Is crypto becoming banking, or is banking quietly becoming crypto?

In this episode of Money Rewired, Georgy Sokolov, Co-founder at Wirex, joins Murat Prokopov, Strategic Partnerships Executive at CoinsPaid, to explore how one of the longest-standing crypto fintech companies is navigating the convergence of traditional finance, stablecoins, digital payments, AI, and banking infrastructure.

As stablecoins move beyond trading and speculation into real-world payments, financial institutions face a new reality. Crypto is no longer just an alternative financial system. It is increasingly becoming part of the infrastructure that powers modern finance itself.

From crypto cards and yield products to non-custodial payments, stablecoin settlement, and AI agents, Wirex sits in a unique position between traditional banking and crypto. The company has spent years being viewed as too crypto for banks and too bank-like for crypto natives — and that position offers a rare perspective on where financial services are heading next.

Rather than asking whether crypto will replace banks, this episode explores a more important question: what happens when the distinction between them starts to disappear?
