    . @tempo's @liamihorne says companies don’t need to commit to one rewards strategy from day one as one integration lets them evolve as their customers’ needs change.⁣ ⁣ "They are still kind of experimenting the different ways of giving rewards" ⁣ ⁣ "Some of them are just looking for a headline number."⁣ ⁣ "Some of them are very specifically trying to offer, like, a very, very sort of safe product, and maybe they're a little bit more adverse to using crypto backed collateralized lending protocols."⁣ ⁣ "That's one of the reasons why we built Tempo Earn is that because customer needs are still kind of evolving and they're figuring out what their overall strategy is, you can just kind of have one integration."⁣ ⁣ "Over time, as you figure out what you wanna offer or maybe you wanna offer a suite of options to your customers, you can just kind of pick and choose."⁣ ⁣ 🎙 Listen to the latest episode on Tokenizedpod(dot)com

    Chief Product & Operations Office, @SPDJIndices, Cameron drinkwater said tokenized stocks create a price formation problem⁣ ⁣ "The TSVs have to publish their trades, but they don't consolidate into the market consolidated tape. There is no look through trade protection, and the automated market makers on chain can drift quite considerably from the let market price until or unless a trader arbs the price back."⁣ ⁣ "A benchmark is only as good as its integrity in measuring the market that it monitors or that it seeks to represent."⁣ ⁣ "Today, we use the consolidated tape as the gold standard. But as you see this on chain tokenized stock trading grow, there's an open question of how do those trades then feature back into a consolidated tape or not."⁣ ⁣ "What does that mean about the representation of the consolidated tape as representative of the market as a whole."⁣ ⁣ 🎙 Listen to the latest episode on

    Investment Partner, @a16z Frontier, @nlevine19 explains why banks' stablecoin deposit-flight fear is overblown⁣ ⁣ "The concern from banks is that if you can just passively hold USDC on Coinbase and get yield, do we start seeing a significant amount of deposit flight."⁣ ⁣ "We've seen examples historically where there are yield products in the market, things like money market funds, which banks similarly were worried about leading to deposit flight."⁣ ⁣ "Despite things like money market funds existing, deposits have increased."⁣ ⁣ "A lot of the use cases where you're holding stablecoins are related to trading and crypto capital markets, doesn't really align with the core customers of, say, community banks."⁣ ⁣ "I don't think banks should be as worried as maybe they're initially setting out to be, and ultimately it'll blow over over time."⁣ ⁣ Money market funds raised the same fear decades ago, and bank deposits kept climbing regardless.⁣ ⁣ 🎙 Listen to the latest episode on Tokenizedpod(dot)com

    Product & Engineering, @tempo, @liamihorne on why more onchain infrastructure can mean less integration work⁣ ⁣ "If we have these kind of tokenized deposit assets that you can use those as collateral for stablecoins."⁣ ⁣ "I've seen experiments of that with some stablecoin issuers, and it's really, really useful because then you can programmatically distribute out which assets are backing which stablecoin at different times."⁣ ⁣ "It's kind of this ironic thing where actually, the more stuff you put on chain, the less integration work there is on the back end."⁣ ⁣ "So it actually, weirdly, it goes faster if you do more stuff on chain."⁣ ⁣ Putting the collateral itself on chain lets issuers show which assets back which stablecoin at any given moment, removing the manual reconciliation that normally sits behind reserve reporting.⁣ ⁣ 🎙 Listen to the latest episode on Tokenizedpod(dot)com

    Fintech is now ~4% of global financial services revenue and growing 4x faster than incumbents. So what should a bank do about it? Founder at MIT Cryptoeconomics Lab, @ccatalini on Tokenized recently said that banks should disrupt themselves before Fintech does. “I think if I was leading a global bank, I would just embrace it and rather disrupt myself than waiting to be disrupted.” “Right now, customers will want more choice. They will want better products and services. You can be ahead of that game.” “If you look at the music labels, the ones that embraced streaming and understood that the economics of distribution of music were going to zero, and they had to win in a different game.” “The blockbuster late fees in the financial services industry are going away, and we should play by new rules.” 🎙 Listen to the latest episode on Tokenizedpod(dot)com

    BCG: "Global fintech revenues surpassed half a trillion dollars in 2025, growing 22% year over year. That also means fintechs outgrew traditional financial services four-fold and now account for approximately 4% of total global financial services revenue".

    Founder @StrataMedia_, @jacqmelinek on the stablecoin on-ramp off-ramp problem said:⁣ ⁣ "what if we just on ramped and never off ramped?"⁣ ⁣ "You gotta bring fiat in, and then you kinda convert it to stablecoins, and then maybe they convert it back out."⁣ ⁣ "So much of the money that I make is never physical cash. I use my Visa credit card to swipe it, and that's that."⁣ ⁣ 🎙 Listen to the latest episode on Tokenizedpod(dot)com

    Host @sytaylor said that the Stablecoin Power Law Has an Important Exception: ⁣ ⁣ "If I look at Deel contractor payouts, they have DLUSD, and the user at the last mile is living inside that deal wallet just like they live inside a Felix wallet."⁣ ⁣ "When my user is captive in my app and I already have distribution, why would I not keep the yield in that scenario?"⁣ ⁣ "I think there is a viable use case for my own stablecoin where I can capture the yield."⁣ ⁣ "I do agree that if you have an ecosystem, then you make that token very valuable. But that can happen with very few players."⁣ ⁣ Distribution changes the economics. Once a user never leaves the app, the issuer keeps the float yield instead of passing it to a third-party stablecoin.⁣ ⁣ 🎙 Listen to the latest episode on Tokenizedpod(dot)com

    Co-Founder & CEO, @Felixpago, @manueljgodoym on why stablecoin providers still have to work with banks in Latin America⁣ ⁣ "The challenge that we have though is that central countries of Latin America is challenging still. So we still have to go and work with traditional players. Those are the ones that really kind of hold the cards and have the distribution locally."⁣ ⁣ "You don't have as many sort of liquidity providers locally. So it's something that we discussed with both Mastercard and Visa, but also with Circle in terms of how can they support that liquidity given that they have the strong presence there."⁣ ⁣ "Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, they have strong liquidity. Strong kind of stablecoin and crypto activity. But then when you get to Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, liquidity is hard to find, so you do have to play with the traditional players."⁣ ⁣ Strong stablecoin volume in one country does not transfer to the next. Each market's liquidity still runs through whichever local bank or network controls distribution there.⁣ ⁣ 🎙 Listen to the latest episode on Tokenizedpod(dot)com

    Head of Crypto at Visa and host @cuysheffield on why global money moving platforms increasing need stablecoins: ⁣ ⁣ "I think every global money movement platform has to integrate stablecoins in some way, and I think we're seeing that across the board, that it's just becoming a table stakes feature that customers expect."⁣ ⁣ "If you could start with fiat, we'll just use the stablecoin on the back end, convert back into fiat, like that was the use case that was kind of the easiest to get the most skeptical person to say, okay, maybe that'll work."⁣ ⁣ "Now I hear a lot more about either stablecoin in, fiat out, or fiat in, stablecoin out, and in some ways it feels like those are actually easier flows."⁣ ⁣ "What we announced today was stablecoin prefunding, being able to send a stablecoin to Visa for us to pay out in fiat."⁣ ⁣ "Banks say, okay, I wanna be able to reach stablecoin wallets, but I don't wanna deal with the stablecoin, so I'll send you fiat, and then you pay out in the stablecoin."⁣ ⁣ 🎙 Listen to the latest episode on Tokenizedpod(dot)com

    Cofounder @felixpago, @manueljgodoym said they build Felix around users, because users don’t care about crypto rails⁣ ⁣ "They trusted deeply going to physical stores, and they really couldn't care less how the money got to the other side. I always say that it could be a donkey carrying the money to the border."⁣ ⁣ "As a native Venezuelan myself, I witnessed how a centralized government can destroy a currency, you essentially very easily understand the value of crypto."⁣ ⁣ "We extremely value this world in which you have fiat and stablecoin working together because fiat is not going away."⁣ ⁣ "Now seeing all these being live, like this launch of Mastercard and BVNK partnership and platform, it's gonna accelerate the adoption of stablecoins. Users are gonna win. They're gonna see lower fees, faster money movement."⁣ ⁣ Before stablecoin sandwiches existed, Félix built its own fiat and stablecoin rails side by side, splitting trades across both to cut costs and pass the savings to users.⁣ ⁣ 🎙 Listen to the latest episode on Tokenizedpod(dot)com

    Host @sytaylor talked about the single record behind 24/7 markets with co host @cuysheffield and guests @manueljgodoym and @jacqmelinek:⁣ ⁣ "The reason money gets stuck and money slows down and has to close at the weekend is so people can catch up with what the traders were doing and kind of let all of those processes run."⁣ ⁣ "Generally, incumbents start at cost savings, but there's also a bunch of revenue opportunities that come out the other side of it."⁣ ⁣ "Don't underestimate those cost savings and what that can mean and the new products you can build once you've got a single record."⁣ ⁣ "That's what enables all of this twenty four seven stuff we love, and the programmability is you need that single record in the first place."⁣ ⁣ Weekend closures exist to let reconciliation catch up, not because markets need rest. Remove the lag and the closure has no reason to exist.⁣ ⁣ 🎙 Listen to the latest episode on Tokenizedpod(dot)com
