DeFi's second act isn't retail yield farming. It's institutions: tokenized collateral, onchain credit, 24/7 settlement. The plumbing is being rebuilt while most people argue about prices. We'd rather build the plumbing. 🏗️

Stablecoins and payments remain at the forefront of crypto innovation. Stablecoin transaction volume in 2024 alone: • 14T+ in on chain volume • Growing 40% YOY despite market conditions @LightNodeVent remains laser focused on the teams building the new financial payment rails.
Very well curated Borderless Payments Summit organized by @solana last week in Brooklyn. New York is home to many promising fintech and payments start ups. Payments and stablecoins are very important verticals to us at @LightNodeVent and looking forward to supporting more entrepreneurs in this sector.

As people start viewing it as $0.1M instead of $100K, the focus will shift back from hype to utility. What do you think will drive the next wave of adoption?
