Notabene

A stablecoin clearinghouse solves one of the biggest remaining barriers to stablecoin adoption: fragmentation. Different coins, different chains, different values across platforms. The Better Money Company is building the infrastructure to make every supported stablecoin worth exactly a dollar, everywhere. We're one of their founding design partners. Our role: Notabene provides the pre-transaction compliance and authorization layer that ensures every payment flowing through this new infrastructure is verified and compliant before it settles. As Pelle Brændgaard put it: "𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘢 𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘢𝘺𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴, 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳-𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤, 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦.

This is how money gets rebuilt. Congrats to Sam Broner ADAM ZUCK and team on the launch! #StablecoinPayments #TravelRule #Payments

Crypto-to-crypto exchanges, custodial wallet providers, businesses transferring virtual assets on behalf of customers — you're now in scope under AUSTRAC. 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲: the #TravelRule specifically for virtual asset transfers has been deferred to July 1, 2026 under AUSTRAC's transitional rules. No thresholds. No exemptions. Most firms have already started. The window to be operational by July 1 is closing fast. We've mapped the full framework — who's in scope, what information must travel with each transaction, and how to be ready before July 1.

A great first day at Digital Asset Summit 2026 came to an end with clear consensus that the regulatory window for digital assets is open! We had a ton of great conversations today with teams large and small focused on innovation and a shared recognition that 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 for US institutions to build in the digital asset space. Particularly interesting was the sentiment around open networks — in all of our conversations today with FIs, our thesis of open-loop network effects and network interoperability resonated clearly. Closed rails simply can't scale to where this market is going, and the discussions at DAS are starting to tell the story of an open future! More to come tomorrow — if you're in town, swing by and say hello to the Notabene team in between sessions 🤝 Tarek Mohammad Dennis Boyle III Clay Fain Alexander Furer #DAS2026 #Stablecoin #Payments #TravelRule #DigitalAssets

Over $1 trillion in stablecoin transaction volume has moved through the Notabene network. That number matters less as a milestone and more as context for what we're building next. Notabene's open network, with 2,100+ regulated institutions across 100+ countries, is already processing stablecoin payments at institutional scale. The compliance infrastructure, the counterparty relationships, the authorization layer: all of it is live and moving real volume. #NotabeneFlow is built on top of this. When we talk about Notabene Flow as the first open stablecoin payments platform for businesses, we're not describing a cold network looking for its first transaction. We're describing what happens when you add 𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 to infrastructure that was already trusted to securely transact trillions of dollars.

A great start to MERGE São Paulo this week! 🇧🇷 On the heels of Notabene's own 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗹 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 session and dinner on Monday, we began the week with a private regulatory summit from the #DARTE Series, where Notabene's Director of Regulatory & Compliance Catarina Veloso participated in the discussions on the interplay between virtual asset services and payment services regulations, harmonization of regulatory frameworks across LATAM, the technical and regulatory fragmentation of Travel Rule, and so much more. We also had a great time networking and learning from local operators at the 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁 and Happy Hour yesterday afternoon (Thanks Paula Pascual Cortés for adding this to the conference this year - it was great!) That brings us to today, the first full official day of programming at Merge where Catarina spoke on the main stage on the theme of '𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗥𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀, 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗥𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀: 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗹'𝘀 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗨𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀?' alongside Nicolás Alonso of Bitso, Guilherme Murtinho of Transfero, and Ibiaçu Caetano of Trace Finance - moderated by the wonderful Marcos Coelho da Rocha of Veirano Advogados who co-created our recent 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗹 𝗩𝗶𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 alongside ABToken (📕 free download link in comments 👇) Swing by Booth 15 (you can't miss us!) and 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘰 tomorrow on the final day of MERGE Madrid & Buenos Aires 🤝

𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝟴𝟰% 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗼 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗲 📈 According to the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) March 2026 report on stablecoins and unhosted wallets, stablecoins now account for 84% of illicit virtual asset transaction volume. That’s a major shift from just a few years ago, when Bitcoin dominated illicit activity. #Stablecoins are increasingly embedded in the crypto ecosystem — powering trading, liquidity, and cross-border transactions. But as their role grows, so does the compliance challenge. The same characteristics that make stablecoins useful for legitimate payments — speed, global accessibility, and price stability — also create new challenges for compliance frameworks originally built for earlier crypto markets. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁? 𝗔 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗲: • Stablecoins are now deeply embedded in global crypto liquidity • Cross-border transactions move faster than traditional compliance processes For regulators and financial institutions, this raises an important question: 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘂𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻-𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺? At Notabene, we believe the future of digital asset payments depends on building a trust layer for compliant transactions — enabling institutions to move value globally while meeting Travel Rule and AML obligations. If stablecoins are becoming the rails for global digital payments, compliance infrastructure needs to evolve alongside them.
