A 🧵how we got here
"...using the Stellar blockchain network in Circle’s US dollar-backed stablecoin USDC. Customers can send money from MoneyGram outlets, with near-instant settlement and the ability to pay in and out in cash."
I really really hate political posting, but the absolute irony and hypocrisy of hard left Dem groups like NY DSA flashing swastikas today, after years of casually throwing out terms like racist and nazi at all critics, is too much not call out
The tokenization of RWAs will undoubtedly be one of the biggest innovations the modern financial industry has ever experienced. And both individuals and institutions are beginning to discover its opportunities.
