?? You may have seen the news that Stripe’s making a big move into #crypto, but if you think this is just about a new payment option, you may be missing the point. ?? Of course, Stripe accepting #USDC matters - alot. Stripe processes over $1 Trillion in global #payments. Furthermore, merchants won’t have to understand crypto, wallets, or even #stablecoins in order to accept it. Stripe handles everything in its backend; nothing changes from the merchant perspective except that there is now a new payment option allowing them to avoid the dreaded #creditcard processing fee. ?? But if you think Stripe’s announcement is just about a new #payments option, you’re missing the big picture. Stripe’s decision signifies #Web2 finally recognizing there ARE better ways than paying and relying on financial intermediaries. ?? The same story is playing out in #DeFi - read about it in our latest post: https://lnkd.in/g4TmYWHy?

?? Master your Liquid Restaking portfolio with OpenPool ?? In the ever-evolving DeFi ecosystem, the emergence of liquid restaking is changing how we manage and optimize digital assets onchain. Yet, with great innovation comes complexity. While liquid restaking opens up new avenues for additional yields, it also introduces new layers of complexity in data.?

OpenPool is continuously upgrading our data solutions to cut through this complexity. Our infrastructure is tailored to dissect liquid restaking activities and translate them into distinct yield income streams for both investor reporting and internal operations.
