I may have misunderstood the announcement. I thought it was people in these countries would now be able to find Strike in their app store on Google or iOS and be able to create Strike accounts.

I think you’re supposed to be able to click the “Send Globally” button and those countries should show up just like the current handful in there now where you can send USD over Lightning to a phone # and it gets received in local currency in an account tied to the phone #. I recall even seeing those countries names in the app demo video at the conference. But maybe that’s coming later 🤷♂️.
