In collaboration with @StellarOrg and the Stablecoin Standard, we have co-authored a new report on the future of payments.

🧭 The Path to Seamless Blockchain-Based Retail Payments: The Role of Interoperability

- Stablecoins are on the verge of mainstream adoption as regulatory clarity improves

- Financial institutions are preparing to launch new blockchain-based offerings

- But without decentralized interoperability, we risk replicating the same security issues we set out to solve

That’s why we’re not just talking about it, we’re building it.

Axelar is preparing to integrate with Stellar to enable fast, low-cost, cross-chain payments.

This brings us one step closer to truly global, seamless blockchain-based retail transactions.

🟠 Announcing OpenBridge 🟠

Now, applications can secure high-value transactions using multiple crosschain protocols.
Applications can combine multiple interoperability protocols or bridges in a single transaction, requiring verification from some or all of them.

This configuration, sometimes called x of y of n, can be used to enhance security for high-value transactions.

OpenBridge is brought to you by Axelar developer @interop_labs and blockchain security leader @OpenZeppelin - the same teams that led development of the ERC-7786 standard endorsed by the Ethereum Foundation Interoperability Working Group.

OpenBridge is completely open-source: no proprietary code, externally owned accounts or venture-backed middlemen.

📢 Community Update 📢

Axelar co-founder @yorgosv_ joined @TaliaKaplan on CNBC to discuss the next major wave of onchain adoption.

“A dip can be an onboarding event, but it doesn’t happen by itself. You need a good reason for people to come onchain. Yield will be a key driver for that moment.”

The takeaway: sustainable yield and real utility will power the next phase of growth for the XRP ecosystem and beyond.
