90% of my meetings didn't have a badge or didn't have time to sit down to see a panel If you work in payments, most of what you missed is very succinctly summed up in this thread; xitter.cf/lightspark/status/2112…

We may be approaching one of the biggest changes in how money moves since the internet went mainstream. Our CEO @davidmarcus shared some thoughts on this in a conversation with @hopeking at @Money2020 yesterday. A few takeaways from their conversation:

Today, Ramp raised $1.85B at a $60B valuation. Seven years ago, Karim and I wrote our mission on a Post-it: “Save companies time and money.” Our mission hasn't changed. It’s just gotten bigger.

With stablecoins, many platforms are abstracting away the account entirely—companies and individuals will never have to choose between restrictive savings accounts for yield, versus transactional accounts for day-to-day checking activities. The way it should be.

There should be no distinction between "checking" and "savings" accounts in 2026 I find it sad that fintechs are still playing this arbitrage game. Mercury pays 0% on checking accounts. EFFR is 3.88%. they hide this in the product (does not show 0% anywhere). to access yield, you have to click accounts, add account, create account, click savings, click create account. and then move money there. Column that powers Mercury banking doesn't even distinguish between savings and checking docs.column.com/api/bank-acc…
