    The Future of Money: Stablecoins, CBDCs, Tokenization & Payments | Michael Boevink

    What does the future of money look like, and how close are we to it? In this episode of Payments Between Us, I sit down with Michael Boevink to explore how payments are evolving and what stablecoins, tokenization and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) could mean for the way we move money in the future. We discuss the evolution of payments over the past 50 years, the role blockchain could play in reducing friction, and how tokenization could change the way assets are created, transferred and accessed. Michael also shares his perspective on the growing role of stablecoins, the potential, snd concerns around CBDCs, and whether these technologies can really deliver faster and more efficient cross-border payments. But technology is only one part of the equation. We also explore the importance of trust, regulation and compliance, and the challenge of creating frameworks that work across countries and markets. In this episode: • The evolution of payment systems • Blockchain and reducing friction in payments • Tokenization and its impact on liquidity • Stablecoins and instant global transactions • The opportunities and concerns around CBDCs • Regulation, compliance and trust • The future of cross-border payments • International treasury management 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐞𝐥: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-boevink/ Payments Between Us: Watch, listen & follow: https://cedarium.com/pbu/ Payments happen between people.

    What Really Makes Payments Work? | Daniela Moellers

    What really makes payments work: technology, regulation, or the people behind it? And what does it take to navigate tough negotiations in such a complex industry? In this episode of Payments Between Us, I sit down with Daniela Moellers, a digital payments specialist with extensive experience in negotiations, card schemes and the European payments landscape. We explore Daniela's journey through the industry, how payments have evolved in Germany and across Europe, and the emergence of initiatives such as Wero. We also look at the challenges of operating in a highly regulated industry: how regulation affects innovation and market entry, why understanding the market should come before building the product, and where European payments could be heading next. But this conversation goes beyond payment technology. Daniela shares her perspective on negotiation, trust, leadership and working across different cultures, including why human connection continues to play such an important role in business. And, as Daniela puts it: are we all living in a “payments bubble”? In this conversation, we explore: ■ Daniela's journey through the payments industry ■ The evolution of payments in Germany and Europe ■ Wero and European payment initiatives ■ Regulation, innovation and market entry ■ Building products that solve real market needs ■ Negotiation, trust and human connection ■ Cultural differences in international business ■ The future of the payments landscape Connect with Daniela: LinkedIn: Daniela Moellers Payments Between Us: Watch, listen & follow: https://cedarium.com/pbu/ Payments happen between people.
