    Episode 278 - From Prefunding to Flow: Rethinking Global Settlement, with Mouloukou Sanoh, MANSA

    Episode 276 - Fanning the Flames - Stablecoin Economics

    The three major takeaways from stablecoins are that they are fast, global, and low cost. But why are they low cost? Thus began our quest to dive into the economic ecosystem of stablecoins. When creating material for our workshops or roundtable meetings, we're always thinking about how to give slides the "Glenbrook treatment" - how do we get past the headlines and down to fundamentals? In this Fanning the Flames episode, Russ Jones and Yvette Bohanan take you behind the scenes to show the "making of" our new stablecoin economics slide. Listen in as they discuss the points of monetization and key revenue streams in the stablecoin value chain, and address questions around practical usage and the evolving landscape. Take a deeper look at stablecoins (and other industry trends) at our upcoming 1-day Advanced Payments workshop on December 4th in San Francisco. Space is limited - enroll today!
