Open-source code ≠ money transmission. The Clarity Act includes a significant win for developers if passed. The bill establishes explicit safe harbors that formally separates writing software code from running a financial business. As a platform that embraces the future of DeFi, we believe in protecting innovators and builders.

Are we moving to an increasingly bifurcated world of those that embrace AI and those that fear it?! Learn more about how the world of wealth is evolving.
We sit down with Bill Barhydt, Founder & CEO of Abra, for a wide-ranging conversation on Bitcoin, AI, AGI, stablecoins, tokenization, longevity, and the future of global finance. Bill shares his perspective on why AI is accelerating faster than most people understand, why crypto could become a key ownership layer for the next era of the internet, and why Bitcoin remains his personal baseline for measuring wealth. We also discuss the late-stage debt cycle, money printing, inflation as a hidden tax on the middle class, the rise of stablecoins, tokenized assets, always-on markets, and what happens to finance if humans start living to 130. A powerful conversation on where money, technology, and society may be heading next.

We are excited to announce a new product integration with Threshold Network to bring tBTC to the Abra platform. Threshold Network has continued to increase integration across various decentralized finance applications and we are excited to bring the asset to the platform to drive added utility for BTC. tBTC is an ERC-20 token (with equivalent standards on other supported chains) issued 1:1 against Bitcoin deposited into a decentralized signer set, as designed by Threshold Network. The underlying Bitcoin is not held by a single or centralized custodian. Instead, it is secured by a randomly selected group of node operators using threshold cryptography; requiring a threshold-majority agreement before any action can be taken on the underlying BTC. Operator selection rotates bi-weekly, protecting against collusion or fraudulent seizure of deposits. Reserves are verifiable on-chain. This is structurally different from federated or single-custodian wrapped Bitcoin models.
