How Payments Will Become Autonomous, Invisible, and Powered by Crypto and AI

from The Future of Money

My interview with Vincent Chok, Founder and CEO of First Digital. In this episode of The Future of Money, we explore how stablecoins are evolving beyond crypto markets and into real-world payments. From AI agents making payments on our behalf, to the role of regulation, compliance, and emerging markets, this conversation looks at what the next 5 to 10 years of payments could actually look like. We discuss: - Where stablecoins are likely to see their biggest real-world use cases - How AI agents could automate payments without human involvement - The biggest bottlenecks holding back agent-to-agent payments today - Why compliance, AML, and identity matter even more in an AI-driven world - How stablecoins could unlock financial access in emerging markets - What going public means for legitimacy in the stablecoin industry - The future of yield, regulation, and the risks the crypto industry may be overlooking Powered  Powered by Phoenix Group The full interview is also available on my YouTube channel: YouTube: https://bit.ly/45oYZJl
