    Coala Pay Uses Stablecoins to Help Solve Global Crises

    Humanitarian aid runs on good intentions, but often hits a wall when money needs to move. Melyn McKay saw that wall up close while working in crisis zones where broken financial systems made distributing help painfully slow. In this episode, we explore how that experience led her to build Coala Pay, a stablecoin solution for aid organizations. Alongside Sean Judge of Castle Island Ventures, one of the earliest firms to back stablecoin infrastructure, we unpack the very real-world problems crypto is finally starting to solve. From the limitations of traditional banking systems in fragile states to the potential of smart contracts to rebuild trust and transparency, this is a conversation about how stablecoins are quietly becoming one of crypto’s most compelling use cases.  Twitter: Sean Judge: https://x.com/seanjudgeciv Melyn McKay: https://x.com/MelynMcKay Castle Island Ventures: https://x.com/CastleIslandVC Coala Pay: https://x.com/coalapay Links: https://castleisland.vc/ https://coalapay.org/ Token Warrant https://x.com/tokenwarrant https://x.com/MikeZajko https://www.lattice.fund/ The token warrant podcast and content posted by Lattice Capital Management ("Lattice") is presented solely for general informational, educational, and entertainment purposes.
