About Stable Pulse

With a focus on clarity and relevance, Stable Pulse breaks down complex topics into accessible, actionable takeaways for anyone building in or exploring the future of finance.

In this episode of Stable Pulse, host Dante Reminick sits down with Avinash Chidambaram, Founder and CEO of Cybrid, to explore why stablecoins represent a fundamental shift in how money moves. While today's payment systems send information instantly, the movement of value still depends on slow settlement, correspondent banks, and legacy infrastructure. Stablecoins change that by moving payment and settlement together on-chain.

Dante and Avinash break down what this means in practice, from B2B supplier payments and cross-border remittances to real-time treasury management, guaranteed FX, and faster access to funds. They also unpack the often-overlooked infrastructure behind enterprise stablecoin payments, including compliance, KYB, transaction monitoring, wallet screening, fraud controls, and banking partnerships that make these systems work at scale.

Finally, they discuss where stablecoin adoption is accelerating, how regulation such as the GENIUS Act is shaping trust in the ecosystem, and why the future of global payments may be powered by stablecoin rails, even if most users never realize it.

In this episode, host Dante Reminick sits down with Adam Zuckerman, Co-Founder & CEO of The Better Money Company, to explore why the future of stablecoins may involve thousands of different digital dollars—and the infrastructure needed to make them function as one seamless financial system. Together, they unpack the market forces driving institutions to launch their own stablecoins, from brand ownership and economics to compliance, regulation, and risk management.

Adam explains why stablecoin interoperability is one of the industry's biggest unsolved challenges, what a true stablecoin clearinghouse would look like, and why "singleness of money" is essential if digital dollars are ever going to achieve fiat-like usability. They also dive into the realities of cross-chain settlement, minting and redemption, compliance controls, first- and last-mile payments, and why many issuers should prioritize real-world adoption over simply growing market cap.

In this episode of Stable Pulse: CEO Beat, host Bam Azizi sits down with Nassim Eddequiouaq, Co-founder & CEO of Bastion, to explore what it really takes to make stablecoins ready for mainstream adoption.

Drawing on his experience at Apple, Anchorage, and Meta's Libra and Novi projects, Nassim explains why trust, security, and regulatory infrastructure matter just as much as blockchain technology. He breaks down the challenges of custody, liability, and enterprise adoption, and why regulated infrastructure is essential for businesses building with stablecoins.

The conversation also explores real-world use cases beyond remittances, including treasury management, cross-border payments, trapped liquidity, and moving money 24/7. Nassim shares why increasing the amount of time value stays onchain, instead of constantly moving back to traditional banking rails, could become one of the industry's most important measures of success.

Money moves at the speed of the slowest rail, and for most businesses, that still means waiting days to get paid. In this episode of What’s Next Beat, host Dante Reminick sits down with Daniel Lev, Founder and CEO of Coinflow, to explore how stablecoin-enabled payment infrastructure can make settlement feel instant while keeping the customer experience as familiar as a traditional dollar balance.

Daniel shares what it was like launching Coinflow during one of crypto’s toughest moments: the same week FTX collapsed, fundraising dried up, and even mentioning stablecoins could make banking conversations more difficult. From there, Dante and Daniel unpack Coinflow’s core model: connecting card networks, bank rails such as ACH, SEPA Instant, and Pix, and crypto networks through a single platform that uses stablecoins as the settlement layer.

The conversation gets into the details that matter most to merchants: how businesses can access funds in seconds even when the underlying payment rail settles later, why liquidity and ledgering are critical, and what Visa’s move toward seven-day stablecoin settlement signals for the future of payments.

In this episode of What’s Next Beat, host Dante Reminick sits down with Anton Mozgovoy, CEO and Co-Founder of Holyheld, to explore one of the most misunderstood parts of payments: what actually happens after your card gets approved.

While a card tap feels instant, the movement of money behind the scenes is anything but. Anton breaks down the complex web of issuers, acquirers, payment networks, compliance providers, and settlement systems that power traditional payments—and explains why stablecoins represent a fundamentally different approach. Instead of simply passing messages between financial institutions, stablecoins can move value in real time, reshaping everything from cross-border transactions and treasury operations to reconciliation and settlement.

Dante and Anton dive into the practical realities of stablecoin spending today, including the challenges that still need to be solved. They discuss merchant acceptance, chargebacks, refunds, fraud protection, and the tradeoffs that come with blockchain-based finality. The conversation also explores why connecting stablecoins to existing card rails may be the fastest path to mainstream adoption, the differences between e-money and stablecoins, and why regulation and global standards will play a critical role in determining how quickly these new payment rails scale.

Looking ahead, Anton shares Holyheld’s vision for AI-powered commerce, where intelligent agents could one day make payments safely and autonomously on behalf of consumers and businesses.

In this episode of CEO Beat, Bam Azizi sits down with Paul Frambot, Co-Founder and CEO of Morpho, to explore how open on-chain credit markets can create more competition, better price discovery, and more efficient access to capital than traditional financial systems.

Paul shares his journey from studying distributed systems in France to founding Morpho while still in university, raising capital at a young age, and building one of the most widely adopted lending protocols in crypto. Along the way, he explains why years spent understanding blockchain technology ultimately led him to finance—and why he now sees financial infrastructure as one of the most important problems to solve.

The conversation dives into how Morpho earned the trust of major institutions, the role of immutable smart contracts and formal verification, and why infrastructure should eliminate the need to trust founders in the first place. Bam and Paul also discuss the challenges of launching a lending marketplace, bootstrapping liquidity, designing incentives, and positioning Morpho as infrastructure for banks, fintechs, and asset managers rather than a bank itself.

Stellar, Surus, and M1X present a special edition of The Stable Pulse, recorded live at Stablecon Salon during New York Fintech Week on April 30, 2026.

What happens when a sovereign nation chooses the blockchain over banks?

In March 2026, the Republic of the Marshall Islands became the first nation to issue sovereign debt natively on a public blockchain. USDM1 is a U.S. dollar-denominated sovereign bond, fully collateralized by U.S. treasuries, with on-chain settlement powered by Stellar. It also serves as the distribution mechanism for a universal basic income paid to citizens of the Marshall Islands.

Principals of the three organizations that built USDM1 sat down for an intimate conversation with Justin Friedman, Head of Policy at Stablecon:

• ​Raja Chakravorti | Chief Business Officer, Stellar Development Foundation
• ​Patrick Murck | Founder & CEO, Surus
• ​Mark Lurie | CEO & Co-Founder, M1X

​Their discussion explores the genesis of USDM1, the potential for institutional adoption and financial inclusion, and what this model unlocks for governments as well as capital markets participants. The panel unpack the key distinction between a “stablecoin” and a “stablebond” such as USDM1, how coupon payments and yield change the economics, how a Brady Bond-style structure brings a legally tested framework into tokenized finance, and what the long-term trend of dollarization means for central banks and independent monetary policy.

Listen in for a spirited discussion about why this experiment could reshape access to capital and redefine trust in sovereign debt.
