.@harleyf (President @shopify) on the company's approach to stablecoins: "USDC just gives merchants more choices, more security, and offers much faster settlement." "With stablecoins, offering a payment method that combines the transparency of blockchain with the speed and price stability of a major currency is really valuable." "Merchants get paid in dollars, there's no new wallet, there's no added friction and it's just a seamless, flexible, safe transaction. It's about utility, not speculation."

Harley Finkelstein (@harleyf) on taking @shopify public: "For those companies out there, there's this perception that the public markets are something to avoid. Let me just say, one of the best things Shopify did was go public. It's made us a better company." "If your company is ready, the team is ready, the business is ready, accessing the public markets should not be seen as a last resort. It's been an amazing experience for us."
