Privacy is essential for banks moving financial operations onchain. But how do institutions protect sensitive data while still giving regulators, auditors and security teams the access they need?
@matterlabs co-founder and CEO @gluk64 explains why existing privacy solutions have fallen short and how zero-knowledge proofs could help institutions maintain control over their data without sacrificing oversight.

China moves to seize more than 61,800 bitcoin tied to a $5.7 billion fraud case, spot Bitcoin ETFs attract over $1 billion in inflows this week, and President Trump targets overseas crypto scam operations.

RESEARCH: Stablecoins settled roughly $35T onchain in 2025, more than @Visa and @Mastercard combined.
Only about $390B of it was a real payment.
A new CoinDesk Research report maps where the value actually went, and why @crediblefin is building for the gap in between.
@crediblefin operates in that open frontier.
It fronts settlement from an onchain pool, paying merchants in $USDC or $USDT while local rails clear over 1 to 7 days.
Volume rose from $23M in January to ~$191M in September, roughly $2.3B annualised, at a ~20bps take.
The margin is the spread Credible earns on fronted capital, over the 8 to 16% it pays liquidity providers.
That layer, float and clearing, is where the durable business in payments now sits.
