Mic Drop. Is this…mainstream adoption? Stripe, a fintech company that processes $1 Trillion in payments per year, demoed a new feature in their checkout flow yesterday — instant stablecoin payments, with options for multiple chains and wallets. Stripe settles the payment in fiat with the merchant, so no ‘crypto onboarding’ is required. Plus, merchants can avoid the dreaded 2.5% credit card transaction fee. This is also great news for Brooklyn’s Farcaster Elite. Picture this: you’re up big on $BODEN, and want to treat yourself to the Alaia Mesh Mary Jane Flats. After a simple swap for $USDC, you could be checking out on Ssense.com within seconds. This is the rare crypto news event that unites, bringing folks together from across the aisle. We saw everyone from the Design Bros to the Solana Bros to the Chart Bros hold hands on this, and I nearly shed a tear of joy.

Quick Hits. Consensys is suing the SEC for trying to make fetch happen make ETH a security (it isn’t). Tesla’s week went from bad to worse after the Cybertruck recall was followed by a drop in Q1 earnings. $1.3B was transferred from a mysterious ‘whale wallet’ to Coinbase, someone get crypto’s Gossip Girl on the case. In delulu news, the FBI really said “check our website” before making any crypto transactions. Got it!
