  Good job, @samgeorgegh, for this clear up because I thought the previous registration didn't go through. It left with sim registration against fraud, PayPal, and then hit more on the data issue.

  We are still trying to fix the issue of the PayPal, however our Ko-Fi should still be accessible. If you cannot access neither to Ko-Fi nor the PayPal, we are making note of everyone who has DMed or emailed us!

  @AskPayPal @PayPal I have been a compliant PayPal user since 2020 and today you have decided to permanently ban my account (reference number PP-L-774851620444) after I sent some documents to confirm a transaction. I need the funds ASAP and this error is costing me

  🧵 Payments Pulse — Week of April 13, 2026 The payments industry just entered a new era. SWIFT is building a live blockchain ledger for 24/7 cross-border settlement. Stablecoin regulation is cracking open in Washington. PayPal is losing ground fast. A lot moved this week. Here's what you need to know: --- 1/ SWIFT GOES ON-CHAIN SWIFT completed its blockchain ledger design phase and is now building an MVP — with 40+ banks, including JPMorgan, HSBC, Bank of America, and Deutsche Bank. Live transactions before end of 2026. The goal: 24/7 cross-border settlement using tokenized deposits. No more waiting until Monday. --- 2/ CROSS-BORDER Why this matters more than the headlines say: Traditional cross-border rails shut down on weekends. That means if your CFO wires EUR on Friday, it may not settle until Tuesday. SWIFT's blockchain ledger doesn't replace correspondent banking. It adds an orchestration layer on top of it. That's the quiet revolution. --- 3/ CRYPTO RAILS Stablecoin B2B payment volume hit $226B in 2025 — up 733% year-over-year. That's not crypto speculation. That's enterprise treasury teams quietly replacing slow, expensive wire transfers. The GENIUS Act (signed July 2025) gave them the regulatory cover they were waiting for. Adoption is now the story, not regulation. --- 4/ B2B PAYMENTS PayPal is in trouble. Q4 2025: missed earnings, missed revenue, new CEO in March. The problem isn't the product — it's merchant adoption. They rebuilt checkout, but couldn't get merchants to upgrade fast enough. Apple and Google are eating their lunch on mobile. Gen Z isn't clicking the PayPal button. --- 5/ STAT OF THE WEEK $120,000,000,000 That's how much businesses lose every year to cross-border B2B payment fees. For context: that's more than the GDP of 100+ countries. And yet most enterprises still use the same correspondent banking rails they used in 1990. The opportunity for disruption is enormous. --- 6/ UNDER THE RADAR Most people are sleeping on this: the Federal Reserve published a new note on payment stablecoins and cross-border payments — on March 30. Key finding: stablecoin adoption could meaningfully reduce the role of correspondent banks in international settlement. The Fed is not dismissing this. They're modeling it. Pay attention. --- 7/ REG WATCH Three regulatory fronts to watch right now: → US: GENIUS Act live, but stablecoin yield rules still contested — Coinbase vs. banking groups → EU: MiCA fully operational, USDT delisted from major exchanges, USDC up 337% in Europe → UK: FCA stablecoin framework expected in 2026, secondary legislation pending The US and EU are diverging. That creates compliance complexity for any payments firm operating across both. --- 8/ CONTRARIAN TAKE Everyone says SWIFT's blockchain ledger is proof traditional finance is "winning" the crypto rails war. I think that's the wrong frame. SWIFT moving on-chain isn't a victory for banks. It's an admission that the stablecoin threat was real enough to force action. The question now: can they execute before Ripple, Circle, and Stripe's Bridge build the same thing faster? --- 9/ PERSON TO FOLLOW @jerallaire — Jeremy Allaire, CEO of Circle Circle's USDC is now the fastest-growing stablecoin in Europe post-MiCA, up 337% in H1 2025. He posts daily on the intersection of stablecoins, payments, and monetary policy. If you want to understand where crypto rails and enterprise payments converge — this is the feed. --- 10/ WHAT I'M WATCHING NEXT WEEK → Any update on SWIFT's MVP bank onboarding timeline → PayPal Q1 2026 earnings — new CEO Enrique Lores' first public commentary → FedNow and RTP adoption data — will Request for Payment finally break through in B2B? → Movement on the US stablecoin yield dispute Follow @pymtexecutive for real-time takes as these develop. --- That's the Payments Pulse for April 14, 2026. 🏁 If this thread was useful: → Repost tweet 1 so others in payments can follow along → Follow @pymtexecutive for daily cross-border, B2B & crypto payments intelligence → Reply with anything I missed this week See you next Monday.

  Side cash still too slow and unreliable? Hack: Get paid real money for quick user testing sessions. Tool: UserTesting — sign up, complete 15-minute tests, cash out via PayPal. Result: $50-200 extra weekly from your existing opinions. Easy margin.
