Why Enterprise Stablecoin Adoption Needs Terminals Not APIs

Host:

Drew Rogers, Founder and CEO

In this Stabledash Live interview from Stablecoin Conference LATAM 2025, we sit down with Tanner Taddeo, co-founder of Stable Sea, to explore how his team is tackling the massive underserved B2B stablecoin payment market.

Fresh out of Block where they built stablecoin infrastructure, Tanner reveals why large-ticket transactions ($500K-$10M+) still get routed to Telegram OTC desks, and how Stable Sea is building an Apple-like terminal experience to bring Fortune 500 companies onchain through treasury management and cash trap solutions.

Key Highlights:
- B2B payments represent 90% of the $195 trillion annual cross-border payment market
- Current problem: Transactions over $500K get kicked to manual Telegram OTC desks
- Stable Sea built a terminal product (not APIs) for treasurers and CFOs to use directly
- Two core use cases: Treasury movements (settlement speed matters) vs merchant payments (cost matters)
- Stablecoins excel in emerging markets but struggle to compete with wholesale FX in G20 corridors
- Cash trap solution: Helping multinational companies extract revenue stuck in countries with capital controls
- Vision: Become the "front door"for on-chain financial services (lending, RWAs, yield-bearing accounts)
- Team's go-to-market targets traditional industries, not crypto-native developers
- Strategy mirrors Square's "little white reader"playbook: Win one corridor, expand relationship over time
- Stable Sea raised seed round 4-5 months ago, business momentum exceeding expectations
