News, perspectives, and product updates from Agora on stablecoins, money movement, and the infrastructure shaping modern finance.

Today, we welcome Matthew Yehle as Senior Vice President of Revenue. Matthew brings more than two decades of experience helping enterprise finance teams adopt new payments and treasury technology, most recently at Emburse, Airbase, Coupa, and American Express.

Stablecoins move dollars in seconds, but converting them into pesos, reais, euros, or won still takes days and costs real money. DFNS’s new report breaks down why, and maps who’s building the infrastructure to fix it: payment orchestrators, market makers, and banking consortia moving fast across São Paulo, Hong Kong, London, and beyond. One year after the GENIUS Act, this is where stablecoin FX actually stands.

Recently we shared what Q1 told us about institutional stablecoin adoption. In short, volume was outpacing every other signal in the market, and that gap was widening. Q2 confirms the trend.

AUSD, the enterprise-grade stablecoin issued by Agora, has crossed 10,000 holders on Monad. Agora and Circle are the largest two stablecoin issuers on the network.

Real-time onchain AUSD data and the core authenticated operations, built for both humans and agents.

We are thrilled to welcome Tanya Denisova to Agora! Tanya spent the last 6 years at Robinhood, where she was COO of Robinhood Crypto, scaling operations from three people to a multi-billion dollar business unit.

Agora is beginning the wind down of AUSD issuance on the Injective network, effective April 3, 2026. AUSD on Injective remains redeemable at par through September 28, 2026.

Money is changing. For millenia, we’ve built systems to move value (from shells to coinage to fiat, from tables to databases to APIs). Every era carried similar constraints: differing financial regimes, slow settlement, and intermediaries.

The greatest opportunities lie where systems are broken — moving money is no exception.
