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.
