I first came across @jerallaire (even though he is not in the picture, he was there!) at the World Economic Forum @Davos in 2018, when @enzymefinance, (known as Melon back then), was nominated as a Tech Pioneer.

I thought I already knew how game‑changing @circle #USDC was going to be for DeFi back then, but even my expectations were surpassed this past Friday with the debut of #CRCL on the NYSE, where shares jumped +250% above the IPO price.

At @avantgardefi, we use USDC in our stable-coin yield strategies, helping holders of cash generate uncorrelated returns from treasuries. But beyond yield:

➡️ Payments and remittances are now far more efficient (reducing friction, cost, and time) empowering those in high‑inflation economies.

➡️ USDC has become a main payment and investment medium in Web3

➡️ USDC facilitates yield opportunities through #DeFi such as lending, borrowing, yield farming, liquidity provision on platforms like @aave, @compoundfinance, and @Uniswap, unlocking wholly new, uncorrelated yield streams.

Watching this evolution from Davos 2018 to NYSE has been both inspiring and validating for those of us building infrastructure for the future of finance. A huge congratulations to Jeremy and the team!
