Presented by Stablecon; Powered by BVNK.

In this episode of Money Code, hosts Chuk Okpalugo and Raj Parekh sit down with Alfonso Gómez-Jordana and Rodrigo Fernández Touza, co-founders of Crossmint, a financial infrastructure company building wallets, stablecoin orchestration, and agentic commerce tools.

They unpack why launching fintech globally can move from country-by-country banking integrations to a single API, how compliance shifts to infrastructure providers with economies of scale, and why the loudest agentic-payment narratives still have little volume compared with B2B procurement and payment collection.
