“It used to be the case that if you were a fintech company and you wanted to expand internationally, you had to get licensed on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. But now stablecoins are this enabling force that allows you to deliver USD banking products to businesses all over the world. So a lot of this funding is going to go towards making Slash this global product and bringing the caliber of product we've given to American entrepreneurs, but to business owners all over the world as well.”

AISO Market Calls classifies public statements from public sources. A classification such as long thesis, short thesis, or explicit call describes the content of the public statement and does not prove that the speaker actually entered, exited, or held a position. Market performance shown is calculated from public market data around the source publication or timestamp. It is not investment advice.
