Presented by Stablecon; Powered by BVNK.
In this episode of Money Code, hosts Chuk Okpalugo and Raj Parekh talk with Miles Suter, Bitcoin product lead at Block, about Cash App's new stablecoin experience and Block's long-running push to make Bitcoin everyday money.
Miles explains why stablecoins now belong inside the same Cash App dollar balance as ACH and wires, why more than 40% of Lightning payments are being funded by dollars, and how Lightning could become the "global lingua franca" connecting stablecoins, Bitcoin, and merchants.
