Crypto has spent years building its core systems around the dollar. Stablecoins, collateral, settlement almost everything still anchors back to USD risk, USD policy, or USD infrastructure. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘥, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘢 𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘵, 𝘤𝘳𝘺𝘱𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘯𝘦𝘶𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭, 𝘯𝘰𝘯-𝘴𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘪𝘯. That’s the gap @goldfishggbr is trying to fill. ------------------------------------- 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐟𝐢𝐬𝐡? Goldfish is an institutional-grade, gold-backed commodity stablecoin built to bring real, verifiable gold on-chain. This is not as a synthetic, not as a promise, but as infrastructure that exchanges, protocols, and institutions can actually rely on. ------------------------------------- 𝐓𝐡𝐞 $𝐆𝐆𝐁𝐑 At the center of the system is $GGBR, the native token of Goldfish. Each $GGBR represents 1/1000th of a troy ounce of LBMA-priced gold, issued with a 5:1 over-collateralization model and backed through a US public-company balance sheet structure. Most gold tokens focus purely on mirroring metal price exposure. Goldfish combines the metal with institutional accountability, disclosure standards, and long-term survivability. It’s built to stand up to scrutiny, not just market cycles. And to be clear, this isn’t a yield product or a DeFi protocol and not about incentives. Goldfish exists as the issuance, proof, and compliance layer for gold onchain, optimized for transparency, durability, and real integration. ------------------------------------- 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫? Because stablecoins don’t have to be dollar IOUs. And gold has historically functioned as a neutral, non-sovereign store of value. Goldfish takes that idea and makes it usable in crypto programmable, liquid, and compatible with modern onchain markets. > Over-collateralization matters. > Public-company disclosure matters. > Issuer credibility matters. If gold is going to play a serious role in crypto’s future, it needs an issuer layer designed for longevity not speculation. This isn’t a mint, there’s no whitelist and no promises are being made. It’s simply an early look at a new foundation, gold as a first-class onchain asset. Infrastructure comes before incentives, usage often comes before ownership and early attention tends to matter more than people expect. If you’re interested in where RWA is heading onchain, this is worth understanding early. Watch the Goldfish teaser here: 👇 twitter.com/Hercules_Defi/stat...

Paying people worldwide have always been tricky Liquidity, speed, and cost are the three things that really matter.

Hence, the reason many workers turned to stablecoin. @rise_pay is improving this by building a global payroll system on @arbitrum that can pay workers anywhere, instantly and compliantly. ---------------------- 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐦 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐲𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 ➢ Rise allows companies to fund payroll in USDC or USDT, giving them flexibility, while recipients can choose the stablecoin that works best for them locally. Hence, it runs its platform on Arbitrum. ➢ Around 80% of Rise’s onchain withdrawal volume runs through Arbitrum. This shows that Arbitrum has become the recipient-preferred payout rail. ➢ On Arbitrum, Rise has handled $17 million in USDC deposits and $131 million in USDC withdrawals, along with $1 million in USDT deposits and $210 million in USDT withdrawals. Altogether, that’s over $340 million in lifetime USDC and USDT withdrawals on Arbitrum alone. ➢ Arbitrum allows Rise to automate payouts entirely. Payouts trigger and confirm in seconds rather than days, and recipients can withdraw stablecoins or off-ramp into local currency through integrated providers. ------------- 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐔𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐦 𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐚𝐲𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 ➢ Beyond just payments, Arbitrum enables Rise to scale its identity and compliance tools. Each contractor receives a Rise ID, a self-sovereign professional identity on-chain built using ERC-725. These IDs let users maintain work history and certifications, plug into dapps, start pay schedules, initiate payments, and withdraw funds securely. ➢ Security is critical here because Rise IDs contain sensitive information, and by building on Arbitrum, Rise leverages Ethereum’s security infrastructure. ➢ Arbitrum’s rollup technology batches multiple transactions and submits them as a single transaction on Ethereum, which allows Rise to process high volumes of payroll transactions efficiently.

Those fear mongerers who write "Crypto is Dead" "I'm leaving Crypto.." need to step back, take a pause and think. We are still early and going through a transition phase. I'm not leaving no matter what.
