Stablecoins as Crypto Gateway

Kool said stablecoin growth from companies and countries like Apple or Tesla will bring trillions and serve as the main onramp to crypto, praising Tether's success. Kkoma, Landy, awestin.eth, and Bread discussed Privy's multi-chain support including EVM, Solana, Tron, and others, noting seamless UX without seed phrases and Tron's dominant stablecoin metrics.

Real World Privy Wins for Builders

Bread shared his betting app Billy Betts using Privy for 740 users with easy Google or email login and fiat to USDC flows via MoonPay or Coinbase. Adam McBride called the news extremely bullish as his team built similar self-custodial tooling, saying wallets are dead and normies just want Google login while every chain needs customers.

Empress Challenges Centralization

EMPress questioned the group on cucking for corporate banking and easy ATM-like onboarding that abandons self-custody principles. Bread and Adam McBride clarified Privy creates self-custodial wallets and allows key export though some platforms like Banker gatekeep it, with Dave confirming via the dashboard.privy.io that keys remain non-custodial.

Landy explained the Stablecoin Act and Genius Act as likely to pass because they suck up US treasuries and help clear the Fed balance sheet. EMPress and Bread pointed to Polygon moves including Sandeep taking over the Foundation, an X integration with Polymarket, and Privy-backed farming opportunities in the FarQuest ecosystem.
