Stable Pulse

Host Bam Azizi sits down with Henry Stern, co-founder of Privy, to unpack one of crypto’s biggest adoption problems: onboarding that still feels far too hard for everyday users. They explore why the assumption that users should “want crypto” is flawed, and how embedded wallets, seamless authentication, and invisible blockchain rails are changing the way products get built.From Henry’s founder journey and the lessons behind building Privy, the conversation expands into where the market is heading now — stablecoins driving real usage, enterprises entering with practical use cases, regulatory momentum around the GENIUS Act, and what changed after Privy became part of Stripe. They also dive into the future of digital asset accounts, agentic wallets, AI-driven security, and the bigger question facing the industry: should crypto stay visible to users, or disappear completely into the background?Connect with the Hosts & GuestBam Azizi: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bam-azizi-54117310a/Henri Stern: https://www.linkedin.com/in/henri-stern/About Stable PulseStable Pulse is a fast-paced, news-driven podcast covering the most important developments shaping the stablecoin and digital asset ecosystem.

On this episode of Stable Pulse, host Dante Reminick is joined by Brigitta Gyoerfi, Zurich Hub Director at Tenity, a global innovation powerhouse working with more than 65 financial institutions and over 1,600 startups across Europe and Asia to help shape the future of finance. Together, they dig into why stablecoins have suddenly gone from a niche crypto talking point to one of the most serious infrastructure conversations happening inside banks, fintechs, and payment companies today.From the very real pain of slow and expensive cross-border payments to the promise of programmable money, Brigitta explains where institutions are seeing immediate opportunity, where they are still hesitant, and why everyone keeps running into the same frustrating issue: legacy banking systems that were never built for this kind of innovation. Dante and Brigitta also get into compliant on-chain yield, tokenized finance, the race to build better institutional rails, and why the next chapter of stablecoin adoption will be won not by the flashiest crypto products, but by the teams solving the boring last-mile plumbing that actually makes money move.Subscribe to Stable Pulse for more conversations on the future of stablecoins, payments infrastructure, and what’s next in fintech.Connect with the Hosts & GuestDante Reminik: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dante-reminick / https://x.com/DanteReminickBrigitta Gyoerfi: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brigittagyoerfi/About Stable PulseStable Pulse is a fast-paced, news-driven podcast covering the most important developments shaping the stablecoin and digital asset ecosystem.

In the first episode of the What’s Next beat for Stable Pulse, host Dante Reminick sits down with Dan Mottice and Dimitri Dadiomov of Modern Treasury to break down where stablecoins actually fit in today’s payment stack. From cross border friction and delayed settlement to the persistence of legacy systems, they explore why ACH, wires, and cards are not going anywhere and how stablecoins function as an additional rail rather than a full replacement.They also unpack the “stablecoin sandwich” model, moving from fiat to on chain and back to fiat, and what that means for real world global payments. The conversation covers orchestration across rails, compliance considerations, and how treasury teams can start thinking about practical adoption today.Subscribe to Stable Pulse for more conversations on the future of stablecoins, payments infrastructure, and what’s next in fintech.Connect with the Hosts & GuestDante Reminik: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dante-reminick / https://x.com/DanteReminickDimitri Dadiomov: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dadiomov/ / https://x.com/dadiomovDan Mottice: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-mottice/ / https://x.com/motticeAbout Stable PulseStable Pulse is a fast-paced, news-driven podcast covering the most important developments shaping the stablecoin and digital asset ecosystem.
