Wildly excited about this launch. Agentic workflows are rapidly eating healthcare RCM; 1/3rd of our customers are AI-native. Our own agent saves customers countless hours – it's also a forcing function for making every critical piece of functionality accessible programmatically.

After 100+ convos with fintech and web2 teams, it was clear that more stablecoin clarity was needed.
So we launched Stablecoin Accounts.
Then we launched our educational Stablecoin Hub.
Today we launch our Stablecoin Signals newsletter! (kudos to @mpearl_19)
Here's a peek 🧵

The House just made history by passing major legislation on stablecoins (GENIUS Act) and market structure (CLARITY Act) in an overwhelmingly bipartisan way.
This is a huge moment for crypto and for all Americans. We’re very close to having comprehensive, proactive rules in place for the first time.
Next up: the GENIUS Act goes to the President’s desk for his signature. After that, the Senate should pass the CLARITY Act.
We believe passing these laws is the best way to ensure that America remains the world leader in the next era of the internet.
Thank you to all the cosponsors of these bills and the incredible supporters on both sides of the aisle in Congress.

If you're a founder who's raising, good pitching advice is hard to come by. Luckily we've just got some golden tips via @a16zcrypto.
Here are a few things @AriannaSimpson shared about successful pitches:
* Have a deck, don't just try to have a more casual conversation
* The deck helps clarify what you're doing - makes it easier for her to follow along
* What's the problem? What's your solution? Why is your team the one to solve it?
* Keep the slide content simple and clearly related to what you're saying
* Deck material should be 10-15 minutes of content
* Share your big, inspiring vision, even if you're starting with something simpler
* Get rid of all the acronyms
* Speak slowly, don't rush through it
