Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Future of Stablecoins: A New Era in Digital Payments
Q: When do you expect full-scale mainstream adoption of stable coins and autonomous agents using them?
Adoption will likely ramp up as Web3 scales and agentic payments become more practical, indicating a gradual, long-term shift rather than a quick splash.
The Future of Stablecoins: A New Era in Digital Payments
Q: How does your platform differ from existing offerings like those from traditional card networks?
Our platform acts as a middle layer that can work with any stablecoin and any blockchain, enabling fee splitting among multiple parties within a single payment.
The Future of Stablecoins: A New Era in Digital Payments
Q: Stablecoins have been touted as the answer to the new agentic payments. Is that something you're seeing a lot of actual progress in at the moment?
Yes, we are seeing progress as the ecosystem moves toward programmable money and stablecoins being used in payments, with the expectation that agentic payments will accelerate as platforms mature.
Transforming Justice: The Digital Revolution in Abu Dhabi
Q: What would your advice be if I'm thinking about coming to Abu Dhabi and the UAE from a legal perspective?
Have your contracts perfect and look at the benefits of the rule of law in the UAE.
