Everyone said it wouldn't work - now 1,000+ companies run on his stablecoin rails | Eric Barbier

The future of payments is stablecoin.

In today’s episode I sat down with Eric Barbier, Founder & CEO of Triple-A. The stablecoin infrastructure behind Grab, Farfetch, and 1,000+ enterprises across 120 countries. He’s a founder with a solid track record: Two exits. Three companies. Twenty years building global payments.

We talked about the year his father lost his job, and what that did to him long before he ever became a founder. About what stablecoins actually solve, and where the hype ends and the real work begins. About the pain of letting go after an exit, and why his sweet spot has always been zero to one.
