Your life doesn’t run on banking hours, your money shouldn’t either.
Stablecoins already meet that bar – with most volume moving on nights, weekends and holidays.
73% of volume to be exact.
And that’s just one of the findings from our new research with @TheBlockCo ↓

Pres Trump at the UN today... and the buzz is over whether he will meet with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. Trump's former Defense Secretary, Mark Esper, says he'd be in favor, but remember something very important #IranWar

The Pentagon ordered dozens of military officers and civilians to undergo polygraph testing after a string of leaks and reports highlighting a critically low supply of munitions, according to the New York Times. “It seems unprecedented with regard to its scale,” says former Defense Secretary @MarkTEsper.
The economic strangulation of Iran is a good move. It’s our least bad option. But it will take time, patience, discipline, and coordinated action among the U.S. and its partners to enhance the odds of success.
