The @galaxyhq team was onsite last week at Money 20/20 meeting with clients and partners.
 
Some key themes heard on the ground:

1. Banks are leaning into crypto-collateralized lending. Institutions are exploring how to participate, whether by partnering with specialized lenders or by considering BTC as collateral for their traditional finance clients.

2. Remittance companies are becoming financial platforms. Cross-border players are expanding into tokenized investment exchanges and offering credit to their clients.

3. Stablecoin infrastructure is getting competitive. Providers are pushing hard for market share, with a key lever being sharing most of the reserve yield with issuers.

4. Payments rails are going onchain. Visa announced stablecoin payouts through Visa Direct, and Mesh will let users spend crypto and stablecoins at Visa merchants. Card programs, both traditional and crypto-based, keep multiplying, and agentic payments is emerging as an integral capability to these platforms.

The common thread here is convergence. Money movement, credit, and collateral are starting to run on the same rails. Onchain finance is past the pilot phase, and the question now is how institutions compete once those lines disappear.

TradFi and digital assets are coming together.

At the New York @Equilend User Conference, the message on 'The Path to Digital Assets' panel was clear: the main players in traditional markets are building blockchain rails.

This isn't about chasing the trend. It's about building the infrastructure.

Looking forward to speaking at DeFinition Singapore on October 7 during TOKEN2049.

Lending is one of the most important building blocks in digital assets, and I'm excited to share how we're thinking about it at Galaxy and to hear from others shaping the space. If you'll be there, I'd love to meet up.

Great conversation with @BitcoinJesusETH and @gregfeibus on the latest Milk Road Crypto episode. We got into where institutional DeFi is headed and why that matters right now.

Worth a listen.
