I’ve been digging into how payment architecture shapes merchant risk and capital efficiency. I wrote a neutral comparison of PayPal and Stripe’s custodial model versus a self-hosted stablecoin payments approach, focusing on ownership vs gatekeeping, settlement finality, and cross-border constraints.
There are two identical publications for accessibility across communities:
• Paragraph (formerly Mirror): https://paragraph.com/@

• Paragraph: https://paragraph.com/@

Interested to see how others think about where custody and compliance should live as payments move on-chain.
