Great conversation, @sytaylor and @bamazizimesh. Thanks for having me! ๐ฅ
It used to cost $20 to place a stock trade. Then programmatic trading made it nearly free.
@PeteCooling thinks payments are next: high-frequency payments, driven by agents.

Enterprises building stablecoin programs at the scale of Samsung Wallet and Sony Bank need more than infrastructure.
With millions of users and products spanning multiple markets, they need a partner who can help them shape, build, and launch a stablecoin program tailored to their business while meeting the security, compliance, and regulatory requirements of operating at their scale.
Our CEO @nassyweazy joined @sytaylor on @TokenizedPod to talk about our approach to enterprise-grade infrastructure and why the worldโs largest companies choose Bastion as their stablecoin partner.

How do you pay out pesos in Mexico without keeping pesos in a Mexican bank account?
On @TokenizedPod, @cuysheffield put that question to @manueljgodoym of @Felixpago.
Wise-style remittance models fund local accounts in every corridor ahead of time.
Fรฉlix sends USDC and buys pesos in a 24/7 market when the payout happens, at an FX rate Manuel says comes close to interbank.
Cuy names the trade-off: no capital sits idle in each country, but you need a liquidity partner on the receiving side.
Getting paid in stablecoins shouldnโt put your finances on public display.
Deelโs stablecoin wallet uses Tempo Zones for private contractor balances and payments.
โThey can transact in and out of the Zone fully privately and confidentiallyโ

Stablecoins arenโt a threat to banks.
If stablecoins grow without banks, deposits migrate and the client relationship goes with them.
But every stablecoin still runs on banking.
@FifthThird's take: โReserves have to sit somewhere, redemptions have to clear somewhere, and the issuers need to operate and settle.โ
Thatโs fees and deposits for whichever banks show up to the party.
Stablecoins are only a threat to banks who don't adopt them.

Igor Istratov on why businesses care about payment speed, not stablecoins
"It's both at the same time, Simon. If you think about your example about mid-sized manufacturing in Ohio, they sent payments to suppliers in Asia. Let's say Thailand. Thailand is a big corridor for the cross-border payments."
"And they face a lot of friction today. They send a wire. It moves through correspondent banks. It's somewhere in the chain, they face a cutoff time or a weekend. And then days later, they get the confirmation receipt, maybe. And that also comes with the FX movement that can come out on top with uncertainty about the fees, how you charge on the FX side."
"And nobody can say exactly where the money movement is happening right now. So stablecoin settlement component helps to solve that. It gives you that near real-time movement. Knowing value of the time of the transaction and real traceability where you can see how payment is moving and settling in real time."
"And I think in that example, a lot of our clients, they really don't care that it's a stablecoin. They care that the money arrives today and they want to know the cost of it in real time.
