  How MoneyGram Is Using Stablecoins to Transform Remittances?

  Sep 25, 202652 min

  With Josh Gordon-Blake of MoneyGram, on how a company with nearly 500,000 retail locations is putting stablecoins to work, and what the future looks like for institutions built on moving money across borders. In this episode, we discuss: • How going private freed MoneyGram to invest on a horizon of decades rather than quarterly results • Why stablecoins already run through the treasury function, replacing billions pre-funded around the world • Why hiring crypto native people onto the dev and treasury side was the move he underestimated the importance of • Why the market does not need 100 or 1,000 different USD backed stablecoins • Why crypto volatility simply does not apply to a company that is not in the trading business • Looking back at Libra, what its mistake was, and whether Meta and others will do what MoneyGram is doing with MG USD

  How Copper's ClearLoop Wants to Be the Future of Collateral Mobility in Digital Assets.

  Sep 3, 202652 min

  With Amar Kuchinad, Group CEO of Copper, on how Copper's Clearloop platform can be the future of collateral mobility for digital assets and automate the reconciliation of margin between counterparties. In this episode, we discuss: How Copper ClearLoop pioneered off-exchange custody. The Lehman weekend, when collateral could only move once a day and never on weekends. Why the biggest win in collateral is not faster settlement but the ability to move on weekends. How smart contracts, oracles and API calls automate what once took 200 people reconciling spreadsheets. Why he believes custody has always been the foundation you build higher-margin businesses on, not a commodity. The term "real world assets" that he hates, and why. Why 20% of crypto conversations make no sense while 80% sound exactly like TradFi.

  Rethinking Self Custody, From Seed Phrases to Kidnapping to Inheritance.

  Aug 20, 202646 min

  With Dmitry Tokarev, Founder of BRON, on why the seed phrase is on its way out and what self custody looks like when institutional-grade security finally reaches everyone. In this episode, we discuss: Why the private key is never assembled in one place, so there is nothing to steal and nothing to keep in cold storage Why security technology follows the same path as GPS, from governments and militaries to institutions to everyone Guardians and approval rules, including requiring sign-off from an accountant or assistant on transactions over a set amount What protects your assets if you are physically threatened or kidnapped The hidden-account feature that lets you pin a balance so it disappears from your own interface Why physical security has quietly become one of the biggest topics in crypto Why no security model can rest on the promise that you will not get hacked, especially against Lazarus and North Korean operations Where DeFi goes next, and why its real value is orchestration and risk management, not just holding assets in smart contracts Why the "boring" problems, like wills and inheritance, are usually the ones that matter most Learn more about BRON https://bit.ly/4wESiO8
