When I choose where to bank, I do it based on the services, UX, and brand. I take for granted that the spending power won't differ. This is singleness of money.
Stablecoins are breaking singleness. We're fixing that so stablecoins are, in fact, better money.
People hold money in thousands of banks, neobanks, and payment platforms in the US, but the value of your dollar doesn’t change depending on where you hold your money. That’s singleness.
Stablecoins don’t have it yet. Converting between one dollar stablecoin to another today typically happens via exchanges, AMMs, or OTC desks. That introduces slippage, a market-driven cost that’s variable and hard to predict, on top of ordinary fees.
In our latest post, our co-founder @AdamZuck13 covers how fiat built singleness, where stablecoins still fall short, and the clearing infrastructure that closes the gap: bettermoney.com/insights/sta…

One of my favorite sales motions at The Better Money Company is when we start by working with the treasury team, then they introduce us to the product team.
Turns out Better Money helps you make better products and simplifies your back office!
We talk a lot about moving money “at par” at TBMC. As much as we love a good golf analogy (@LayneHaber), that’s not what we’re talking about.
“At par” means a dollar should always remain worth a dollar even in transit. With stablecoins today, that's not how it works.
When you convert one stablecoin to another or move across chain, you often experience slippage. This is par value of a dollar breaking. It’s unacceptable. We can’t credibly call stablecoins better money until this is fixed.
That’s what we’re doing here at TBMC.
$1 should equal $1. That’s what moving money “at par” means. Most stablecoin conversions today don’t work that way.
That’s because they run through crypto trading rails: exchanges and market makers. Swap 100,000 USDA into USDB that way, and what arrives depends on the market at that moment. If the best buyer is paying $0.999, you get about 99,900 USDB. That gap is slippage.
The Better Money Company’s clearinghouse takes the trade out of the process. We redeem USDA and mint USDB directly with the issuers, so every step happens at par.
It's truly an admirable level of confidence to have public Venmo transactions turned on. You have to trust yourself and all your friends. That's nuts.
In an age of AI and agents, people still like a nice UI to work from. They asked and we delivered!
Say hello to the TBMC Console!
Send, receive, and convert stablecoins, test in a real-money sandbox, and see your whole account in one place. Built for treasury and operations teams, and for developers who want to get hands-on from day one. Here's what's inside:
⚡️Instant or Standard settlement for payments and conversions
🔃Auto Routes: one deposit address that converts any supported stablecoin automatically
💡Test funds faucet: TBMC provides real USDC for you to test
💻Your account, wallets, and orders in one view
and more!
Two companies with compliance at their core joining forces to make stablecoin payments better! 🤝
Your business holds $USDC, and a vendor invoices you in $RLUSD. Now what?
Today that mismatch sits in the middle of your payment: go to an exchange or OTC desk, sell your USDC, buy RLUSD, eat the slippage and fees, wait for it to settle, maybe bridge chains, and then finally pay the invoice.
All of that to move from a dollar to a dollar.
Together with @notabene_id, we’re removing this complexity. Notabene Flow orchestrates the invoice payment, the TBMC clearinghouse converts between stablecoins with no slippage, 1:1, and with predictable timing. You pay in what you hold, your vendor receives what they want, and you never think about the step in between.
First payment through the integration? Our own invoice. We’re a Notabene customer, so we paid them through Flow with the TBMC clearinghouse handling conversion.
Watch @SamBroner and @na_alice make the payment live:
There shouldn’t be a single standard for when to freeze a stablecoin. Different stablecoins should freeze under different (transparent) conditions. I want my stablecoin I use in DeFi to have stricter freeze conditions than the stablecoin used by my bank to move money under the hood.
Companies will want to make this decision for themselves on behalf of their users. One big reason why there will be hundreds or thousands of stablecoins in the long run.
these two separate "Tether freezes" news out today are wild, not just for the news themselves but the bigger point of Tether controlling $180B with the flip of a switch.
I'm not saying stablecoin issuers shouldn't freeze accounts in the case of hacks and other extreme cases, but there should be a predictable standard to do so.
I think the lowest risk option is to do so only do under court order (I believe that's what Circle does), the problem is that's often too slow and hackers will get away. but some intermediate process that's not completely arbitrary.
Movie pitch: The Departed, but for AI agents. A rogue agent is undercover inside the control monitors. A control monitor is undercover among the rogue agents. Each is trying to figure out who (what?) the other is. Who gets flipped? Fate of humanity is at stake.
Your welcome Hollywood

What happens when there are hundreds of stablecoins? Sam talks it through with @jacqmelinek on @_TalkingTokens, plus what a clearinghouse does and what it takes for stablecoins to become everyday money. Full episode below.

- How stablecoins could double margins for businesses
- What stablecoins need to become everyday payment infrastructure

Watch below or on X:
We don't trade dollars with fiat - we shouldn't do that with stablecoins either! This is essential for stablecoins to cross the chasm to be better money.
The BIS knows this: bis.org/speeches/20260828-pu…
Selling a stablecoin on an exchange treats it like an asset. For payments, that's fundamentally the wrong approach. The TBMC clearinghouse eliminates the trade from moving between dollars: direct integrations with issuers, 1:1 redemption, stablecoin to stablecoin.
Our co-founder, @AdamZuck13, breaks it down on @withpersona's Personally podcast.
Imagine launching a new bank and needing to pay seven figures to Citadel to market make your wires to ensure there is enough liquidity.
That's how moving between different tokenized dollars works today. It shouldn't be. And doesn't need to be.

Incredible to be able to spend the July 4th weekend watching the greatest athletes on earth compete under brutal heat, with their nation watching, and everything on the line.
The grit. The performance under pressure. The hours, days, and years of hard work behind the scenes paying off. The best of the best rising to the top.
Joey Chestnut still the GOAT. Absolute dominance.
