    Why Building a Global Venmo with Stablecoins is Still Hard w/ Mike Hudack (Sling)

    Presented by Stablecon; Powered by BVNK.  In episode 19 of Money Code, hosts Chuk Okpalugo and Raj Parekh are joined by Mike Hudack, Co-founder and CEO at Sling Money. They unpack why stablecoins function as a shared ledger layer that turns cross-border payments from a prefunding and reconciliation problem into an interoperability problem, and why the real hard parts become ramps, localization, and fincrime controls rather than “the blockchain.” Chapters 00:00 Money never became an internet good 04:07 Sling’s “global Venmo” origin story 05:05 End-to-end Sling flow across 120 countries 08:33 Why global availability is the default, not the goal 10:30 What self-custody actually means in practice 13:29 Ramp strategy: regulation plus local partners 15:33 Abstraction versus trust in the UX 20:26 Generations of cross-border and shrinking float 25:11 Localization is distribution, not translation 28:49 Compliance is a product, not a checkbox 36:44 Stablecoin choice 43:22 Sling’s mission and the line between money apps and banks Connect with the Hosts & Guest Chuk Okpalugo: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chuk-okpalugo/ | https://x.com/chuk_xyz/ | http://stablecoinblueprint.com  Raj Parekh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rajparekh7/ | https://x.com/rajparekh | http://monad.xyz  Mike Hudack: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mhudack | https://x.com/mhudack | https://sling.money/ About Stablecon Stablecon (https://stablecon.com/) is the premier gathering for those at the intersection of DeFi, economic policy, financial infrastructure, and institutional integration, and those reinventing global commerce.

    Can Stablecoins Keep Deposits in Banks? w/ Cooper Thompson (Fiserv)

    Presented by Stablecon; Powered by BVNK.  In episode 18 of Money Code, hosts Chuk Okpalugo and Raj Parekh are joined by Cooper Thompson, Head of Innovation for Embedded Finance and Digital Assets at Fiserv.  They argue that stablecoins won’t replace bank cores but will connect them, and that the real bottleneck for bank adoption is the liability side: if reserves sit in Treasuries or at GSIBs, stablecoins undermine deposit-funded lending unless “fiat-layer” designs keep backing deposits distributed across smaller institutions. Subscribe and listen to the Money Code podcast here: https://lnk.to/MoneyCodeSN Chapters 00:00 The bank funding problem stablecoins create 00:55 Why Fiserv is in the “implementation layer” 02:36 What banks want: trust, reliability, and constraints 04:54 “Not everything moves onchain; cores stay” 06:38 Why FIUSD: stablecoins ignored fiat-layer innovation 10:33 FIUSD distribution: regulated-network cash, not DeFi liquidity 12:12 Domestic rails vs cross-border wins, and where programmability matters 17:36 Tokenized deposits vs payment stablecoins 21:14 StoneCastle and the deposit network mechanism 31:33 What products move onchain first: multi-party coordination 36:45 Privacy on public ledgers: ZK, audit keys, and institution-grade needs 39:49 Parting advice: when to adopt, and staying educated Connect with the Hosts & Guest Chuk Okpalugo: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chuk-okpalugo/ | https://x.com/chuk_xyz/ | http://stablecoinblueprint.com  Raj Parekh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rajparekh7/ | https://x.com/rajparekh | http://monad.xyz  Cooper Thompson: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cooper-thompson-963a01171/ | https://www.fiserv.com/  About Money Code Money Code is the show that decodes stablecoins and the evolution of programmable money for builders, investors, and decision-makers.

    Presented by Stablecon; Powered by BVNK.  In episode 17 of Money Code, hosts Chuk Okpalugo and Raj Parekh are joined by Jess Houlgrave, CEO at WalletConnect. They use the recent Ingenico partnership to unpack what it really takes to scale stablecoin payments at the physical checkout: incentives that move behavior, compliant routing from on-chain to fiat, UX that feels like Web2, and privacy constraints that shape whether merchants and consumers will ever choose on-chain settlement.

    Presented by Stablecon; Powered by BVNK.  In episode 15 of Money Code, hosts Chuk Okpalugo and Raj Parekh are joined by Jackie Reses, Chair and CEO at Lead Bank.  They break down why stablecoin payments quietly depend on banks as regulated “plumbing,” how compliance automation becomes a product advantage, and why the biggest second-order risk of stablecoin growth may be destabilizing community-bank deposit bases before local credit creation has a replacement.

    Presented by Stablecon; Powered by BVNK.  In episode 12 of Money Code, hosts Chuk Okpalugo and Raj Parekh are joined by Paul Frambot, CEO of Morpho, a leading lending protocol.
