How FinTechs Are Deploying Stablecoins in One Week

In this episode of Stableminded, Drew sits down with Rodri Fernández Touza, Co-founder of Crossmint, to explore how traditional FinTech companies are scrambling to integrate stablecoins—and why some are going from first contact to production in a single week.

With MoneyGram's recent launch and multiple Fortune 500 companies building in stealth, Rodri reveals the infrastructure race happening behind closed doors. He also shares Crossmint's early moves into agentic commerce, where AI agents hold wallets and make autonomous purchases—something his team has been building for over a year.

Rodri shares:

- How one company processing "thousands of billions a year"went from first call Thursday to production POC by Friday
- Why MoneyGram's stablecoin remittance flow is transforming financial access for billions in emerging markets
- Real examples of agentic commerce: Crossmint's internal Slack bot autonomously ordering office supplies, booking flights, managing procurement
- The compliance crisis no one's talking about: over 80% of crypto applications illegally engaging in money transmission without knowing it
Why most companies confuse custodial vs. non-custodial architectures (and why it matters legally)
- A major government stablecoin use case launching soon that will "blow people's minds"
- The six segments seeing the most stablecoin activity: remittances, neobanks, payroll, telecom, marketplaces, and PSPs

Whether you're a FinTech company evaluating stablecoin integration, building agent-based commerce applications, or trying to understand why enterprise urgency has reached unprecedented levels, this episode delivers crucial insights into what's actually being built right now.
