Sling Money Launches US and European Virtual Accounts in Partnership with Bridge to Expand Global Earning Power
Sling Money users around the world can now access a US account and routing number or a European IBAN, meaning they can get paid like a local in both USD and EUR, directly into their Sling Wallet. USD accounts leverage ACH and wire rails, while EUR accounts operate over SEPA — including SEPA Credit and SEPA Instant — to ensure fast, reliable deposits.
Bridge automatically converts incoming payments into USDP (Pax Dollar) or EURC (Euro Coin) and transfers them into the user's Sling Wallet. From there, users can choose to hold incoming payments as stablecoins within the app, withdraw them as stablecoins — including USDC, USDP, and EURC — or convert them into local currencies for a negligible fee via Sling Money's extensive network of instant payment partners.
This feature unlocks a new level of utility for freelancers, remote workers, global nomads, creators, students studying abroad, and cross-border families who previously relied on slow, fee-laden intermediaries to receive international payments. With Virtual Accounts, users can now receive wages, payouts, reimbursements, or transfers natively.
'This is one of the first times a consumer wallet has made it possible for users worldwide to receive payments from the US and Europe using local account details, instantly tokenize those funds into stablecoins, and then move or spend that money globally — all within a single app,' said Mike Hudack, co-founder and CEO of Avian Labs, Sling Money's parent company. 'Sending money is only half the equation for an inclusive global financial system. Now, we're making it just as easy to get paid.'
The access to both real-time, low-fee transfers and Virtual Accounts makes Sling Money a complete solution for modern global earners. For senders, paying into a Sling Money account feels just like making a regular deposit.
Since its launch, Sling Money has expanded its global footprint across the U.S., Europe, Africa, and beyond, enabling users to send, receive, and convert funds in seconds using stablecoin technology and fiat integration. Recently, Sling Money also secured its Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCA) license and introduced EURC (Circle's euro-backed stablecoin), a testament to its compliance and growth in Europe.

NYC's Iconic Bubble House Hits the Market After 50 Years
Summary The Bubble House, a rare architectural gem on theUpper East Side, is officiallyon the marketfor the first time in over five decades. Originally a 19th-century brownstone, the residence was radically reimagined in 1969 by architect Maurice Medcalfe of Hills & Medcalfe. His renovation introduced a smooth stucco façade punctuated by twelve convex oval windows — a sculptural reinterpretation of the bay window that earned the home its nickname. These distinctive apertures remain its most iconic feature, flooding the interiors with natural light and lending the building a distinctly Space Age character. Located on a quiet, tree-lined block in Lenox Hill, the Bubble House stands in stark contrast to its traditional neighbors. Its presence among brick and limestone townhouses is a deliberate interruption — one that has intrigued passersby for decades. Spanning approximately 4,736 square feet across four stories and a basement, the home retains its mid-century layout with four bedrooms, five bathrooms and a garden-level office. While the interiors are modest compared to the façade, they feature recessed lighting, streamlined mantels and white carpeting — elements that reflect the era of its transformation. Listed at $5.75 million USD through Leslie Garfield, the Bubble House enters the market for the first time in five decades. Take a look around the property in the gallery above and head over to the realtor'swebsitefor more information.
