People often put stablecoins and crypto assets (like Bitcoin) in the same bucket. In reality, they are distinct products solving a different problems. Bitcoin behaves more like an asset. Stablecoins behave like cash that moves at internet speeds. Most of the interesting payments work in fintech right now is... show more

Expanding into new markets for fintech companies like neobanks and remittance apps traditionally meant months of work and millions in costs. And that's before they process a single transaction. Stablecoin rails backed by regulated infrastructure can potentially cut that timeline from years to weeks while lowering basis points. Sami Start and Andy Werner discussed this in a recent sit-down with Blockster at Consensus 2026, Miami. Want stablecoins to power up your payments? Talk to us 👉🏻

'Nobody wakes up wanting to use a crypto application.' That's Sami Start at Consensus 2026 in Miami talking to Blockster, and it cuts to the core of what's changing. Blockchain and stablecoins are backend infrastructure. Not consumer products or a lifestyle brand. Want stablecoins to power up your payments? Talk to us ->

Crypto is not a threat to the dollar. In fact, stablecoins can reinforce dollar supremacy. Digital assets are one of the most important phenomena in the world right now, yet they have been ignored by national governments for far too long. This administration is committed to establishing the United States as a hub for digital asset innovation, and the GENIUS Act moves us one step closer to that goal.

🎙 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 🌍

Stablecoins are quietly transforming how money moves — faster, cheaper, and more globally than ever before. In this episode, we take a deep look at why stablecoins have emerged as one of the most promising applications in crypto today — and how they could reshape global payments. is joined by Chris Dixon, founder and managing partner of a16z crypto, and Sam Broner, a deal partner at a16z crypto who focuses on stablecoins. Together, they unpack the technical and regulatory foundations of stablecoins, explore the cracks in the current payments system, and look ahead to what becomes possible once digital dollars go mainstream. We also dig into the current state of regulation — and why the future of money might end up looking a lot more like email or the web than a bank. The full episode can also be found here:

Uber CEO: Bitcoin is a "proven" store of value and stablecoins are "promising" for global transactions. Read between the lines: CEOs have gotten the memo that Bitcoin for transactions is not kosher. In reality BTC network could easily move fiat without stablecoins. The narrative is: limit BTC to SOV and promote stablecoins to prop up the US treasuries.

Bitcoin is money AND digital gold. The two are not mutually exclusive. For Michael Saylor - it's the purest form of digital credit. For David Marcus - it's the payment rails of the future. "No one cares what humans think about how people need to Bitcoin because it's an unopinionated, code-based money platform." The Lightspark founder is forging ahead with building Bitcoin-based payment rails, while Saylor and Strategy are doubling down on Bitcoin-backed financial products. "I'm really grateful that Michael is really focused on the store of value use case, and he can do that, and I can be the one focused on bringing utility to Bitcoin. Both things will actually help one another to make Bitcoin more relevant to many more people and that's the beauty of building on an open network," Marcus told Robert Baggs and me on our latest Chain Reaction show. Marcus has been keenly focused on abstracting complexity away from payments using Bitcoin payments infrastructure with the launch of Lightspark Grid. "It's like Bitcoin as a network being used to move all kinds of other money, whether it's stablecoin or fiat at the edges, and you don't even understand that you're using Bitcoin. For instance, if you're a SoFi client in the US, and you want to send money to Europe or India, Brazil or Mexico, you send dollars and the other person on the other side receives Mexican peso, you have no clue you're using Bitcoin. And it's like magical TCP/IP for money between payment systems in the world." Bitcoin infrastructure works. Like most widely adopted technologies, the average person has no idea what's going on under the hood. That is the future that takes Bitcoin global. And it's being built in real-time.

We asked Thomas (Tom) Lee (not drummer) FSInsight.com (Chief Investment Officer of Fundstrat Capital) to explain the strategic decision for $BMNR to focus on Ethereum due to its role in stablecoins. "Stablecoins are the ChatGPT of Fintech." "They provide a logarithmic benefit over traditional systems." "Stablecoins is a $250B market, and Secretary Bessent said it could grow to $2T." "Large companies will need to secure the Layer 1 (what stablecoins transact on) that they're operating on." "We're kind of like the plumbing of what banks will look like in the future because they will be staking Ethereum on their balance sheet of crypto in order to fund and operate their stablecoin."

Matthew Kratter of Bitcoin University on being self sovereign with Bitcoin: "The Michael Saylor followers right now who think that they're somehow Bitcoiners when they own a preferred stock that sits in their brokerage account and can be censored at any time... There's operational risks with that and there's leverage risks. And the actual Bitcoin that secures the assets of the balance sheet of the company is sitting at various custodians." "Having things in centralized places, having Bitcoin IOUs or anything like this is a big mistake." "If you don't know how to move Bitcoin around, if you don't know how to send it on-chain... you're going to be dependent on larger services. And the risk is that those don't even have the Bitcoin that they say that they do."

The Economist says the stablecoin market is "fizzling." We asked Bridge co-founder Zach Abrams his response: "Our business grew 4x last year. Our business continues to grow enormously. We grew 20% over the last month alone. So, we certainly don't see stablecoins slowing down." "Stablecoin transaction volume is growing enormously. We see that the number of folks building with stablecoins is growing enormously." "We have folks from a bunch of banks who are leaning into stablecoins. Pretty much every fintech that you could think of that is meaningful is doing something with stablecoins (and probably doing it with us)." "Yesterday we announced with Meta that we're paying out folks in stablecoins." "So I do think that the hyperbole around stablecoins is dying down a little bit. And that creates the opportunity for some of this FUD." "For a long time people were pointing at every problem and being like, 'Crypto solves this.' And now they're no longer pointing at every problem and saying, 'Crypto solves this.' But very quietly, under the hood, it is solving a number of problems."

“I'm not a huge hater of the institutions. I wasn't a huge hater of altcoins. These institutional products are just kind of altcoins. People can go make their money. Go do your thing. But it's not Bitcoin. An ETF is not Bitcoin. With these centralized projects, you're not getting the core values of Bitcoin, the control, the censorship resistance, the privacy. You're putting it in a centralized wrapper, and if you put Bitcoin in a centralized wrapper, you lose everything that's good about it. It's not Bitcoin. It's just an affinity marketing thing. It's “Hey, you like Bitcoin, go buy my other project." Just like, "Hey you like bitcoin? Go buy my altcoin." It's not the same thing, and I think in many ways it's a step backwards. I don't hate these people, but they certainly shouldn't be celebrated. It's not forwarding our industry if we do treasury strategies, if we do ETFs, we cheer for BlackRock and Cantor. That's a step backwards. It's not something to be cheerful for. It's not a victory, in my opinion. A victory is having more people have direct ownership of real Bitcoin. We now have millions of people who've been onboarded into this fake paper thing that's a claim on a claim on a claim of something that has Bitcoin in the words, but it's not actually Bitcoin. They are never actually holding a wallet like many of us did back in 2012 where somebody sent us that first dollar and you say, "Wow, this is cool. I didn't need to give my ID and I'm able to control and hold this sound money for the first time." You now have a whole generation of millions of people that don't have that. They have some junk fiat product sitting like sludge on their centralized brokerage account at the centralized clearing firm, traded on a centralized exchange, with a centralized transfer agent, and a centralized custodian, and they have to trust six levels of people on a claim for something that has the word ‘Bitcoin’ in it. It's not a victory. It's not a step forward. I don't think it's something that should be celebrated at all.”

🚨BITCOIN RESERVE SNAG IS NOT THE STORY🚨 The story is that crypto is now being structured at the highest level of the U.S. government. Trump’s order already created a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a separate Digital Asset Stockpile. Now the debate is where it legally sits, Treasury or Commerce, and how America manages seized digital assets long term. That is not the same as walking away. That is the government learning how to hold crypto as national infrastructure. Now add CLARITY moving through Congress, and the picture gets bigger for $XRP, $XLM, $HBAR and other digital assets made in America Bitcoin is the reserve signal. Utility assets are the working rails: settlement, payments, tokenization and enterprise networks. This is the moment most people misread. They see legal friction and panic. I see the U.S. trying to build the rulebook before the next financial system scales.

"Sentiment about crypto is close to an all-time low. At the same time that the fundamentals are very clearly at an all-time high." on the gap: "We have some amount of regulatory clarity in the form of the GENIUS bill. We are now at something like $200-300 billion of circulating supply of stablecoins, more than a trillion dollars a month of volume. Many large financial institutions entering the space in a way that is unprecedented." Ollie Forsyth

"The biggest cuck mentality is 'oh, if Saylor didn't exist, we'd be at $40,000.' I don't think that's necessarily true." "How many people invested in something like MSTR that would have bought Bitcoin otherwise? Saylor holds the Bitcoin, and they hold the stock that's down 80%. I think that number is probably 600,000 of the 800,000 Bitcoin."

Yellow Card launched in Nigeria in 2019 as a Bitcoin exchange. Within 4 months of listing USDT, 99% of their volume shifted to stablecoins. That's when they realized: people don't want crypto. They want dollars that actually work. What Chris learned building payment rails across 16 countries in Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America: 0:07 - "If you can make it in Lagos, Nigeria, you can make it anywhere" 6:01 - The Taco Bell origin: selling Bitcoin at 7 college campuses 11:11 - COVID pivot: $1M/month to $1M/day overnight 19:54 - The stablecoin shift: 99% of volume moved to USDT in 4 months 21:27 - The realization: customers want payments, not crypto investment 31:19 - Why companies are finally reaching out post-election 31:41 - "Stablecoins are easy. Fiat, you have to get permission" 33:31 - Why they need 6+ banks in some countries for one payment 35:15 - "Nigeria and Botswana have as much in common as Italy and China" 44:39 - Why most corporates are buying the wrong infrastructure The land grab is on. Most providers are selling crypto infrastructure. What enterprises actually need are payment rails that work in markets where traditional banking fails.

We asked Bridget (Associate Founders Fund) about stablecoins and their role in crypto: "Stablecoins are definitely the main character right now. There is a new announcement every day." "Stablecoins have found the most product-market fit, and it's a tokenized US dollar." "It's ironic because the original investment of crypto was to rebuild the financial system, and now we just have the tokenized US dollar."
