Stablecoins are an evolution. Not a revolution. They solve real problems for millions, but inherit the limits of the system they’re built on. Bitcoin is different because it enables something else entirely: digitally native, borderless value transfer. In his latest for @Bitcoin Magazine, @Roy lays out the benefits of stablecoins, their limitations, and why Bitcoin’s utility goes far beyond fiat-based systems.

Stablecoins: Evolution, Not A Revolution

Stablecoins are ultimately capped by a ceiling that Bitcoin is positioned to smash right through. They are not an existential threat to Bitcoin.

Information moves freely. Value doesn’t. We all feel the friction, even if we don’t see it. Now there’s a solution 👀⚡️ @Roy discusses the utility of Bitcoin with @Frank Corva at @The Bitcoin Conference

Representing Bitcoin 💪 We were named one of CB Insights' Top 100 Fintechs of 2025 🚀 Thrilled to be recognized, but we’re only getting started. Let’s bring bitcoin to every app ⚡

Helping Kiwis live on Bitcoin 🇳🇿⚡️ We sat down with Rob Clarkson, co-founder and CTO of LightningPay, to talk about how their team has built the best set of tools for stacking, saving, and spending Bitcoin across New Zealand. Lightning Pay started with a simple goal: increase Bitcoin adoption across Aotearoa. What began as a way to help merchants accept BTC quickly grew into a platform where anyone can buy, sell, and spend Bitcoin directly from their bank. Rooted in New Zealand’s “number 8 wire” spirit of innovation, Rob explains how Lightning Pay is helping Kiwis protect their wealth: Bitcoin only, no distractions. Their agile team is bringing together all the financial tools Kiwis need to stack, save, and spend in one place. When it came to adding Lightning, Lightning Pay went nodeless with the Breez SDK, calling it a "developer’s dream". It removed the complexity of running nodes, managing channels, and handling liquidity, allowing the team to focus on building the best user experience and growing adoption across New Zealand. Here’s Rob’s story 🎧

Helping anyone in the world move value with Lightning ⚡️ We sat down with @Prashanth, Founder & CEO of @Bringin | The Complete ₿itcoin App, to talk about how they’re making Bitcoin usable in everyday life. Bringin’s goal is simple: help people live on Bitcoin. Buy and sell from any wallet, spend even when a merchant doesn’t accept BTC, and send or receive value anywhere in the world. Like most products, the idea was born from a problem. When Prashanth moved from India to Estonia, he was paid in BTC but waited days (sometimes weeks) to access euros while banks made the whole process a nightmare. For Prashanth, holding Bitcoin was easy. Using it? Not so much. It was from that frustration that the spark for Bringin was born. They’ve spent the last 18 months focused on building the best experience for users in beta, and have now gone public, helping Bitcoiners across Europe use Bitcoin the way they want to: from paying rent and bills to moving value across borders. And to deliver the best UX with an effortless developer experience, Bringin went nodeless with the Breez SDK. The whole integration took just “two to three weeks,” avoiding the headaches of building on Lightning. No node setup, no channel management, no liquidity issues. Just value moving freely from one person to the next, leaving the Bringin team free to focus on building for real-world adoption. Here’s Prashanth’s story 🎧

The World Is Building on Bitcoin ⚡️ From the utility of Bitcoin to a global developer challenge, new SDK implementations, and partners going live worldwide, here’s everything that happened this month in Feel the Breez. 📰:

Breez Presents Time2Build

A worldwide developer challenge to bring bitcoin to the world

Introducing the Class of Q3 2025 ⚡️ We are thrilled to announce another ten new partners bringing bitcoin to their apps with the Breez SDK. From AI to chat to super apps, meet our latest graduates. 🎓: AvatarTalk, Bitnob, BTCBitByBit, Evomone, Open Wallet, RETI , SatGo, Satsails, SwapSo and Zap LN Bot.

Just as the internet unlocked information, Bitcoin will unlock value ⚡️ Moving from payments to value transfer. Replacing walled gardens with open networks. Eliminating third parties to pave the way for peer-to-peer. This isn’t about buying a cup of coffee. It’s about building the foundation for every app of the future, with value moving like information, creating possibilities we haven’t even imagined yet. And developers don’t have to wait. Lightning is the common language of Bitcoin, subnetworks are growing, and SDKs make integration simple. The building blocks are finally here. Value is about to start moving like information, and when it does, the world will never be the same. Read @Roy ‘s latest for @Bitcoin Magazine ✍️

Bitcoin is for everyone (including $10 feature phones) 🌍⚡️ We sat down with Shishir Gupta, MD of Sorted, to talk about bringing bitcoin to the devices billions already use every day. For many, financial access is still broken. Remittances drain income as sending money to family means fees, delays, and middlemen. And while the world obsesses over shiny new apps on their latest iPhones, there’s over a billion people still using feature phones and low-powered smartphones. So Sorted decided to flip the script. They’re on a mission to bring bitcoin to one billion feature phones. Helping sats move as easy as sending a text. No speculation. No hype. Just real tools solving real problems. And the proof is already here: 250k+ downloads and backing from Tether. And with Breez’s support they’re pushing the mission further. Feature phones don’t have the power, storage, or hardware to run Lightning. The Breez SDK changes this. No channels. No liquidity. No setup fees. Just bitcoin that works, even on the most limited devices. Leaving Sorted free to do what they do best: build for everyday adoption. Here’s Shishir's story.
