In this episode, we’re joined by Eric Queathem, founder and CEO of Velocity, a stablecoin treasury and settlement platform backed by Visa, Circle, and Ripple, and former global strategy and growth lead at WorldPay. Eric explains why the back end of payments has seen almost no innovation despite 15 years of investment in the category, why stablecoin businesses are only as strong as their underlying fiat network, and how faster settlement unlocks real capital efficiency for everyone from OTC desks to low-margin airlines. We get into why Velocity takes a low-code, meet-people-where-they-are approach rather than ripping out legacy treasury systems, what the BVNK and Bridge exits actually reveal about where value sits in stablecoin infrastructure, and why FX parity with fiat could still be a decade away outside the majors.
We also cover Velocity’s new partnership with Cross Cross to expand into Africa’s fragmented but fast-growing financial market, the slow but real corporate appetite for on-chain yield instruments, why tokenized deposits solve a different problem than stablecoins, and what’s really behind skepticism from regulators like Singapore’s MAS. Eric closes with his honest advice for any CFO considering stablecoin adoption: use it for your own treasury first, and always ask who actually holds title to your assets.
