In episode 14 of Money Code, hosts Chuk Okpolugo and Raj Parekh are joined by José Fernández Da Ponte, President and Chief Growth Officer at the Stellar Development Foundation.

They unpack why stablecoins are first transforming treasury and capital markets rather than consumer payments, what drives institutional adoption, and why non-USD stablecoins are critical to global trade infrastructure.
