Presented by Stablecon; Powered by BVNK.
In this episode of Money Code, hosts Chuk Okpalugo and Raj Parekh sit down with Mark Frey, Group President of Corpay Cross-Border Solutions, which moves money to almost 200 countries in 145 currencies, and Keith Vander Leest, US General Manager at BVNK, fresh off the two companies launching embedded stablecoin wallets for Corpay's corporate clients.
They unpack why cost "is not really a big driver" for stablecoin adoption when in-country payments already cost pennies, why the real prize is moving trapped liquidity 24/7 after wire cutoffs, and why "no one's really asking for stablecoins" even as providers route more volume onto them.
