How this fits the existing thesis

Parent thesis: Mastercard and Visa are aggressively embedding stablecoin settlement into their core infrastructure, enabling 24/7 intraday settlement across nights, weekends, and holidays using USDC, PYUSD, RLUSD, and other regulated stablecoins across multiple blockchains. PayPal is simultaneously powering AI-driven agentic commerce apps that route payments through its stablecoin rails. This convergence of traditional payment networks with on-chain settlement represents a structural upgrade to the global payments stack, not a disruption of it — incumbents are absorbing the innovation. Rising transaction volumes and stablecoin traction challenge the narrative that crypto will disintermediate card networks.
