after this dinner at El Tepa Taqueria in SF, but who knows what crypto would look like today if Stripe had gotten into the industry in 2013.

2/ Fiat on and off ramps are no simple task - finding and integrating reliable receivers for payouts who want to work with crypto is very difficult. We have 20+ ODL markets open and are continuing to push on this lead. We're also building redundancy in core markets.

More institutional adoption of crypto = bringing real-world, non-speculative use cases like payments, real estate, equities, gaming, etc + new liquidity venues + lower volatility. Next few years are going to be absolutely pivotal for crypto’s integration into our global economy.
