I’ll be at #Meridian2026 in Lisbon 🇵🇹 Looking to bring @StellarOrg and @BVNKFinance products into the FinDech ecosystem. Anyone else heading to Meridian? Let’s connect.

Just back from the Stablecoin Conference in Mexico City. Skipping the “amazing event” post, here’s what actually stuck: LATAM is a completely different market from Europe. Different needs, way simpler regulation, and stablecoins here aren’t speculative. They fill a gap people feel every day. The thing you stop noticing living in Europe: payments just work. Instant, often free, any bank to any bank. Europe quietly nailed this years ago. LATAM hasn’t. Some countries you can’t even hold USD in a bank account. So stablecoins here fill a gap people feel every day: – Store of value – Remittances – USD accounts – Cross-border payments Stablecoins literally the #1 most purchased crypto in LatAm last year, 40%, ahead of Bitcoin, as per @Bitso So it’s already changing what we build at @FinDech_. We’re adding one stablecoin: @USDC first, to fiat corridor: spend + on-ramp. Not the European model of multiple currency accounts. One clean rail that fits how the region actually moves money. Also the stuff you only get on the ground: how much still runs on cash, and how physical cards aren’t optional. Half the time you literally have to tap the card. That’s on our roadmap now too. Best part, didn’t just come to observe. Left with the right connections on the ground to launch in LATAM this year.

In Mexico City 🇲🇽 next week for the #StablecoinConference and I'm hyped. This is the room to be in right now. At @FinDech_ stablecoins aren't an add-on - they're how we go global from day one. If you're there, let's meet.
