  PayPal: We recognize you on this device. PP (seconds later): fill in the secret code we will text you. Also PP (seconds after): please check your email for a secret code. You didn’t really recognize me then, did you, PP? It’s okay, I get it. I’m terrible with names, too.

  CONGRESS BANS THE FED FROM THE DIGITAL DOLLAR RACE The Senate voted 89-10. No government digital dollar until 2030. The ban is explicit: The Federal Reserve cannot issue or create a CBDC - directly or through intermediaries - for at least four years. The stablecoin market hit $319 billion in April 2026. USDT sits at $189.6B. USDC at $77.6B. Stablecoins processed $46 trillion in transaction volume in 2025 - 20x PayPal, nearly 3x Visa. Circle and Tether now own this market. No government competitor until 2030. The policy context matters. The GENIUS Act was signed into law in July 2025 - the first comprehensive federal framework for dollar-backed stablecoins. Congress didn't stop there. It then banned the Fed from competing with them entirely. Since the GENIUS Act passed, daily stablecoin transaction volumes soared from $1 trillion to $4 trillion. Circle vs. Tether: diverging paths. USDC was already compliant before the law passed - 1:1 T-bill backing, institutional custody, monthly attestations. Tether launched USAT in January 2026 as a separate U.S.-compliant stablecoin through Anchorage Digital Bank. Global USDT stays outside the U.S. framework. The bottom line. Washington isn't just tolerating private stablecoins. Treasury Secretary Bessent has confirmed a U.S. digital dollar remains "off the table." Policy is actively choosing private over government. And it's locked in for four years.

  BREAKING: @PayPal winds down venture arm as fintech giant restructures under new CEO PayPal is shuttering its 10-year-old venture team amid a broader corporate shakeup, according to five sources familiar with the matter. The fund’s headcount has shrunk from more than 10 in late 2025 to now only two, according to an archived version of the website for PayPal Ventures. Meanwhile, the page that listed the venture unit’s employees is no longer visible. PayPal is also exploring the sale of some of its positions on the secondary market and has hired the investment bank Jefferies to help with potential transactions, said one source familiar with the matter, who declined to be named while talking about private business dealings. PayPal established its venture arm in 2016, one year after eBay spun off the fintech into an independent company. Since then, PayPal Ventures, which invests off the fintech’s balance sheet, has backed more than 80 companies across three funds that total more than $850 million. Some of its more prominent bets include the fintech Plaid, the crypto custodian Anchorage Digital, and its exits include Bill com’s acquisition of the startup Divvy in 2021. The performance of the venture fund’s portfolio contributed 10 cents to PayPal’s $1.53 earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2025, as opposed to subtracting four cents in 2024, according to a February earnings release.

  @What_is_Praise @catturd2 It’s a terrible process. After I complained enough I got a letter from PayPal basically telling me to sue the buyer if I felt cheated.
