Few people can say ‘unique opportunity’ and mean it. But the chance for a law professor to team up with the world’s leading crypto researchers and engineers can safely be described just as that. Thanks @FEhrsam @matthuang and the entire @paradigm team. https://www.paradigm.xyz/2021/12/joining-paradigm-10/

Square Crypto is now Spiral. Since our formation, the spiral emoji has been a part of our brand lore, and given the opportunity to rebrand to CoinSomething or BitWhatever, we went a different way. Spiral looks and sounds cool. What other reason do we need? https://spiral.xyz/blog/we-were-square-crypto-now-were-spiral/

We’re changing our company name so we can give the full @Square brand to our Seller business. So now we need a name to tie @Square, @CashApp, @TIDAL, and @TBD54566975 together into one. That name is “Block.” Why?
