Deel’s Thierry Edde on stablecoin payroll and privacy
from Stable Takes Hosted by Tempo - A purpose-built blockchain for stablecoin financial products.
Thierry Edde, Head of Crypto at Deel, joins Dan Romero for Stable Takes’ first guest interview. Deel shipped its first stablecoin product three years ago, built to solve a specific problem: contractors in Latin America did not want local real-time payment rails, they wanted US dollars, and Swift was the only obvious path. Thierry walks through how Deel scaled that to millions in monthly volume and what led to the in-app wallet launched in June. Thierry also explains why privacy was non-negotiable for a payroll company, how Deel became the first in production on Tempo Zones. Then Simon Taylor and Dan cover JPMorgan blocking outside AI agents from customer accounts, the agent identity problem nobody has solved, and the Mastercard and BVNK global money platform that puts stablecoins and fiat behind one API. Stable Takes is a weekly mini-podcast from Tempo on stablecoins, tokenization and agentic payments.
