🚨 Why is this important?
• If Big Tech issues stablecoins, they could quickly achieve massive adoption – billions of users.

• This could be a flashpoint for state regulation of stablecoins.

If any of the Big Tech companies:
• collaborate with Layer3 / Galxe / Zealy projects,
• invest or integrate with any stablecoin or Web3 infrastructure (e.g., Circle, Starknet, Polygon),
it is worth following and participating in early campaigns.
