Assembled is the AI customer support platform powering hundreds of modern enterprises including Stripe, Robinhood, Salesforce, and Ashley Furniture. The company's largest customer operates a 20,000-person contact center. With products spanning AI chat and voice agents that resolve 70-80% of tickets to sophisticated workforce management and forecasting systems, Assembled's core thesis challenges the industry narrative: the best support teams orchestrate humans and AI in perfect balance rather than replacing one with the other. In a recent episode of Category Visionaries, we sat down with Ryan Wang, CEO and Co-Founder of Assembled, to explore the company's journey from eight months to first customer to becoming the infrastructure behind customer experiences at scale. Topics Discussed: The reality gap between AI support demos and production deployment Why sophisticated buyers now demand quality benchmarks and latency metrics over feature lists The hidden complexity in contact center work: KYC compliance, fraud review, and multi-system workflows How the Klarna "fire everyone" approach failed and what it reveals about the market Patrick and John Collison's all-company support rotations at Stripe The product-market fit question that ended six months of wrong direction Enterprise destiny baked into early product decisions Converting LinkedIn discomfort into a systematic storytelling engine Path dependence from workforce management to AI automation products Why customer support problems rhyme with operations challenges across industries GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Quality-first positioning wins when buyers move past demo amazement: Ryan observed a critical market shift. Sophisticated buyers now run rigorous bake-offs with training data variability and ask for latency metrics, quality benchmarks, and production performance data. The last three AI deals Assembled closed required detailed competitive evaluations. When messaging emphasizes cost reduction over quality improvement, you lose credibility with buyers who understand that turning off support entirely would be free—they're investing in lifetime value and loyalty creation. Position around the buyer's actual objective hierarchy: quality first, efficiency as validation. The product-market fit question that encodes your entire GTM strategy: Ryan's co-founder asked prospects "What is software that you must have or you hate your options?" This single question revealed multiple strategic insights simultaneously: you're targeting painkillers in established categories, pursuing replacement sales against weak incumbents, and entering markets with demonstrated willingness to pay. For Assembled, this naturally surfaced workforce management—a must-have category with Windows 95-era tools serving 20,000-person teams. The question's elegance is how it filters for product-market fit and GTM approach in one conversation. Access the best through respect signals, not connections: When hiring his first engineering executive at 15 people, Ryan got an introduction to a former VP of Engineering at Facebook, then explicitly signaled time respect: requested only 15 minutes, clarified he wasn't recruiting, offered availability "Saturday 8pm or anytime," and had specific questions prepared. The call happened at an odd Saturday time. The insight wasn't just learning about "Dual Lands" leadership (a Magic: The Gathering reference)—it was understanding how exceptional minds construct mental models. You can reach these people through investor networks or multi-hop introductions, but earning their time requires demonstrating you'll use it surgically. Recognize when you're not "the company" to avoid strategic errors: A top recruiting firm told Ryan "you're not Stripe, so you can't sell people like you're Stripe." At any moment, one Silicon Valley company occupies a unique position—Stripe then, OpenAI now—where normal rules don't apply. That company can eliminate product managers, remove all titles, or make unconventional demands. Understanding you're not in that position prevents catastrophic hiring missteps. Ryan had to recalibrate from Stripe-era patterns where his recruiter became Anthropic's president and his onboarding buddy became OpenAI's president. Your positioning must match your actual market gravity, not your aspirational tier. Systematize founder storytelling to compound credibility: Ryan solved founder marketing discomfort by reframing from self-promotion to being an intermediary—sharing customer stories from Armenia, banking conferences, and global contact centers rather than broadcasting opinions. The system: Friday morning sessions with prompts ("interesting things from this week," "near-death moments," "challenges from 1-10M to 10-20M ARR," "why London now?"), team filters for compelling angles, three drafts weekly, then editing. The Science of Storytelling principles apply: narratives demonstrating lived experience build more credibility than thought leadership. This creates a flywheel where audience members surface their own stories in comments and DMs, feeding future content. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Cash Over €10,000 Becoming "Illegal Tender" in January 2027 What's true: Starting in summer 2027 (not precisely January), there will be an EU-wide limit on cash payments for goods and services: no more than €10,000 per transaction (or linked transactions). This applies across all 27 member states, though countries can set lower thresholds if they want (e.g., some already have limits around €1,000–€3,000). The goal is to curb illicit cash flows used for crime. What's false: Cash itself doesn't become "illegal tender"—you can still hold unlimited euros in cash, withdraw it from banks, or use it for smaller payments without issue. The restriction is only on using cash to pay for things above the limit (e.g., you couldn't buy a €15,000 car in cash without switching to wire transfer or card). Violators face fines or penalties, but it's not a blanket criminalization of cash holdings. This builds on existing rules but standardizes them EU-wide for the first time. 2. Every Bitcoin Needing "Government Permission" What's true: The rules ban anonymous crypto-asset accounts or wallets held through service providers (e.g., exchanges like Binance). Crypto firms must perform customer due diligence (CDD)—verifying identities—for any accounts they manage, similar to how banks already handle fiat accounts. Privacy-focused coins (e.g., Monero, Zcash) and unhosted (self-custodied) wallets face extra scrutiny if used for high-risk activities, and anonymous services will be prohibited. What's false: There's no requirement for "government permission" to own or transfer individual Bitcoins (or any crypto). You can still hold Bitcoin in a personal wallet, mine it, or peer-to-peer trade it without approval, as long as it's not through a regulated service that demands KYC (know-your-customer) checks. This ties into the broader Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation (effective 2024–2026), which licenses crypto platforms but doesn't micromanage personal holdings. The "permission" angle misrepresents standard AML checks, which apply to businesses handling crypto, not everyday users. 3. Every Transaction Becoming a "Datapoint in Brussels' Surveillance Grid" What's true: Financial institutions (banks, payment providers, crypto exchanges) must report suspicious transactions to national Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs), which share data via a new EU-level Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) based in Frankfurt (not Brussels). CDD kicks in for occasional transactions over €10,000, and high-risk activities (e.g., complex/large transfers) get extra monitoring. Records must be kept for 5 years. What's false: Not every transaction is tracked or reported—only suspicious ones, high-value occasional deals, or those flagged under risk-based rules. Everyday purchases (e.g.,

I sat down with Toby  Gilbert, co‑founder of Pact Swap, to dig into how he went from years in telecoms to building infrastructure for the Web3 era. We talk about the problems in decentralized exchanges, why cross‑chain and native Bitcoin support matter, and how Pact Swap is positioning itself to offer DEX functionality at central‑exchange price levels — without KYC and heavy overheads. If you've ever wondered how innovation in DEX infrastructure happens behind the scenes, this episode is for you.Key Learnings[00:01:00] Toby's entry into blockchain came via a deep infrastructure dev friend who highlighted the scaling pain‑points of incompatible chains.[00:02:00] Unlike many who start with Bitcoin or Ethereum apps, Toby started “far further upstream” building infrastructure.[00:03:00] Pact Swap is a cross‑chain DEX that supports native Bitcoin — tackling usability and cost issues with current solutions.[00:04:00] The architecture: Rather than locking hundreds of millions in validator collateral, Pact Swap uses per‑trade collateral and reactive smart‑contracts — making swaps ~95% cheaper than some competitors.[00:05:00] Their go‑to‑market is B2C + B2B (gaming companies, gateways, merchants) — enabling non‑crypto businesses to accept a variety of tokens and instantly swap to stable tokens without KYC overhead.[00:11:00] They're launching a governance & utility token: holders will access fee‑pools, burn tokens to unlock collateral — adding a “gamified” arbitrage model.[00:13:00] Misconception: “Are cross‑chain DEXs safe?” Toby explains how Pact Swap avoids bridges and uses a new architecture to keep it secure.[00:17:00] Big benchmark: Toby expects $0.5 billion/day of trade volume by end‑2026 — scaling to centralized‑exchange levels.[00:18:00] Advice for founders: Be ready to pivot, understand regulation, budget accordingly, and build team culture with open conversation.[00:21:00] On DeFi's next phase: User experience must evolve to bring in non‑crypto users and expand liquidity sources.[00:24:00] On raising: “Build product first, not just a pitch deck” — traction matters more than buzzwords.DisclaimerNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.It would mean a lot if you can leave a review of this podcast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify and share this podcast with a friend.Connecthttps://pactswap.io/https://x.com/Pact_Swaphttps://x.com/TobyCoinwebhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/toby-gilbert-64909855/ Be featured on this podcastBe a guest on the podcast or contact us - https://www.web3pod.xyz/

Jan Warmus is the director across Europe at EMCD — one of Europe's fastest-growing crypto super apps with over 400,000 verified users. EMCD is positioning itself as a "Web2.5" bridge, offering fiat ramps, staking, and other retail-friendly crypto services in a highly compliant, accessible format. Why you should listen EMCD is a full-spectrum crypto ecosystem. You'll find their mining pool (one of the top global SHA-256 pools), a multi-currency wallet, a savings-type product called Coinhold, and a peer-to-peer exchange all under one roof. Their wallet claims "no seed phrases, no middlemen," and integrates swaps, mining-earnings transfers, and holdings in one interface. They make a clear play for convenience and control: plug-in your mining hardware, track accruals, deploy earnings into savings with up to ~14 % annualized yield (depending on term and asset) — all via one account. Additionally, their mining arm emphasizes daily payouts, low withdrawal thresholds, and global server infrastructure across Europe, Asia, and North America.  EMCD has partnered with Stabul Finance. STABUL Finance operates as a specialized decentralized exchange focused exclusively on stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets. The platform uses what it calls a "fourth-generation" automated market maker (AMM) that builds upon previous technologies like Uniswap and Curve. The EMCD-STABUL partnership addresses a significant market gap. While non-USD currencies account for over 40% of global forex trading, less than 1% of on-chain volume involves non-USD stablecoins. This partnership gives EMCD's 400,000 KYC-verified users access to efficient stablecoin and commodity swaps through STABUL's platform. For EMCD users, this integration means seamless access to international currencies and tokenized assets without leaving their primary platform. Users earning cryptocurrency through mining can convert to stable assets, earn yield through Coinhold, and eventually spend through the upcoming EMCD Card – creating a complete financial ecosystem. The timing aligns with EMCD's broader expansion plans. The company offers zero percent mining fees through 2025 and is preparing to launch its crypto debit card, which will connect directly to users' USDT balances for spending at any Visa or Mastercard merchant.   Supporting links Stabull Finance EMCD Andy on Twitter  Brave New Coin on Twitter Brave New Coin   If you enjoyed the show please subscribe to the Crypto Conversation and give us a 5-star rating and a positive review in whatever podcast app you are using.  

Policy headwinds are rising, but the work still needs doing. In this episode of the HRchat Podcast, host Bill Banham sits down with Pavel Shynkarenko, founder of Mellow, to unpack the ripple effects of proposed H-1B and L-1 visa reforms—and a possible 25% outsourcing levy—on the global freelance and contractor economy.Pavel has spent more than 20 years in financial and HR technology, building platforms that help freelancers access fair pay, benefits, and social protections on par with employees. He brings a pragmatic, data-informed view of how these policy changes could reshape the cost calculus for U.S. employers, HR leaders, and cross-border teams in 2025 and beyond.Together, Bill and Pavel explore how tightening U.S. visa policies could unintentionally accelerate the shift toward remote-first and distributed workforces. When companies face rising administrative costs or talent shortages at home, they often turn to Employer of Record (EOR) and Contractor of Record (COR) models to stay compliant while continuing to access top talent worldwide. Pavel walks through the hidden math behind total landed cost—how everything from currency fluctuations to social contributions can alter hiring decisions—and why the real bottleneck isn't policy, but supply: there simply aren't enough local workers to replace the global freelance engine that powers innovation.The conversation then turns to platform evolution. Legacy marketplaces once promised cheaper rates through mass competition, but that model no longer serves enterprise needs. Today, trust, verified track records, and long-term fit matter far more. Pavel explains how Mellow is redefining the space by using AI and behavioral data to connect companies with freelancers they're statistically more likely to succeed with—based on shared networks, past project outcomes, and verified credentials. This AI-first approach also simplifies complex backend tasks such as KYC, tax, and payments across 100+ countries, giving HR teams one compliance-ready platform to manage their distributed workforce.Bill and Pavel also compare U.S. protectionist trends with Europe's fragmented response. Some countries, especially those with aging populations and shrinking workforces, may loosen immigration for high-skill talent, while others tighten entry. The result? A global balancing act where companies must blend onshore, nearshore, and offshore strategiesSupport the showFeature Your Brand on the HRchat PodcastThe HRchat show has had 100,000s of downloads and is frequently listed as one of the most popular global podcasts for HR pros, Talent execs and leaders.

With Igor Data, CEO and co-founder of Blin Analytics, we dig into the real mechanics of crypto crime and why the difference between loss and recovery often comes down to minutes, not months. Igor pulls back the curtain on demixing methods, behavior pattern analysis, and how AI and automation sift millions of transactions before a human makes the call. The theft may be digital, but the tells are human: tempo, timing, liquidity choices, and the inevitable mistake that cracks a years-long laundering chain.We unpack how mixers actually work, why law enforcement pressure has reshaped their use, and what it takes to trace funds from wallet to exchange in a way that stands up to scrutiny. Ethics are non-negotiable here: no release of sensitive leads without a confirmed case and a verified victim, and evidence goes to police to request KYC and freezes. That principle reflects a deeper theme—trust the math, not the marketing. Blockchain's transparency is architectural, while personal privacy must be preserved until due process kicks in.The conversation turns practical and strategic. You'll hear why phishing still dominates loss events, how to design a 24/7 incident playbook that actually gets funds frozen, and what role game theory plays in predicting laundering routes. We explore the case for ultra-low-cost microtransactions to reduce the web's dependence on surveillance ads, and we look ahead to the near future: AI-powered anomaly detection, black-market evasion tools, and why decentralized trust still pairs best with centralized enforcement. If you hold digital assets, lead a security team, or want a clear-eyed view of blockchain investigations, this is your blueprint for acting fast, staying ethical, and seeing patterns where others see noise.If this conversation helped you think differently about crypto security and digital trust, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway or question—we read every one.Send us a textSupport the showCheck out "Protection for the Inventive Mind" – available now on Amazon in print and Kindle formats.

In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton welcomes Alex Pillow, Senior Director of Partnerships & Acquisitions (Corporates & Government Unit) at Moody's and host of the podcast KYC Decoded, for a practical breakdown of how “know your customer” (KYC), third-party due diligence, and third-party risk management map directly onto modern supply chain realities. Alex demystifies integrated risk assessment, connects KYC practices to supplier onboarding and end-tier visibility, and shares where orchestration logic and high-quality data (master data management, beneficial ownership, and external risk signals) meaningfully cut time-to-decision.Alex explores today's most active threat patterns: organized fraud at scale, cyber supply-chain intrusions, and freight fraud, and how to translate visibility into action with clear mitigation pathways. Alex also spotlights lessons from investigative journalism (think massive crypto heists executed via vendor compromises), a “good team vs. bad team” mindset for program design, and why continuous improvement or the “infinite game” is the only sustainable posture for risk leaders. If you're building or leveling up TPRM and supply chain risk programs, this episode is a masterclass in combining people, data, and tooling to get ahead of disruption.Jump into the conversation:(00:00) Intro(01:27) Meet Alex Pillow from Moody's(02:14) Alex's podcast KYC Decoded and personal insights(04:49) Marathon training and personal goals(07:56) Understanding Moody's and integrated risk assessment(12:46) What is KYC and why is it important?(17:04) Parallels between KYC and supply chain management(26:09) Fraud and cybersecurity risks(31:59) Combating financial crime and corruption(34:08) Challenges faced by regulators and practitioners(35:34) The role of vendors and consultants(36:22) The Infinite Game: A call to action(39:09) Mindset shift for risk mitigation(42:48) The importance of a risk-based approach(47:54) Building a successful digital transformation toolkit(55:27) The impact of cybercrime on supply chainsAdditional Links & Resources:Connect with Alex Pillow: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-pillow/Check out the KYC Decoded podcast: https://www.moodys.com/web/en/us/insights/podcasts/kyc-decoded.htmlLearn more about Moody's: https://www.moodys.com Connect with Scott Luton: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottwindonluton/Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.com Watch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-now Subscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/join Work with us!

We dig into Auburn's big idea: auction houses collaborating on a shared shill-bidder list to protect buyers and legit sellers. Chris explains how some marketplaces already purge unpaid sales from data, and why tougher KYC/AML-style identity checks could raise the bar.

AI SUMMARY: Summary: Felix from WAVE.space discusses their innovative Visa debit card, WAVE card, which allows users to spend Bitcoin anywhere Visa is accepted. Launched in February as a virtual card, they're working towards a physical card, facing delays due to partnerships with various entities, including banks and Visa/MasterCard. These partnerships are essential as WAVE.space outsources regulatory licenses to focus on product development. A key hurdle is getting card designs approved by Visa and MasterCard, who are cautious about brand association. WAVE.space is transitioning from Visa to MasterCard for better control over card settings within their platform. The card currently supports euros, with plans to expand to other currencies by partnering with entities in different regions, such as Estonia, to handle regulatory aspects. Users can create an account on the WAVE.space web app, complete KYC verification, and deposit Bitcoin to start using the card. Users can also connect self-custodial wallets via NostriWallet Connect to spend Bitcoin directly. WAVE.space aims to enable users to live on a Bitcoin standard, offering an instant swap feature for buying and selling Bitcoin between wallets and bank accounts. This service is facilitated through a partnership with a virtual assets service provider, which is also applying for MiCA licensing. Felix highlights that the company is using other Bitcoin focused companies to leverage themselves off of. The company charges a 1% fee on conversions, whether buying, selling, or spending Bitcoin. Customer feedback reveals unexpected use cases, including Bitcoin beginners using the card to understand Bitcoin better and buying Bitcoin with euros to spend via the card. Some users leverage the platform for reliable and private Bitcoin sales, as WAVE.space issues IBANs in the user's name, ensuring that transfers to their bank accounts appear as internal transfers, avoiding scrutiny from banks. Felix shares a story of someone in the UK struggling to buy a house after selling Bitcoin and recommends people use WAVE.space in Europe to avoid those issues. Felix says the company has a thousand users and is growing 70-80% each month. The company was bootstrapped by three co-founders and then had investment from angels, one of which was one of the first angel investors in Relay. Felix is looking for investors who understand the goals of the company. There are plans for loyalty and rewards programs, potentially integrating with platforms like Satsback, and expanding partnerships with airlines like EasyJet and accommodation providers like Airbnb. Felix shares that the company has a blog post talking about people shorting Bitcoin without realizing it. The WAVE card lowers people's time preference because it causes them to ask the question, "Is this worth 30,000 sats?" Felix recommends people check out the Telegram group, website, and Twitter account for the latest information. He plans to be at Bitcoin Forum in Bavaria and Lugano's Plan B conference. Felix jokes that if he had one orange pill left, he would give it to Christine Lagarde.

Zak Mir talks to Stafford Masie, Executive Chairman, and Warren Wheatley, CEO, Africa Bitcoin Corporation, which is set to list on the Aquis Exchange. I sat down with Stafford Maisy, Executive Chairman, and Warren Wheatley, CEO of Africa Bitcoin Corporation to understand how a South African financial services group plans to combine an established SME lending business with a Bitcoin treasury strategy. What follows is a clear view of their thesis, the mechanics behind the plan, and why they believe Africa is the ideal place for a Bitcoin-first corporate treasury. What is Africa Bitcoin Corporation? Africa Bitcoin Corporation is the first publicly listed company in Africa to adopt Bitcoin as a core treasury asset. The business started as a financial services group focused on secured lending to small and medium enterprises across South Africa and has now announced a strategic pivot: use Bitcoin to strengthen the balance sheet, access cheaper global capital, and scale lending and impact across the continent. Bitcoin was made for us. That tagline captures their conviction. Stafford and Warren describe Bitcoin not as a speculative novelty but as a practical, life-changing instrument in African markets where currency debasement and weak rails make reliable stores of value precious. They are positioning ABC to be the regulated, listed vehicle that gives African investors, citizens and institutions exposure to Bitcoin in a jurisdictional, compliant manner. Why a Bitcoin treasury strategy in Africa? The argument is straightforward and rooted in local economic realities: Demand is pent up. In many African countries access to Bitcoin is restricted, exchanges are nascent, and investors lack regulated entry points. Currency debasement makes a fixed-supply, globally recognised asset attractive as a store of value. Bitcoin is being used as a medium of exchange in sub-Saharan Africa at higher rates than almost anywhere else. Merchant acceptance and day-to-day use are significant. The informal economy is large, sophisticated and largely cash based. Creating rails to bring informal participants into regulated Bitcoin exposure is an opportunity to increase financial inclusion. They point to examples like Namibia, where ABC has already completed a dual listing, as evidence of demand for a regulated way to gain Bitcoin exposure across the continent. How the strategy works in practice ABC's plan is not just to buy Bitcoin and sit on it. The stated objective is to increase Bitcoin per share over time by using Bitcoin as pristine collateral to unlock cheaper capital globally and then deploy that capital into secured, high-impact lending within Africa. Key mechanics include: Bolster the balance sheet by holding Bitcoin as a core asset, increasing the company's creditworthiness. Borrow in deep capital markets such as Japan, Switzerland or the US at single-digit interest rates. On-lend to African SMEs at materially higher rates, creating an interest-rate arbitrage that can be accretive to shareholders and increase Bitcoin per share. Warren explained the arbitrage clearly: borrow at around 6 to 9 percent in developed markets and on-lend in Africa at roughly 20 to 22 percent, resulting in a margin that can be reinvested into the treasury strategy and into the core lending book. Lending model and impact ABC's lending is secured and targeted at businesses rather than microfinance. Typical loan sizes are between £100,000 and £1,000,000, and the company has a three-year track record of deploying such loans. This is presented as high-impact lending: Stafford noted the social multiplier effect — for every modest amount deployed, jobs are created. The combination of secure lending with a Bitcoin-backed balance sheet is intended to simultaneously deliver financial returns and measurable local impact. Regulation, listings and rollout across Africa ABC's listing strategy begins with the Johannesburg Stock Exchange as its home market and has expanded with a dual listing in Namibia. The company plans further listings in five other sizable African markets to create regulated access points for citizens where Bitcoin cannot easily be bought today. Key points on compliance and execution: Using the Johannesburg Stock Exchange as the regulatory anchor simplifies subsequent listings because many African exchanges accept a fast-track process that recognises the rigor of JSE scrutiny. Additional listings are described as access points, not liquidity hubs. Deep liquidity is expected to come from listings on major markets such as London, Frankfurt and the US. ABC argues that South Africa offers the best combination of liquidity, governance and integration with global capital markets, giving the company a practical moat for a continental rollout. Why ABC believes it can be the dominant player Stafford and Warren set out several competitive advantages: They bring on-the-ground experience across African townships and informal economies, not just a financial services pedigree. Their lending business is naturally synergistic with a Bitcoin treasury. The balance sheet amplification unlocks cheaper capital which scales the lending model. They claim a governance and regulatory network, including relationships with the South African Reserve Bank and the JSE, that many competitors lack. They also stressed differentiation from other companies that have taken on Bitcoin treasuries without an operational fit. Unlike firms that can only announce a holding, ABC intends to actively use Bitcoin as collateral to build a repeatable, accretive business model. Our sole objective is continuously and perpetually to increase Bitcoin per share. Practical concerns and responses Addressing obvious questions, Stafford explained that cross-border expansion can be managed without an explosion in compliance costs because partner exchanges usually accept the JSE's due diligence and offer a fast-track listing. The company will still meet KYC and AML checks locally, but the model is designed to be operationally manageable. On the human side, both leaders emphasised their township roots and the reality of local economies. They challenged western misperceptions about African economies, arguing that informal cash markets are sophisticated and primed for the benefits Bitcoin can bring when offered through regulated, understandable rails. What to watch next Key milestones to monitor include: Final listing on the Aquis Exchange and subsequent planned listings across African markets. Announcements about the size and timing of initial Bitcoin purchases for the treasury and the financing structures used to leverage that collateral. Rollout of lending products that blend fiat and Bitcoin exposure, such as hybrid instruments or "bit bonds", which the company mentioned as a way to grow the treasury without causing dilution. Partnerships with deeper capital markets to provide liquidity and enable the interest-rate arbitrage at scale. Conclusion Africa Bitcoin Corporation presents a thesis built on a credible underlying business, continental demand, and a conviction that Bitcoin offers more than speculative upside in African markets. By using Bitcoin as pristine collateral to access global liquidity and scale secured lending locally, ABC aims to be both accretive for shareholders and transformational for customers on the ground. Whether you view Bitcoin as a speculative asset or as money, ABC's approach is pragmatic: use the asset to create real economic value, deliver credit to businesses that need it, and increase Bitcoin exposure for investors and citizens who currently lack regulated access. For those tracking the intersection of crypto, emerging markets and impact finance, this is a story to follow closely.

Building a successful fintech consulting firm without venture capital requires more than industry knowledge. It demands a willingness to sacrifice, a clear understanding of what customers need, and the ability to treat compliance as a commercial function rather than a cost center.Tedd Huff founder & CEO of Voalyre a fintech advisory firm sits down with Jas Randhawa, founder and CEO of Strategybrix, a compliance consulting firm that serves high-growth fintechs, exchanges, and partner banks.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Brian Benfield, retired Wits economics professor and senior associate at the Free Market Foundation, about why he believes South Africa’s costly KYC and FICA regime has failed. Benfield argues that decades of compliance have delivered little success in curbing financial crime while eroding financial privacy and personal liberty. Instead, he says, these regulations have created a costly surveillance system with minimal benefit and unintended economic damage.

The world of cryptocurrencies has seen no shortage of upheaval, but regulatory clarity that has arrived with recent legislation has created opportunities. Stablecoins are an area that's seeing renewed interest in FinTech as a means of reducing friction for global payments. Jordan McKee, Sampath Sharma and Nathan Stovall return to the podcast with host Eric Hanselman to look at how stablecoins are being put to work and how they're being used. For applications like cross border trade and the remittances trade, stablecoins can increase speed and potentially reduce costs. They can be considered another payment rail through which to conduct business.   Stablecoins are not without challenges. There are regulatory imperatives to be met, like anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC). Trust needs to be built in the market and education is needed around their potential benefits and risks. Traditional banks are getting involved, but they have additional stumbling blocks. There are technical hurdles, such as the readiness of backend systems to handle the higher precision values of stablecoins. And there are new concerns around custody risk, as handling wallets and the enhanced security required are new skills for many. The potential benefits and lucrative markets may give them enough incentive to take the plunge.   More S&P Global Content: US banks maintain favorable earnings while confronting economic uncertainty Money20/20 Europe 2025: Key trends and developments Balance sheet, M&A and capital raising strategies for a volatile environment Next in Tech | Ep. 230: FinTech Advances Street Talk | Episode 142: Despite Looming Rate Cuts, Strong Deposit Franchises Still Take The Cake   For S&P Global subscribers: Data Insight: Cross-border payments volume to surpass $17 trillion by 2030 Cross-Border Payments Market Monitor & Forecast - Data Visualization Cross-border payments, stablecoins generate buzz at a low-key Money20/20 Asia Tariffs create urgency for payment optimization strategies among large merchants, SMBs   Credits: Host/Author: Eric Hanselman  Guest: Jordan McKee, Sampath Sharma, Nathan Stovall Producer/Editor: Feranmi Adeoshun Published With Assistance From: Sophie Carr, Kyra Smith

In this episode of The Bitcoin Brief, Max and Q delve into the latest happenings in the world of Bitcoin and privacy. In this Bitcoin Brief, Q and Max dive into the escalating Core vs. Knots debate, sparked by leaked DMs suggesting a potential hard fork proposal from Luke Dashjr to address CSAM-related concerns via a trusted multisig and ZK proofs. We unpack why leaking private messages is a bad precedent, the slippery-slope risks of any centralised arbiter of “bad data,” and how such a scheme could fracture consensus and even create a hard fork. From there, we lay out both sides: Core's view that fees are the real spam filter and that relaxing/removing the OP_RETURN relay limit nudges non‑monetary protocols toward a less harmful data path; and Knots' view that node-level filters express sovereignty, reduce bloat, and protect network integrity. We also explore why spam is subjective, why whack‑a‑mole filtering doesn't work against out‑of‑band miner deals, and the economic incentives that may still push data into discounted witness space despite OP_RETURN becoming more permissive.They present a pragmatic take on peer‑to‑peer exchanges like Peach and RoboSats: they improve personal privacy versus centralised KYC, but they're not magic cloaks against governments or banks—use them thoughtfully, consider dedicated accounts, and prefer gift cards for day‑to‑day fiat spend. Rounding out the brief are updates: Peach adding buy‑side offers; Fulcrum v2.0 improving database reliability; Liana RC2 and Nunchuk's new Miniscript templates (including time‑locks—use with care); and the Mostro v1 mobile app for Nostr‑native P2P trading. We close with notes on Ark developments from Bull Bitcoin and a deep dive piece on Ark and Spark channel factories.IMPORTANT LINKS https://freesamourai.comhttps://p2prights.org/donate.htmlhttps://ungovernablemisfits.comVALUE FOR VALUEThanks for listening you Ungovernable Misfits, we appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy the shows.You can support this episode using your time, talent or treasure.TIME:- create fountain clips for the show- create a meetup- help boost the signal on social mediaTALENT:- create ungovernable misfit inspired art, animation or music- design or implement some software that can make the podcast better- use whatever talents you have to make a contribution to the show!TREASURE:- BOOST IT OR STREAM SATS on the Podcasting 2.0 apps @ https://podcastapps.com- DONATE via Monero @ https://xmrchat.com/ugmf- BUY SOME STICKERS @ https://www.ungovernablemisfits.com/shop/FOUNDATIONhttps://foundation.xyz/ungovernableFoundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.As a sovereign computing company, Foundation is the antithesis of today's tech conglomerates.

Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. For more than two decades, David Tyree lived a double life. On the surface, he was a dedicated agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Behind the scenes, he infiltrated some of the most dangerous organizations in the world, outlaw motorcycle gangs and international drug cartels. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “I spent years sitting across from people who wouldn't hesitate to kill me if they knew who I really was,” Tyree said during a recent interview. “The stakes were always life or death. But the mission, to dismantle these organizations, was worth every risk.” He is the guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most podcast platforms. Undercover Against Motorcycle Gangs Tyree's undercover work included working with outlaw motorcycle clubs, also known as “one-percenters.” These organizations often present themselves as brotherhoods of riders but, as the Department of Justice points out, many function as highly structured criminal enterprises. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . “The ‘Big Four' dominate the outlaw motorcycle scene,” Tyree explained. “These groups aren't just about bikes. They're about drugs, weapons, extortion, and serious violence. My job was to get inside and stay alive long enough to make a difference.” Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. According to federal reports, there are more than 300 active motorcycle gangs in the U.S. Some operations are small, but others span hundreds of chapters worldwide, often working hand-in-hand with drug cartels. Cartels, Cash, and Money Laundering Tyree's assignments expanded beyond biker gangs. He went undercover as a drug dealer, then later as a money launderer, targeting powerful South American and Central American drug cartels. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. “These cartels are multinational corporations of crime,” he said. “Drugs, cash, money, violence, it's all part of their business model. They'll work with anyone who helps them move product or clean their dirty money.” Wikipedia describes cartels as alliances of independent drug lords who collaborate to dominate the illegal trade. Tyree saw firsthand how groups like the Sinaloa Cartel and Los Zetas waged bloody turf wars while smuggling narcotics across borders. Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “One day I could be moving fake loads of cocaine, the next day I'd be laundering millions in cash,” he recalled. “The psychological toll was real. You don't just walk away from that without scars.” Shattering the Hollywood Myths Much of what the public knows about undercover work comes from movies and TV. Tyree insists that reality is far different. “One big myth is that agents have to use drugs to prove themselves,” he said. “That's absolutely false. If you do that, you compromise the case. There are ways around those tests of loyalty, and we were trained to handle them.” Another misconception is that undercover life is constant action. In truth, many investigations stretched over a year or more. “Paperwork was just as important as the undercover work,” Tyree explained. “Evidence, lab reports, case files, that's what puts people in prison.” The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. As for agents going “soft” on their targets? Tyree dismisses the idea. “You might build rapport, but you never forget who you're dealing with. These are people who thrive on violence and greed.” Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. Even his own family didn't always know the full truth. “I kept a lot to myself,” he admitted. “Sometimes it was to protect them, sometimes just to keep them from worrying.” Battling Trauma, and Cancer The stress of living under a false identity, constantly under threat, took its toll. Tyree admits nervousness was a constant companion early on. “I had to learn techniques to stay calm, to stay focused,” he said. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. As his career wound down, Tyree faced a different kind of fight, cancer. “It was one of the toughest battles of my life, but the same resilience I built undercover helped me through it.” His Cancer diagnosis was the result of a dare and bet. He is a huge advocate for early and frequent health screenings. Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. Life After the DEA Today, Tyree is retired from the DEA but far from finished with his mission. He serves as a Senior Advisor on Financial Crime Detection and Anti-Money Laundering with Valid8 Financial and is an instructor with the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists. With 25 years of experience, he now uses his expertise to help financial institutions, government agencies, and law enforcement combat crime through Bank Secrecy Act, AML, KYC, and due diligence processes. Check out the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “Whether it was chasing cartels or building compliance systems, the goal has always been the same, protect people, protect society,” he said. Telling His Story Tyree now shares his story through interviews, news outlets, and guest appearances on podcasts like the Law Enforcement Talk Radio show and podcast, which is available for free on their website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and mroe. His recent feature, Police Under Cover Truths, pulls back the curtain on undercover operations, addressing both the myths and the realities of life in deep cover. Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. He also connects with audiences check out the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, where he continues to educate others about the risks of organized crime and the importance of financial vigilance. “I don't glamorize what I did,” Tyree concluded. “It was dangerous, it was messy, and sometimes it was terrifying. But it was necessary. And if people can learn something from my career, whether it's about cartels, motorcycle gangs, or money laundering, then sharing these truths is worth it.” Be sure to check out our website .

Altcoin froth meets real-asset rails. Vlad explains why Robinhood built an L2, how tokenized stocks—and even private shares like OpenAI/SpaceX—could trade on-chain, and what that means for accreditation, access, and the public/private wall. Plus: DATs, DTCC in a tokenized world, and AI that formally proves smart contracts. Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, Robinhood co‑founder/CEO Vlad Tenev joins to explain Robinhood Chain, why they chose a Layer 2 over a Layer 1, and the plan to bring tokenized stocks — including private shares — on‑chain. We get into the OpenAI/SpaceX kerfuffle, accreditation rules, and whether permissionless tokenization erodes the public/private boundary. Then we zoom out to 24/7 trading, Digital Asset Treasuries, and how formal verification (Lean proofs) could make smart contracts safer. Show highlights
