July was a big month for our company But August will be bigger
Another conference with the @shield_xyz team. This time we went back to a familiar place: Medellín, Colombia. In our early days, Medellín was our home base. We were digital nomads saving money while trying to find Product Market Fit. A year later, people are lined up at our…
A while back I realized going to crypto conferences wasn’t closing clients. We switched our strategy and started attending web2 conferences. The result? $60+ million in volume for @shield_xyz To make crypto mainstream, we have to onboard those that hate crypto!

It's been a massive year for Shield! On to the next milestone 🚀
How are stablecoins used for payments? Alongside @CastleIslandVC and @dragonfly_xyz, we sourced data from 20 leading stablecoin companies (with public data from 11 more) to answer the question. A 🧵 on the incredible growth of stablecoin payments

We did about $5m in volume last week We could barely do $5m in a month just earlier this year So this is what growth looks like

some weeks you plan. other weeks you hang on 📈 biggest volume week ever (again) 🇬🇷 flight delays coming back from Greece ✨ new compliance policies, lots to review 🤝 new hires onboarding this is the life we live as founders, on to the next one
Just wrapped a great few days at #Reconnect Expo in Mykonos 🇬🇷 We met tons of wholesalers and exporters, many of whom are learning to use stablecoins for payments With the GENIUS bill gaining steam in the Senate, the timing couldn’t be better We are right where we need to be

We hit $25M total transaction volume 🚀 2.5x increase since January Next target: $50M @shield_xyz is just getting started 📈
We won 1st place! 🏆🎉 @shieldpay_co is proud to take 1st in @SiliconVlyBank + @Founders1st BHM Pitch Competition! Huge thanks to SVB, StartupOS and judges for recognizing our vision to revolutionize banking and payments for export businesses 🚀
