In the next 10 years, identity will become reusable and finance will be accessible anywhere in one click, predicts our CEO, @SamiStart.
"Reusable" here refers to the idea where an identity check on one platform can be ported to another.
This creates a better and more coherent experience for users because they do not have to verify their identity from scratch everytime they use a new financial application.
The stepping stone to this future is Transak's KYC Reliance and Auth Reliance products.
KYC Reliance and Auth Reliance allow Transak to safely rely on the KYC checks and authentication performed by apps that use our infrastructure.
As a result, apps integrate Transak can still own the KYC and authentication flows without users having to verify themselves again when using Transak within those apps.

BlackRock is making one of the smartest moves in the stablecoin industry… by avoiding stablecoins entirely. 🧵

But every version of that future involves issuers holding compliant, liquid reserve assets.
BlackRock doesn't need to predict the winner. They're building the product that every possible winner will need.

The internet should be a decentralized public good. But is it really?

I just got back from Stablecon in DC.
Three things stood out.
The room was full of CEOs and decision makers. People were shipping stablecoin products this quarter and had come to do deals and find the pieces they were missing.
Most of the conversation was about policy, regulation and infrastructure. Very little about technology, almost nothing about the price of crypto. That's a real change from the conferences I was going to a couple of years ago.
We were discussing policy in the city where the policy actually gets made. It gave the week a bit of a historic feel.

AI is getting very powerful very fast. We are now in the "AI singularity". Things are going to change a lot over the next 6-12. Things will get weird.
For now, my advice is to try to do as much as possible from the AI terminal. We are trained to tick off items manually by doing tasks on our computer, but most tasks should now start from an AI terminal.
Try to connect as much of your accounts and data to AI to give it the ability read and execute tasks.
Also look into leveraging AI agents for your repetitive tasks, at least as a triage.

Blockchain and decentralization is the most important problem for ambitious people to work on
We are in an age where AI will far exceed human intelligence in the next 10 years. That means that anything you build can and will be built by AIs much better and faster, with zero cost.
This includes building the AI itself. We have already entered the singularity and AI is building the next AI already.
Anything you can do with your career right now is then redundant. Everything except one thing:
If we do not transition to decentralized systems, including blockchain, within the next 10 years, then it will lead to a drastically worse future. It’s a binary outcome, where we need to reach escape velocity on decentralization before we reach escape velocity on centralized ultra-powerful AI.
This means that we must transition the world to decentralized payment rails (blockchain), decentralized monetary policy (Bitcoin/Ethereum), decentralized identity, self-sovereignty of financial and identity assets, and transparent and efficient government and politics (both direct and indirect democracy) through blockchain technology.
At Transak we are in a race against time to build the infrastructure for mainstream adoption of blockchain, crypto, and decentralized identity. If you are interested to learn more then check out our careers page.

Verify once to open the account. Verify again to fund it.
That is still how most crypto onboarding works because the app and the on-ramp run their own checks on the same person.
"It just feels intuitively wrong and a waste of time."
@SamiStart, our Co-Founder and CEO, explains how @Transak is fixing that in this conversation with @BlocksterCom.
Partners who have already verified a user can pass that verification to us, with the data security and permissions controls that arrangement requires.

🗣️ “Most people still think crypto adoption is about speculation. I think the bigger shift is that blockchain is quietly becoming global financial infrastructure.”
@Transak Co-Founder & CEO Sami Start (@SamiStart) says stablecoins are moving beyond crypto trading — and into payroll, remittances, enterprise payments, and everyday money movement.
