  • It reportedly raised $500M at a $5B value, led by Thrive Capital and Greenoaks.

Why Product Managers Should Pay Attention

Payments shape product

Faster, cheaper, final settlement changes checkout, refunds, and payouts. If you need an exec‑ready spec fast, use our PRD playbook in The ChatGPT PRD Workflow That Gets PMs Promoted Faster (read the guide in our PRD playbook).

Usage pricing gets easier

Event‑level charges (per transfer, per confirmation) fit AI & API products. Get a copy‑paste model in our usage pricing playbook.

Cross‑border UX becomes a moat

Faster global payouts unlock creator, marketplace, and gig use cases. Build a demo with our AI prototyping guide and show before/after support metrics.

Trust and rules move up‑front

New stablecoin rules mean buyers ask about KYC, screening, and audits. Keep leaders aligned with the PM Visibility Playbook.

Career upside

Teams need PMs who turn protocol limits into simple UX. Sharpen your edge with the Product Manager Toolbox. Looking for your next step? We post verified remote PM jobs and explain our job verification process.
