Our first ever, Fall Reserves, was one for the books. Great people, great conversations, and a big milestone to celebrate with the people building this industry alongside us. OCC preliminary conditional approval for a trust bank charter and we're just getting started!

Receiving conditional approval from the OCC is a tremendous milestone in our journey. Agora is the financial operating system for the next generation of global business: digital dollars with the operational simplicity of a bank account, faster and more capable. Stablecoins, banking, wallets, software workflows, and the operator tools to run all of it, in one place, under one regulated entity. Enterprises shouldn’t have to assemble a collection of vendors who don’t talk to each other in order to incorporate stablecoins into their business. We are thrilled to be coming home 🇺🇸, game on!

When this news comes across the wire, it just hits different. The amount of time and effort it took for @Nick_van_Eck and @drakeevans to make this possible... makes it that much sweeter. I'm proud to see @withAUSD deliver on this and can't wait to see what's next...
Agora has received preliminary conditional approval from the OCC to organize as a national trust bank. A defining early milestone on the path to a full charter for Agora and regulated stablecoin infrastructure. agora.finance/blog/occ-condi…

Confidentiality is what gets institutions comfortable onchain. AUSD is now part of that story as we are live today in @zama's confidential vault suite on @Morpho, curated by @flowdesk_co.
Confidential DeFi at scale, live today. Zama is the fastest growing confidentiality protocol for onchain finance. Today, Zama expands confidential access to 16 curated yield vaults across 5 institutional curators and 5 assets: USDC, USDT, AUSD, WBTC, and tGBP, all deployed on @Morpho.

Swap between confidential assets without exposing intent or size.

In the aftermath of 9/11, baseball helped bring our city together, offering a sense of hope, healing, and normalcy during one of the darkest chapters in our nation’s history 💙

A quarter of a century has passed since September 11, 2001, when the peace of our Nation was shattered by terrorists. Today, we remember the 2,977 precious lives taken from us, honor the heroes who answered the call, & keep their families in the heart of our Nation. Above all, we must ensure the memory of 9/11 never fades, but is carried from one generation of Americans to the next. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

For Welles.
25 years ago today Welles Crowther gave his life helping others on 9/11. This is the best story @espn has ever done. Share it with your kids and any others who may not have been alive on 9/11 and don’t know what true bravery in the face of evil is.

Replying to @Nick_van_Eck
@Nick_van_Eck breaks down where stablecoins go from here, from the GENIUS Act to why the international opportunity dwarfs the US market. Watch the full conversation with @CryptoAmerica_
🚨NEW: Some of the top companies in the Fortune 25 are gearing up to use stablecoins. This week, we sat down with @withAUSD CEO and co-founder @Nick_van_Eck, who tells us the stablecoin infrastructure provider is already working with some of the world’s largest corporations as they prepare to bring digital dollars into core parts of their operations. We also get into what the GENIUS Act could unlock, why he thinks stablecoins are “100x more valuable” outside the U.S., and why he doesn’t think the Clarity Act will have much impact on Agora’s business, whether it passes or not.

It's over 10000
$100M+ AUSD on Monad, and we've just crossed 10,000 holders. We launched with @monad in November 2025. Eight months later, this is one of the fastest-growing application footprints AUSD has seen on any network.
