Presented by Stablecon; Powered by BVNK.

In this episode of Money Code, hosts Chuk Okpalugo and Raj Parekh sit down with Jack Chong, co-founder and CEO of Checker, a stablecoin liquidity network for regulated financial institutions that processed more than $3B over the last 12 months.

They unpack why "USD is not the same in different countries," how stablecoins are creating a correspondent banking 2.0 layer, and why stablecoin payments still depend on local liquidity, settlement timing, and the bottlenecks around them.
