Eric Quatham (Velocity): Stablecoin Infrastructure for Global CFOs
After audio troubleshooting, the hosts welcome Eric, founder and CEO of Velocity and the first guest of 2026. Eric recounts his career at Worldpay and explains why he built a stablecoin infrastructure platform aimed at global CFOs, breaking down three product lines: cross-border payments, treasury management for companies with thousands of bank accounts, and the back end of payments. He credits the Stripe-Bridge acquisition with waking the market up, says Velocity raised $18M in roughly eight months with private equity firms now inbound, and predicts stablecoin economics will shift value from issuers toward the orchestration layer.
