Payments are often more than a product feature.
💡This is a must read for finance teams, product leads and founders.
Most teams “integrate payments” after the product works. That's fine if payments are incidental.
But if you’re building stablecoin rails, on/offramps, B2B cross-border, payroll, or treasury infrastructure, the payment flow is the primary workflow.
Your differentiation is coverage, reliability, unit economics, and compliance posture. Not UI.
In this article, you’ll learn:
🔹Why early infrastructure is a key product decision
🔹How compliance architecture relates to product positioning
🔹How your treasury/liquidity design determines speed, FX and working capital needs

The agentic economy could reach $450B by 2028, according to @Capgemini.
What's exciting is: stablecoins are the internet-native cash that allows agents to transact with the real world.

The rise of stablecoins isn't a complete success.
🔹 On the on hand, you have a cryptocurrency segment worth hundreds of billions in market cap, and trillions in annual tx volume.
🔸 On the other hand, when you ask any company when they last paid with stablecoins, they'll probably look at you confused.
→ The truth is: the desire to use stablecoins is orders of magnitude higher than the actual usage.
Why? Because stablecoin adoption is being slowed down by operational friction: treasury and payroll management, payments, compliance...
Businesses want stablecoins' speed and cost-efficiency. But they also want their operating cash to be universally accepted, easy and safe to use.
Only when this gap gets closed, will businesses truly be empowered to use stablecoins.
