Stripe Is Too Slow for Today’s Marketplaces - Daniel Lev (CEO, Coinflow)
Stablecoins are often presented as a new way for consumers to pay. Daniel Lev believes their bigger opportunity lies behind the payment experience, connecting cards, bank accounts, wallets and local payment networks.
In this episode of the WRAP UP podcast, I sit down with Daniel, Co-founder and CEO of Coinflow, to discuss how stablecoins can work as invisible payment infrastructure.
Daniel explains how a US customer can pay a UK merchant by card while Coinflow uses stablecoins to settle the transaction across borders. The merchant receives the money in around five seconds and can convert it into pounds without managing stablecoins directly.
Coinflow processes billions of dollars annually for marketplaces, remittance providers, gaming companies, e-commerce merchants and other businesses with complex flows of funds. We discuss the economics of faster settlement, including its impact on FX, payouts and reconciliation.
Daniel also compares Coinflow with Stripe. While Stripe added stablecoins to infrastructure built on traditional financial rails, Coinflow uses stablecoins and public blockchains as its core settlement layer. Daniel argues that this enables businesses to receive money in seconds rather than waiting one to three days.
We also explore why merchants and consumers may never need to know stablecoins are involved. They can simply see, withdraw and use their balance while the underlying infrastructure remains invisible.

The Payments Revenue Software Companies Are Missing - Ben Weiner (Global Head of Partner Channel, Nuvei)
Software companies have spent years embedding payments, yet many still earn nothing from transactions flowing through their existing customer base. Could that be their biggest missed opportunity?
In this episode of the WRAP UP podcast, I sit down with Ben Weiner, Global Head of Partner Channel at Nuvei, to explore where payments growth comes from as AI changes the software business.
Ben explains why winning new customers with payments built in is only part of the job. He says sophisticated software vendors attach payments to 80–100% of new customers, while older customers often remain on separate providers. Reaching that installed base requires a clear reason to switch, better reconciliation and someone internally accountable for adoption.
We also discuss:
Where AI creates value today: Faster development can make previously difficult integrations viable, helping software companies reach customers they could not serve economically before.
Why the system of record matters: The software holding invoices and business data remains a strong starting point for payment adoption, even as AI changes the interface.
Choosing payment partners: Ben makes the case for one primary strategic provider and a secondary option, explaining how too many integrations can fragment development efforts.
The B2B opportunity: Conflicting payment preferences and complex remittance information still create friction between buyers and suppliers. Ben identifies small and medium-sized manufacturers as a particularly underserved market.
I also challenge Ben on whether AI companies will build their own payment infrastructure, and we discuss why trust and unresolved liability could slow the move towards fully autonomous purchases.

AI Agents Will Change How We Work and Get Paid - Eynat Guez (CEO, Papaya Global)
What happens when AI agents become part of the workforce? Will companies eventually pay taxes on AI agents? And could stablecoins replace traditional banking infrastructure for global payroll?
In this episode of the WRAP UP podcast, I sit down with Eynat Guez, CEO and co-founder of Papaya Global, to discuss how artificial intelligence and stablecoins are reshaping global employment, payroll and cross-border payments.
Papaya Global has evolved from a workforce management platform into a global payments business processing close to $50 billion annually, according to Eynat.
She shares how Papaya has reduced its human marketing team by roughly half while tripling its use of AI agents. She also predicts that employees will soon manage multiple AI agents and that governments could eventually introduce taxes based on AI token consumption.
We explore why Eynat still refuses to give AI agents direct access to payment systems, despite her confidence in the technology.
The conversation then turns to stablecoins. Eynat explains why Papaya is already using stablecoin rails to move money internationally and predicts that demand for stablecoin payments could reach 30–40% within two years.
In this episode, we discuss:
How AI agents could reshape employment and hiring by 2030.
Why Papaya Global reduced its marketing headcount while increasing AI adoption.
Whether governments will start taxing AI agents.
Why AI agents still cannot be fully trusted to execute payments.
How stablecoins are changing global payroll and treasury operations.
Papaya Global's Banco offering and its vision of becoming a new bank for the workforce.
How Papaya's partnership with eToro brings savings and investment options to workers.
Why the future workforce could involve people working for five or ten companies simultaneously.
