🎙 Episode 1 Is Live: Visa x WeFi This is a major milestone for us. Our first official podcast with Visa is now live, and we’re opening with one of the most important conversations in modern finance: stablecoins and the convergence of traditional payments and crypto. The conversation features Alexandra Soroko, Growth Product & Partnerships at Visa, and Michael Batuev, Head of Global Payments at WeFi. 👉 This episode goes beyond surface level commentary. We explore how Visa views stablecoins not as a passing trend, but as infrastructure. While they still represent less than 1 percent of global money flows, their efficiency, speed, and programmability position them as a powerful new layer in how money moves globally. Visa has been observing and building in crypto since 2018. Innovation at that scale requires navigating regulation, technology, and multiple geographies. But when they integrate something new, it connects to a network of more than 150 million merchants worldwide. That scale turns innovation into real world access. A key theme in the discussion is convergence. Fintech companies like WeFi move fast, design around users, and ship quickly. Global payment networks bring distribution, resilience, and trust. The future is not about replacement. It is about combining strengths. Will stablecoins replace fiat? Unlikely. The strongest innovations coexist and enhance what already exists. Stablecoins can evolve into a powerful financial rail while remaining connected to established payment systems, making them usable in everyday life. At WeFi, we are at the forefront of this movement. By working within established infrastructure like Visa and building products designed around real user needs, we are helping bring stablecoins from theory into practical, global utility. Digital assets are no longer on the fringe. They are entering the core of global finance. Episode 1 is just the beginning. Watch now and be part of the conversation shaping the next chapter of payments 🌍

In this talk, Robert Hackett (Robert Hackett) sits down with Sean Neville (Sean Neville), cofounder of Circle and co-creator of the USDC stablecoin, and Zach Abrams (Zach Abrams), founder of Bridge (now part of Stripe), for a deep dive into the real story behind stablecoins, finding product-market fit, and the future of payments infrastructure. They explore the earliest days of USDC — when stablecoins were far from obvious and regulatory frameworks didn’t exist. Sean shares how his conviction in “money running at internet speed” helped shape a multibillion-dollar asset. Zach recounts Bridge’s pivot from NFTs to stablecoin infrastructure — and how his business has changed since joining Stripe. Together, they break down: - Why stablecoins are having their moment now - What counts as product-market fit (and why founders rarely “feel” it) - The challenges of building crypto and AI products within heavily regulated environments - Why new base-layer chains like Arc, Tempo, and others may be needed - How decentralization, liquidity moats, and interoperability will define the next decade of blockchain adoption - What the future of programmable money and AI-driven financial workflows looks like Whether you’re a founder, a crypto-curious builder, or someone trying to understand where global payments are headed, this conversation — originally recorded live at our recent a16z crypto Founders Summit — offers insights from two operators at the center of an industry-defining transformation. Here's a snippet from the conversation.
