"The world is about to become a lot more adversarial."
Economist and Lightspark co-founder @ccatalini says AI is about to break the assumptions that payment systems were built on.
On the newest episode of The Stable Pulse: Policy Beat, Justin Friedman sits down with Christian Catalini to unpack how the regulatory white space around agentic payments is colliding with the maturing environment for stablecoins — and why verification and trust will become the most important layer of infrastructure in e-commerce.

🚨 BREAKING
Payments giants are going all-in on stablecoins.
@Visa, @Mastercard, @Stripe, and possibly @Coinbase are reportedly backing a new stablecoin platform launching soon.
💳 This comes as all three have made major stablecoin moves:
- Stripe's acquisition of @Stablecoin for $1.1B
- Mastercard's acquisition of @BVNKFinance
- Visa's expanded settlement support across 9 blockchains.
The race to own stable payments infrastructure is on.
Come hear from all three at @TheStablecon.
🚨@Mastercard just announced support for on-chain settlement using regulated stablecoins including USDC, PYUSD, USDG, USDP, RLUSD, and SoFiUSD.
Combined with expanded intraday, weekend, and holiday settlement windows, the move gives issuers and acquirers more flexibility to move money beyond traditional banking hours.
This isn't a pilot.
It's one of the world's largest payments companies bringing stablecoins into the infrastructure that powers global money movement.
The conversation is no longer whether stablecoins will be adopted. It's how quickly.
That's why the industry's biggest builders, regulators, financial institutions, and infrastructure providers are gathering at Stablecon USA this September.

“Stablecoins are going to become a thing, and we need to get a strategy around it.”
Coincidence? We think not!
That was @kmgrose, UK CEO of @coinbase, on stage at @sxsw London alongside TWIF COO @dsem221 discussing the growing role of stablecoins in payments.
And today, Coinbase announced a partnership with @Checkout that will bring stablecoin acceptance to eligible merchants across its network of more than 1,000 enterprise customers.
For an industry that has spent the past year talking about stablecoin adoption, this is what it looks like in practice.
Another step towards stablecoins becoming part of mainstream payments and financial infrastructure.
"It doesn't really get much more mainstream in payments than Mastercard." Emma Mayer, CMO, @BVNKFinance.
How much has the stablecoin conversation changed in the past year?
Emma Mayer reflected on the industry's journey from experimentation to real-world adoption, and why stablecoins are increasingly becoming part of the mainstream payments conversation.
From fintech and payments to financial infrastructure, adoption continues to accelerate.
