👀 ICYMI: The predictable value of stablecoins makes them ideal for cross-border payments, especially for global businesses, which incur significant costs when using the SWIFT network. 📖 Read more here – https://lnkd.in/gFmxJkcB

Today, we hear from Raj Kamal (Founder & CEO of TransFi) on how stablecoins are making global payments faster, cheaper, and more efficiently. 🌎💱 https://lnkd.in/gFmxJkcB - A new generation of crypto could replace the rigid and antiquated SWIFT system for international payments. Using stablecoins, businesses can move money around the world almost instantly, with greater certainty, and at lower cost. - Because the value of stablecoins is pegged to a national currency, often the US dollar, these digital assets do not fluctuate or invite speculation the way Bitcoin and many other cryptos do. The volume of cross-border payments made using stablecoins has grown tenfold since 2020, to $2.5 trillion annually. - To further cement the use of stablecoins and unlock their significant benefits, we need smart, sensible regulation in the US. Stablecoins need to preserve their stability and be protected against criminals, terrorists, and other bad actors who are looking for untraceable ways to move money. #transfi #stablecoins #crypto #quietcapital #venturecapital

👀 ICYMI: Why are we facing weapon shortages? The answer has to do with the types of munitions we produce, how we produce them, and the number of companies that make them. 📖 Read more here – https://lnkd.in/gEhs-FJc

Today, we hear from Joe Cieslik (Co-Founder & COO of Aeon) and Naweed Tahmas (Co-Founder & CEO of Aeon) on how tech companies are bringing much-needed competition to the production of weapons systems. https://lnkd.in/gEhs-FJc - The war in Ukraine, entanglements in the Middle East, and potential conflicts in Taiwan have revealed shortfalls in US weapons systems and structural vulnerabilities in our defense base. - To deter future conflicts with powerful, nuclear-armed adversaries, America’s defense force is modernizing to produce weapons systems more quickly, in greater numbers, and more cost-effectively. - Tech innovators are building autonomous, software-driven systems and using non-traditional approaches to manufacturing and supply chains. #venturecapital #quietcapital #nationaldefense #aeon

Congratulations to the Infinitus Systems, Inc. team!

Today, we hear from Stas Sokolin (Co-Founder & CEO of Amae Health) on how data could help deliver vastly improved care for the 14 million Americans with severe mental illness. 🧑⚕ https://lnkd.in/gZWKG6an - More than 14 million adults in the United States have a severe mental illness (SMI), which affects how they feel, think, and behave. Few receive quality care. - The driving force behind mental health medications and treatment plans is qualitative, not quantitative, unlike the vast majority of medical specialities. Meanwhile, the most significant innovation in healthcare delivery over the last half-century—telemedicine—has done little to boost care for people with SMI. - Standardizing data collection will eliminate guesswork when it comes to treating patients with SMI, and revamping in-person care gives patients the lifesaving support they need. #venturecapital #quietcapital #mentalhealth #amaehealth
