Getting someone excited about your product is easy. Getting their money into it is where many crypto, stablecoin, and fintech apps fall short. In this episode, host Dante Reminick sits down with Griffin Dunaif, CEO and Co-Founder of Halliday, to unpack the challenges behind deposits, onboarding, and mainstream adoption.

They explore unified deposits and payouts, the “last mile” of money movement, and why better funding flows can dramatically improve conversion, retention, and customer lifetime value. Griffin also breaks down custodial vs. non-custodial architecture, global scaling under frameworks like MiCA, and how the same infrastructure can power everything from payments and subscriptions to tokenized real-world assets.

If you’re building a trading platform, neobank, payments product, or on-chain app, this episode offers a practical look at what it takes to make moving money 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.

David shares his journey from Bitcoin and the Lightning Network to building infrastructure that connects stablecoins with existing payment rails like FedNow, SEPA Instant, and Pix. They dig into why simply launching a stablecoin wallet isn’t enough, how Lightspark is building the connectivity layer behind global payments, and what it takes to navigate liquidity, compliance, and local currencies at scale.

They also walk through how a cross-border SoFi transfer can settle in seconds and look ahead at how stablecoins could change not just how money moves, but what a financial account can be.

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.

They discuss the shared-ledger advantage of stablecoins, faster cross-border payments, B2B settlement, and the potential for smart contracts to automate financial flows. Sandeep also shares his journey from early skepticism of Bitcoin to his “lightbulb moment” with Ethereum and explains how stablecoins fit into the broader tokenization of real-world assets.

The conversation also dives into Polygon’s evolution into a Web3-enabled fintech, its strategy around stablecoin infrastructure, acquisitions like CoinMe and Sequence, and the path toward building sustainable financial infrastructure for enterprises.
