    The State of Stables, Q3-2026

    In Latin America, stablecoins are no longer a  “trend” to explain. They are already reshaping how businesses and financial institutions move value across the region. In the third edition of The State of Stables, Stablecon's Justin Friedman and Sanjib Kalita are joined by Andrew Van Aken of Artemis Analytics to cover the biggest trends shaping the stablecoin ecosystem in Q3 2026, with a focus on LATAM. The real story is growth beyond retail adoption to enterprise implementation. The discussion touches on stablecoin use across supplier payments, treasury operations, payroll, and why local-currency stablecoins have yet to gain significant traction but still might. The latest global market data shows that stablecoin supply remained flat year-over-year, while the number of sizable stablecoins continues to rise. Meanwhile, Latin America's stablecoin payment service providers approached $3 billion in monthly volume. The episode dives into Payward’s $600 million acquisition of Reap, the growing importance of distribution and payment orchestration, and why making stablecoin transactions easier across chains and embedded wallets could unlock the next wave of adoption. Finally, the policy corner explores Brazil’s regulated approach to stablecoins, Argentina’s embrace of the U.S. dollar, and the tension between efficiency for users and dollarization risk for Latin America's economies. As instant payment systems already move money domestically in seconds, what do stablecoins uniquely improve: settlement or regional interoperability?

    Stablecoins Become Real Money When the Rails Actually Work

    Money moves instantly online, so why does moving it across borders still feel so slow? Host Dante Reminick sits down with David Marcus, CEO and Co-founder of Lightspark, to explore what it will take to build a truly global, real-time payments network.

    Why Stablecoins Could Transform Global Payments

    Money still moves like paperwork, even when everything else moves like software. In this episode, Bam Azizi sits down with Sandeep Nailwal, CEO and founder of Polygon, to explore why stablecoins may be crypto’s clearest product-market fit—and how they could transform payments.

    Stablecoins That Settle In Minutes

    In this episode of Stable Pulse, host Dante Reminick sits down with Avinash Chidambaram, Founder and CEO of Cybrid, to explore why stablecoins represent a fundamental shift in how money moves. While today's payment systems send information instantly, the movement of value still depends on slow settlement, correspondent banks, and legacy infrastructure. Stablecoins change that by moving payment and settlement together on-chain. Dante and Avinash break down what this means in practice, from B2B supplier payments and cross-border remittances to real-time treasury management, guaranteed FX, and faster access to funds. They also unpack the often-overlooked infrastructure behind enterprise stablecoin payments, including compliance, KYB, transaction monitoring, wallet screening, fraud controls, and banking partnerships that make these systems work at scale. Finally, they discuss where stablecoin adoption is accelerating, how regulation such as the GENIUS Act is shaping trust in the ecosystem, and why the future of global payments may be powered by stablecoin rails, even if most users never realize it.

    How The Better Money Company Is Turning Stablecoins Into Real Dollars

    In this episode, host Dante Reminick sits down with Adam Zuckerman, Co-Founder & CEO of The Better Money Company, to explore why the future of stablecoins may involve thousands of different digital dollars—and the infrastructure needed to make them function as one seamless financial system. Together, they unpack the market forces driving institutions to launch their own stablecoins, from brand ownership and economics to compliance, regulation, and risk management. Adam explains why stablecoin interoperability is one of the industry's biggest unsolved challenges, what a true stablecoin clearinghouse would look like, and why "singleness of money" is essential if digital dollars are ever going to achieve fiat-like usability. They also dive into the realities of cross-chain settlement, minting and redemption, compliance controls, first- and last-mile payments, and why many issuers should prioritize real-world adoption over simply growing market cap.
