New podcast episode drops featuring @airtminc CEO Ruben Galindo and Kim Mescal-Julian of @BVNKFinance.
Core thesis: Stablecoins created fragmented "islands" rather than solving cross-border payments — but that's shifting.
Topics covered:
• Mass stablecoin adoption barriers
• Why @Mastercard acquired BVNK
• Agentic finance evolution
• @StellarOrg's infrastructure play: 190 markets, five-second settlement, email-based access
Filmed at #Meridian2026 in Lisbon. Full episode available on YouTube and major podcast platforms.
