Hi there,

Yesterday's conversation with Malcolm Clarke and Charles Yoo-Naut was exactly the kind of stablecoin discussion I've been wanting to have: skeptic-friendly, use-case-grounded, and genuinely fun. Thank you for joining us!

You can catch the recording here.

The conversation was packed with insights, but here are a few of my favorite moments:

1. The "$33 trillion" stablecoin statistic... isn't what you think it is.
2. The use case that finally made stablecoins click for skeptics.
3. Visa's founder saw this future decades before blockchain existed.
4. How Western Union put stablecoins to work in the real world.
5. The mobile phone analogy that explains where stablecoins go next.

Whether you came in curious, skeptical, or somewhere in between, I hope you left with a clearer picture of where the hype ends and the real opportunities begin.

Thanks again to Malcolm and Charles for bringing the goods, and to Rain for making it happen.

If you want to dig deeper, Rain published a breakdown on stablecoin cards vs. traditional fiat cards that's worth a read.

If today got you thinking, be sure to check out upcoming Fintech Takes events.

Until next time,
