The Zoth Community Sale whitelist is now open.
We kept building when people told us to stop. We won’t stop until Zoth becomes the largest financial institution in the world, built for the Global South and the new agentic economy.
Zoth stands on three pillars:
zPayments: $55M in monthly TPV, with instant payouts to 172 countries through 200+ bank integrations.
zVaults: $115M+ in strategy AUM, across 2M+ onboarded wallets.
zMAG7: a basket of tokenised stocks launched with @coinbase, which reached 16K holders in just two weeks.
Behind it is a real business. We’ve raised $21.5M across equity and liquidity lines, backed by @Taisu_Ventures, @HashKey_Capital,
@BlockchainFF, @borderless_cap, @MoonrockCapital, @MindfulnessCap and @ivcryptofund.
These aren’t numbers on a roadmap. They’re live infrastructure and real adoption.
Now we want the people who believed in Zoth early to share in what comes next.
Whitelist is live: sale.zoth.io
Sale starts November 16!
A few years ago, a stablecoin neobank on the Fintech 100 would have sounded unlikely.
Banking is slow, costly and closed to most of the world. We’re rebuilding it on @base with @coinbase.
Zoth ranks among the world’s 100 most promising fintechs, and is one of six Middle East startups on @CBInsights’ 2026 list.
One full stack neobank for payments, yield, and now equities. The latest addition, zMAG7, Zoth’s Magnificent 7 basket, crossed 20,000 holders in 2 weeks on @coinbase Tokenized Stocks, built on @base.
Full Report : cbinsights.com/research/repo…
Building on @Base, and this is just the start.
With Zoth’s zMAG7, the world’s biggest stocks go onchain: the Magnificent 7 as one tokenised exposure, native to Base.

Most community sales pay you back in more of their own token.
@zothdotio is doing this differently.
Join their community sale and the cashback comes in zMAG7, an onchain basket of Apple, Nvidia, Tesla, Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Meta. Equal weighted, backed by real shares, built on Coinbase tokenized stocks.
That's the part I like. Real companies sitting onchain, not just another coin.
Their whitelist just opened. You get verified, grab a referral link, and you're in. If you're in the US, the cashback comes as points instead of zMAG7.
Would you rather get cashback in a project's token or in actual stocks?
Took family out to watch @Ramayana_Intl. It felt so nostalgic to see our ancient stories being retold on such a giant scale.
It was just mesmerizing #RamayanaMovie

A few months back, Mashal and I sat down with Junaid Akram, a prominent Pakistani YouTuber, to talk about blockchain and digital assets. We even did parts of the interview in Urdu.
But this post is about the shirt I wore.
Anyone who knows me knows how much being a New Yorker means to me. In some ways, I feel like a New Yorker before I feel like an American. If you’re from New York, you probably understand.
So wearing my “Mamdanistan” tee on that platform was intentional.
When Zohran Mamdani won last year, I felt a sense of hope that reached well beyond New York. I believe that hope helped build the momentum we saw in yesterday’s elections. It certainly stayed with me.
I’m the child of immigrants who came to this country looking for a better future. My parents achieved the American Dream, and I’ve spent my life benefiting from the opportunities their courage and this country gave me.
I want that same possibility to remain real for the people who come after us.
That’s what this hope means to me. And yesterday’s results strengthened my belief in the future of a country I love deeply.
Proud New Yorker. Proud child of immigrants. And still convinced the United States is the best country in the world.
Always inspiring @azeemk

I have a firm belief that the best days of India are still yet to come.
After 150 years of foreign rule finally India & Indians have a leadership which has a spine to push back .
To put things in perspective 496 million humans is 2X of entire United States.
India saw about 496 million people lifted out of poverty between 2011 and 2023 in one of the world’s fastest declines in this metric, the World Bank said, although the gains remain uneven. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
It takes the vision of one man @himantabiswa love u mama. You are making us proud.
Guwahati–Delhi in under 8 hours? Yes!
The extension of the Northern bullet train corridor to Guwahati is a pivotal moment for East India.
My heartfelt gratitude to Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji and Hon’ble Railway Minister Shri @AshwiniVaishnaw Ji.
The corridor was initially meant to end at Siliguri. After my written request and meeting with Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw Ji in July, he saw merit in our proposal and approved its extension into the North East.
This is what a government that listens and delivers looks like.
As Assam prepares for a new wave of high-tech industries, fast, affordable flight like connectivity to Delhi and two state capitals will open up enormous opportunities for businesses and livelihoods.
A bullet train to Assam once seemed so far-fetched that it never even became a public demand. Today, what we scarcely dared to dream is becoming reality.
Isiliye, Modi kahin nahi jayega!
Have a great day!
ALT My letter to Ashwini ji

The decisions I don't delegate
Not every decision deserves a founder's involvement. But some can't be undone.
At @zothdotio, getting custody wrong, onboarding the wrong counterparty, or underwriting a flow we don't fully understand isn't a mistake we can roll back. Someone's capital is already at stake.
That's why I believe founders should delegate based on reversibility, not importance.
Pricing, positioning, and product decisions? My team often makes them better than I do. My involvement can slow things down without improving the outcome.
Some decisions carry consequences beyond the business itself. How we manage risk, safeguard assets, and communicate yield expectations are decisions I believe deserve my direct attention.
The same applies to criticism. Dismissing every critic as noise is dangerous when you're responsible for people's capital. Sometimes, criticism is a warning long before it becomes an incident.
My rule is simple: be firm on risk, custody, and disclosure. Stay flexible on almost everything else.
The best founders aren't those who never change their minds. They're the ones who know exactly which opinions they should change and which they can't afford to.
Founders rarely talk about what went wrong while it’s still fresh. That’s what made the “Real Startup Disasters” panel at Founders Connect worth being part of.
I shared the stage with two founders who had their own near-misses to tell. A few things from my side of the conversation are worth writing down.
Budgets break. We recently planned an investment in a licensed company in Canada, and the cost doubled, largely on legal fees. Most founders I know get budgeting wrong, so we now plan for contingencies beyond what we expect to need. Cash flow and runway should be numbers every founder knows by heart. Most startups that fail simply run out of cash.
Hiring needs two kinds of people. We think in terms of missionaries, generalists deeply aligned with the mission who tend to stay long-term, and mercenaries, specialists who come in to do a specific job and may or may not stay. Both are valuable when you’re clear about which one you’re hiring.
Something will always go wrong. As a solo founder, I’ve found it helps to focus only on what I can control. If a raise is slow, go after more leads. If a customer stalls, find more customers. And I start the day with exercise: one hard thing done before the world wakes up.
None of this makes the hard days disappear. It makes them easier to get through.
What’s one habit that has kept you steady through a rough patch?
In my conversations with @torabyou family is the real strength.
