Episode notes
Payments Are Shifting To Tokenized Cash
- Visa and Swift moving into stablecoins and blockchain show payments are shifting to tokenized cash equivalents.
- This signals incumbent payment rails will face pressure to modernize or become obsolete.
XRP Token Isn’t Fit For Payments
- XRP as a volatile token is ill-suited to be a global payments medium compared with stablecoins.
- The ledger can matter, but unpegged tokens add unnecessary volatility for payments.
Stablecoin Infrastructure Will Be Commoditized
- Stablecoin infrastructure will become commoditized and issuers can move chains if costs rise.
- Chain choice matters less to end users than fees, velocity, and issuer economics.
