What happens when all the world's money moves on chain? That's not a hypothetical for Marc Boiron, CEO of Polygon Labs, it's the company's mission. In this episode, Marc explains how Polygon is evolving from its roots as an Ethereum layer two into the blockchain for global payments, detailing two recent acquisitions that form the foundation of what he calls the "open money stack" - a single API combining on-ramps, wallets, and cross-chain interoperability.With over $2.5 trillion in transaction volume already processed and partnerships with Revolut, Stripe, Nubank, and dozens of fintechs across Latin America, Africa, and Asia, Marc makes the case that stablecoins are just the beginning. He shares why tokenized bank deposits will be the real game-changer, how banks are already positioning to profit from this shift, and why in 10 years he believes every dollar, whether paying a merchant down the street or sending a remittance across the globe, will move on a blockchain without anyone even thinking about it.In this podcast you will learn:How Marc first got interested in blockchain and crypto technology.Why he decided to make the move to Polygon Labs.Why Polygon decided to focus on payments.All the components you need to move money around the world on blockchain.The idea behind the open money stack.How Polygon is working with the likes of Revolut and Stripe.How they differentiate themselves from the other payments blockchains.What they are doing in AML and sanctions policy.The scale that Polygon is at today when it comes to transaction volume.What will the financial system look like when more money stays on chain.The two things banks ask in their initial conversations with Polygon.How money will transform in the next 10 years and why most people will not notice.Connect with Fintech One-on-One: Tweet me @PeterRenton Connect with me on LinkedIn Find previous Fintech One-on-One episodes

First up on this week's episode of Inside Business, we look at new research this week from Revolut suggests that social media companies made €32 million in revenue from scam ads to Irish users in 2025. The figure for Europe as a whole was a whopping €4.4 billion.Host Ciarán Hancock is joined by Irish Times reporter Hugh Dooley to takes us through the headline findings from the Revolut research, while Irish Times columnist and economist David McWilliams discusses how his image was used by scammers last year to con people out of money.Also, research this week from the ESRI suggests the property industry is using ghost bids and other tactics to create a frenzy and nudge buyers into increasing their bids for properties here.It found participants' bids were pushed higher in open auctions managed by estate agents or online platforms than in sealed bid auctions.Owen Reilly is a leading estate agent in Dublin, and he discusses how the research chimed with his own experience in the industry.Produced by John Casey with JJ Vernon on sound.

In this episode of The Venture Capital Podcast (VC.fm), hosts Peter Harris and Jon Bradshaw speak with Roberto Bonanzinga, Founder of InReach Ventures and former Founding Partner at Balderton Capital, about how artificial intelligence is transforming venture capital from the inside out.Roberto explains how InReach Ventures built a proprietary AI and machine learning platform to discover early-stage founders across Europe — often before they raise capital, build pitch decks, or even seek investors. Drawing on decades of experience backing companies like Revolut, Depop, Vivino, and Contentful, he shares why discovery is the biggest bottleneck in early-stage VC and how AI changes that equation.The conversation explores:AI-first venture capital modelsInvesting in founders before ideasEarly-stage startup discovery in EuropeGP-only venture firms and fund designWhy pitch decks don't predict outcomesThe future of junior roles, analysts, and associates in VCHow AI reshapes career paths and investing workflowsThis episode is essential listening for founders, venture capitalists, LPs, and operators interested in AI, early-stage investing, and the future of venture capital.Follow the PodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/venturecapitalfm/Twitter: https://twitter.com/vcpodcastfmLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/venturecapitalfm/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7BQimY8NJ6cr617lqtRr7N?si=ftylo2qHQiCgmT9dfloD_g&nd=1&dlsi=7b868f1b72094351Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/venture-capital/id1575351789Website: https://www.venturecapital.fm/Follow Jon BradshawLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrbradshaw/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrjonbradshaw/Twitter: https://twitter.com/mrjonbradshawFollow Peter HarrisLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterharris1Twitter: https://twitter.com/thevcstudentInstagram: https://instagram.com/shodanpeteYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@peterharris2812
Es mag sich um eine Koinzidenz handeln. Aber auffällig ist dann doch, dass sich digital geprägte Banken vermehrt in die Obhut klassisch geprägter Banker begeben. Revolut macht den früheren SocGen-CEO Frédéric Oudéa zum Europa-Chef. Bei N26 übernimmt Noch-UBS-Vorstand Mike Dargan das Ruder. Und die Solarisbank wird neuerdings von einem Mann geführt (Steffen Jentsch), der, als er halb so alt war wie er es heute ist, schon zum Abteilungsleiter bei der Helaba aufstieg. So gesehen ist Oliver Behrens mit seinen mittlerweile 62 Jahren also ein absoluter Trendsetter! Dabei kam die Nachricht, dass Behrens der neue CEO von FlatexDegiro wird, im Sommer 2024 eher überraschend. Klar, einerseits konnte der Onlinebroker nach den Verwerfungen zwischen Großaktionär Bernd Förtsch und dem langjährigen Vorstandschef Frank Niehage einen seriösen Ruhepol gut gebrauchen. Andererseits: Wäre es nicht naheliegender gewesen, auf die neue Konkurrenz durch hippe Fintechs wie Trade Republic mit einem ebenso hippen neuen CEO zu reagieren? Statt mit Oliver Behrens, Ex-Deutsche-Bank, Ex-DWS, Ex-Deka, Ex-Morgan-Stanley. Und als Präsident von Frankfurt Main Finance (das wurde er 2024 ebenfalls) ist er zwar ein gewichtiger Kopf am Finanzplatz, aber gefühlt damals auf dem Weg zum operativen Has-been, zumal man ihn wenige Wochen vorher erst zum AR-Chef der DWS gekürt hatte. Um es kurz zu machen – so kann man sich täuschen! Behrens stürzte sich in seinen neuen Job. Und keine anderthalb Jahre später hat sich die Flatex-Aktie mehr als verdreifacht und steht der Frankfurter Onlinebroker (Börsenwert jetzt >4 Mrd. Euro) so prächtig da wie nie zuvor. Wie ist das passiert? Was kommt als nächstes? Und wie blickt Oliver Behrens aufs "Payment for Orderflow"-Verbot, wie auf den ETF-Boom, wie auf die Private-Markets-Welle?

Valereum PLC (AQSE:VLRM, FRA:6TJ) commercial director Mark Mariampillai talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's strategic partnership with Injective Foundation and DigiShares, aimed at accelerating real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation. Mariampillai explained that the collaboration solves a key industry challenge - buy-side exposure - by connecting DeFi-native users to traditional finance rails through Valereum's regulated platform. "This partnership really unlocks both of those angles," said Mariampillai. "It exposes us to a big, wide ecosystem that Injective are involved in, and it's going to help us bridge crypto digital asset natives over to TradFi rails." Valereum is targeting the onboarding of between 1,000 to 10,000 users to its marketplace, focusing on qualified retail, high-net-worth individuals, institutions, and family offices. Compliance remains central to this process, with all participants vetted under regulatory frameworks. A key highlight is the expected onboarding of Wageen Corp, a startup similar to Uber in Panama, onto the Injective blockchain, subject to regulatory approvals. Valereum anticipates this will represent $6 million in Total Value Locked (TVL), a significant milestone for a single asset on-chain. Looking ahead, Mariampillai noted the aim is to facilitate repeat issuances and drive demand-side FOMO, likening the growth potential to how Revolut transformed crowdfunding. He also emphasised that Valereum is a registered Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) in El Salvador, providing regulated infrastructure for these offerings.

Finance Forward - Der Podcast zu New Finance, Fintech, Crypto, Blockchain & Co.
Die Neobank Vivid galt lange als ernstzunehmender Angreifer von N26 und Revolut. Mit aggressivem Marketing konnte das Berliner Fintech von Gründer Alexander Emeshev schnell wachsen und erhielt hohe Investments von Softbank und Ribbit – zu einer Bewertung von 750 Millionen Euro. Doch vor rund einem Jahr beschloss Emeshev einen radikalen Schritt und fuhr das Marketing für Endkunden komplett herunter. Seitdem fokussiert sich Vivid auf Geschäftskunden – und die Zahlen können sich sehen lassen: 100.000 Firmenkunden nutzen das Geschäftskonto. Nun tritt Vivid wieder mit aggressiven Angeboten im Markt auf und will sich gegen Fintechs wie Finom und Qonto durchsetzen. Über seine großen Pläne, die hohe Bewertung aus Hype-Zeiten und die Hintergründe des Pivots hat Redakteur Caspar Schlenk mit Alexander Emeshev gesprochen.

In this episode of Tank Talks, Matt Cohen and John Ruffolo unpack Prime Minister Mark Carney's China agreement and his Davos speech, calling out the collapse of the rules-based international order and pushing “middle powers” to coordinate against coercion. John and Matt agree the speech was sharp, but they hammer the real issue: Canada has to build leverage at home (resources, infrastructure, internal trade, and actual execution) or “diversifying” becomes a vibes-only strategy.The conversation then pivots to Trump's Greenland framework, rare earth realities, and why the real choke point is processing, not just “owning minerals.” Finally, they switch lanes into markets, covering the biggest anticipated IPOs of 2026 (SpaceX, OpenAI, Databricks, Stripe, Revolut, Canva), why liquidity could snap back for LPs, and why SPACs are creeping back as a funding path for deep tech, including General Fusion's SPAC and the emergence of the Canadian Rocket Company as Canada tries to repatriate space talent.Canada–China trade reset and what it actually means (02:13)Matt tees up the January 16 China agreement and the idea of trade diversification under U.S. tariff uncertainty. John frames it as a fix for specific trade pain (not a full political pivot) and warns against treating China as a “safe alternative.”Davos speech: “truth bombs” vs real-world action (04:11)They break down Carney's Davos message on coercion, great power tactics, and middle-power coalitions. John calls it “spectacular,” but both stress the gap between rhetoric and measurable outcomes.Canada's leverage problem: “build Canada first” (06:39)John argues Canada can't diversify trade if it has nothing competitive and scalable to trade. The conversation turns into a blunt call for domestic execution: resources, pipelines, and the hard stuff that moves GDP.Matt's frustration: Why no national address to Canadians? (08:06)Matt goes off on the lack of direct, plainspoken communication to Canadians about what has to change, what's coming, and what tradeoffs might be required.Trump and Greenland: Bond markets, politics, and power (12:32)John calls Trump's posture performative and points to constraints that actually matter, including internal GOP pressure and market reactions (he highlights the bond market as the real “adult in the room”).Top anticipated IPOs of 2026: the mega list (19:12)They run through what's being floated as the monster class of potential offerings: SpaceX, OpenAI, Databricks, Stripe, Revolut, Canva (and more speculation). The bigger point: it's not number of IPOs, it's dollar value and liquidity unlock.Canada's space bets: Canadian Rocket Company emerges (21:15)Matt shares CRC's emergence from stealth with $6.2M funding (all Canadian investors including BDC and Garage). Focus: repatriating SpaceX/Blue Origin talent and pushing Canada deeper into the space industrial base.Connect with John Ruffolo on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/joruffoloConnect with Matt Cohen on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/matt-cohen1Visit the Ripple Ventures website: https://www.rippleventures.com/ This is a public episode.

Welcome back to another episode of Upside at the EUVC Podcast, where Dan Bowyer, Mads Jensen of SuperSeed, and Lomax Ward of Outsized Ventures cut through the noise shaping tech, venture, and geopolitics in Europe and beyond.This week starts lightly, as all good episodes do, with kids, illness paranoia, and the small joys of enforced medical naps. It escalates quickly.From OpenAI's new health-focused ChatGPT and the FDA's sudden sprint toward deregulation to Trump's Greenland fixation and what it really signals about European sovereignty, to Meta buying its way into the AI application layer, pension funds destroying value at scale, and Nvidia's push into physical AI. This is one of those episodes where everything connects.The common thread is power. Who has it. Who's losing it. And who's still pretending nothing has changed.This is Upside, where the takes are sharp, the systems are breaking, and the optimism is… cautiously conditional.What's covered:03:00 ChatGPT Health launches and why Europe is locked out05:00 The FDA's pivot to deregulation and what it means for health startups10:00 Using multiple LLMs as a “second medical opinion”13:00 Trump, Greenland, and the slow collapse of Pax Americana18:00 Sovereignty, defence spending, and Europe's strategic wake-up call23:00 France moves to ban social media for under-15s27:00 Meta buys its way into the AI application layer30:00 Kraken spins out of Octopus at multi-billion scale34:00 Revolut's Turkey move and the march to 100 million users37:00 UK pension funds, catastrophic underperformance, and broken incentives45:00 Why venture returns matter more than fees49:00 FTSE hits 10,000 and why it doesn't mean what you think56:00 CES, Nvidia's autonomous ambitions, and physical AI01:04:00 Grok's $230B valuation and free speech trade-offs01:07:00 Deals of the Week

Welcome back to the EUVC Podcast where we go behind the craft of building and backing venture-scale companies in Europe.Today, we're joined by Sean Mullaney, Founder & CEO of Seapoint, and Will Prendergast, as the Founding Partner at Frontline Ventures.Seapoint has just come out of stealth with a $3M pre-seed to rebuild the fragile and fragmented financial stack that European startups (and later: mid-market companies) rely on. With a Stripe-forged team, AI-native development culture, and operators from Revolut, Tines & more on board, Seapoint wants to become the financial home for European startups.This conversation dives deep into founder pain, broken tooling, AI-native product building, engineering culture, the changing shape of startup teams, syndicate-building, and why Frontline backed Sean with high conviction.Here's what's covered:01:07 The Mission: “The financial home for European startups”03:32 Frontline's conviction moment06:24 The founder pain: 5 tools, 5 accounts, zero clarity08:07 The invisible tax: fragmentation, reconciliation hell, no real-time view10:14 Why this problem is structurally important12:19 European vs US lens: why Seapoint is ahead13:18 AI-native engineering: “We rebuild the stack from processes, not accounts”15:19 AI agents allow senior engineers to ship full-stack features alone — compressing timelines that previously required 2–3× more engineers.17:19 Rethinking teams: fewer people, more senior, more generalist19:33 Productivity does NOT reduce funding needs — it increases ambition21:27 Culture: curiosity, experimentation, and founder-led technical push36:11 Syndicate design: Angels as a go-to-market weapon.40:23 From startup financial home → to powering Europe's mid-market backbone: lending, treasury, automation, embedded finance.

2026 could be a historic year for the IPO market with over $3.6 trillion in expected valuations hitting the public stage. In this episode, we break down the hottest and most talked-about names in the pipeline: SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, Revolut, Canva, Databricks, and TikTok US.We discuss what makes SpaceX such a unique and defensible business, why OpenAI's losses and leadership noise might be red flags, and how Anthropic is quietly building a much more sustainable AI model. Plus, the strategy behind Stripe's long-awaited listing, Revolut's super-app ambitions, Canva's AI monetisation push, and the jaw-dropping TikTok U.S. deal that could become one of the biggest financial giveaways of all time.We also dive into who's really making money here with banks like Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan, and Goldman Sachs all fighting for billion-dollar fees.Bullish or bearish, overhyped or undervalued, this is our full take on the biggest IPOs to watch in 2026.(00:00) 2026 IPO Landscape Overview(02:07) SpaceX: Trillion Dollar Debut(11:59) OpenAI: Timing and Challenges(16:02) Anthropic: A Different Approach(21:12) ByteDance and TikTok: The Crony Bonanza(25:31) Databricks: Data Intelligence Platform(28:45) Stripe: Payments Powerhouse(31:26) Revolut: Challenger Bank(33:37) Canva: Design Tool with Potential
En este episodio del podcast hablamos con el responsable de Growth para el sur de Europa y LatAm en Revolut, Ignacio Zunzunegui.Revolut es una de las fintech más grandes del mundo con 65 millones de clientes y casi 4.000 millones de euros en facturación. Analizamos en profundidad cómo gana dinero Revolut, por qué no depende del crédito como los bancos tradicionales y cómo ha construido un modelo de ingresos diversificado basado en suscripciones, FX, inversión, depósitos, loyalty y business banking. También hablamos de números reales: márgenes, CAC, revenue por usuario y crecimiento anual. Entramos de lleno en su estrategia de Growth: performance marketing, referrals, influencers, marca, cajeros físicos y campañas de mass media. Por qué medir solo el CPA es un error, cómo los canales generan inercia entre sí y qué decisiones toman cuando una acción no es directamente atribuible, pero sí rentable a medio plazo. Un episodio clave para entender cómo se construye una empresa escalable, rentable y con ventaja competitiva en un sector tan regulado y competitivo como el financiero.
En el episodio de hoy analizamos cómo las reservas de Banxico alcanzaron un máximo histórico de 251,000 MDD, blindando a la economía mexicana ante la incertidumbre global del 2026. Además, desmenuzamos la entrada de Revolut al mercado de crédito en México y la investigación por dumping contra las manzanas de EE.UU. En el plano internacional, la tensión escala tras la intervención en Venezuela: EE.UU. incauta petroleros y toma control de las exportaciones de PDVSA bajo la administración Trump. También, la SCJN falla a favor del pago retroactivo de alimentos y Netflix se queda con Warner Bros Discovery.Recibe gratis nuestro newsletter con las noticias más importantes del día.Si te interesa una mención en El Brieff, escríbenos a arturo@strtgy.ai Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, hosts Sebastien Couture, Brian Crain, and Friederike Ernst gather for their annual wrap-up to discuss the end of the "infinite money glitch": the era where tokens traded at billions without proven product-market fit. They explore the 2025 "spring cleaning" that devastated the altcoin market and the quiet, efficient entry of web2 incumbents like Revolut and Stripe. The discussion centers on the industry's maturation into a space where protocols are finally judged on their ability to generate real revenue and growth.The team analyzes the 2025 "spring cleaning" of altcoins alongside Polymarket's mainstream breakout. As giants like Stripe and Revolut scale crypto integrations, the hosts debate if consolidating distribution power is diluting the original promise of decentralized agency. Finally, they address the existential quantum threat to Bitcoin and share their 2026 "hot takes.Topics00:00 Intro & Notable Memories 04:30 The Bybit Hack & Price Action 08:15 Polymarket & The Mainstream Breakout 12:00 The Altcoin "Spring Cleaning" 18:45 Axelar & The Circle Acquisition 25:30 Incumbents: Back-end Upgrades vs. Values33:15 Social Media & The Economics of Attention 42:00 Staking Consolidation & Distribution Power 50:30 The Quantum Threat to Bitcoin 58:45 2026 Predictions: RWAs & PerpsLinks Sebastien on X: https://x.com/seb3point0 Brian on X: https://x.com/crainbf Friederike on X: https://x.com/tw_tter Gnosis: https://gnosis.io/Sponsors: Gnosis: Gnosis has been building core decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem since 2015.

Ve svátečním speciálu se po roce objevil Lukáš, aby zvěstoval špatné zprávy. Za malé zásilky mířící do Evropské unie budeme platit víc. iRobot zpopularizoval domácí robotické vysavače, ale nedokázal se ubránit dravější konkurenci, takže vyhlásil bankrot. Firmu přebírají Číňané. Na Slovensku mají celosvětově třetí nejlepší mobilní sítě, zato Česko na žebříčku firmy nPerf skončilo čtrnácté. Výsledek to není tragický, ale pohled na drahé mobilní tarify nám náladu stejně nezlepší. Revolut v sousedním Polsku a ve Spojeném království spustil své služby a nabízí hodně muziky za málo peněz. V Polsku např. prodává 50 GB dat s neomezeným voláním za asi 150 korun. Jenže v Česku se podobně dobré nabídky pravděpodobně nedočkáme. Virtuální operátoři před lety sice situaci aspoň trochu zlepšili, ale síťoví operátoři jim nenabízejí takové podmínky, aby někdo nabídl 50 GB za 150 korun. Nečekáme to ani od Revolutu. V příštím roce pak budeme čelit řadě problémů včetně drahého hardwaru nebo snaze o zrušení soukromí na internetu. Nezapomeňte si také poslechnout rekapitulační Podcast Živě. V něm do detailu rozebíráme, v čem byl letošek hrozný a proč bude rok 2026 ještě horší. 01:13 – Příplatek za zásilky mimo EU 06:51 – iRobot vyhlásil bankrot 12:57 – Revolut uvádí levné mobilní tarify 22:44 – Obavy z roku 2026 23:33 – Slovensko má skvělá mobilní data 24:40 – Lukáš to má na másle
Note that this is from a video essay published on YouTube here.For over a year, I've been helping people send aid to Gaza via cryptocurrency because traditional banking systems have failed Palestinians. PayPal and GoFundMe freeze accounts, banks block transfers, and those that go through can take weeks or months. Cryptocurrency offers instant, censorship-resistant transfers that offer higher guarantees.This comprehensive guide covers three methods for sending crypto (SimpleSwap, Revolut, and zkP2P), how to avoid tax complications when fundraising, critical safety tips to prevent irreversible mistakes, and everything you need to know about wallets, networks, and the OTC desk system in Gaza.

În acest episod din VULNERABIL, stau de vorbă cu Angela Țiprigan — mamă, soție, bunică, străbunică și un mentor asemenea celui din Tit 2 pentru generația noastră și nu numai.Angela Țiprigan este una dintre acele voci care nu caută să impresioneze, ci să așeze adevărul în inimă. De peste patru decenii, slujește cu discreție și profunzime, vorbind și scriind despre viața trăită în lumina Scripturii — acolo unde credința se întâlnește cu realitatea de zi cu zi.Este autoarea mai multor cărți cu impact direct și practic, printre care „Pregătiri pentru Crăciun”, un volum care invită cititoarele, în special, să încetinească ritmul, să se așeze înaintea lui Dumnezeu și să redescopere esența unei sărbători adesea golite de sens. Scrisul dânsei conduce cu blândețe spre reflecție, pocăință și bucurie autentică.Astfel, în acest episod ți se va reaminti despre esența Crăciunului, așa cum o descoperim în Scriptură: despre întrupare, despre lupta nevăzută din spatele ieslei, despre Maria și Iosif, despre numele lui Isus care aduc pace, speranță și siguranță, dar și despre felul în care Crăciunul riscă, în următorii ani, să-și piardă întreaga esență și să fie redus la un fictiv Moș Crăciun.Acesta este un episod despre a primi, a păstra și a da mai departe MÂNTUIREA care S-A NĂSCUT la Betleem.____________Pe doamna ANGELA o găsești aici: Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/tiprigan.angela* Poți comanda direct de la ea cartea și setul de carduri cu întrebări.____________________Episodul de astăzi este susținut de HerTracker, prima aplicație de monitorizare a ciclului menstrual creată special pentru fete și femei creștine.
