Matt: 我对政治辩论不感兴趣，但我听说特朗普在辩论中发表了关于移民吃猫狗的言论。我关注的是加密货币领域，特别是稳定币。我们最近发布了一份关于新兴市场稳定币的报告，报告显示稳定币在这些市场中被广泛用于货币替代、汇款和企业财务等用途。尼日利亚的稳定币采用率尤其高，这值得进一步研究。此外，我还关注一些交易和新闻，例如TZero获得批准交易证券型代币、eToro与SEC达成和解、Coinbase推出cbBTC以及北卡罗来纳州禁止CBDC等。我对Friend.Tech的关闭以及Circle将总部迁至纽约感到失望。 Nic: 我对特朗普参与World Liberty Financial感到担忧，我认为这对他来说是一个糟糕的主意，存在法律和技术风险。我最近举办了一个主题为宠物动物园的生日派对，结果出现了一些意想不到的动物，例如猪和山羊，这给我带来了很多麻烦。我还关注稳定币报告，并对尼日利亚的高采用率感到好奇。此外，我还关注一些交易和新闻，例如Castle Island的投资以及一些加密项目的融资。我对Circle将总部迁至纽约感到震惊，这对于波士顿来说是一个损失。
