The community, ever the anxious scribe, scribbles theories in the margins of its collective ledger.

Because why wouldn’t you want some syrup with your stablecoins, right? 🥞

And behold! On October 21, the press cried out, “Tether’s investing in Nairobi!” -like a city mugged by a giant who now whispers promises of prosperity. The masterstroke?
