Emerging Stronger from Crypto Winter Part 1
summary
Claim: the current downturn weeds out speculators and raises the ratio of builders, producing higher-quality Stellar Community Fund submissions and more focused technical work. Evidence: a new runtime, Soroban launch, surfaces concrete developer tradeoffs (serialization overhead removed) and targets early adopters. Outcome: a live integration, MoneyGram on‑ramps, proves cash-to-wallet rails plus compliance tracing, and regulators increasingly engage with real use cases rather than hype, making rules-of-the-road likely to speed practical adoption.
