Eric Quetham (Velocity): Stablecoin Infrastructure for Global CFOs
After technical difficulties getting the first guest of 2026 on stream, the hosts interview Eric Quetham, founder and CEO of Velocity. He recounts his Worldpay career and explains why he built stablecoin infrastructure for global CFOs across three product lines: payments, treasury management, and the back end of payments. He says the Stripe-Bridge deal was the wake-up call in 2025, Velocity raised $18M in its first eight months with private equity firms now inbound, and his thesis is that value in the stablecoin stack flips from issuers to those orchestrating chains, stablecoins, risk and compliance.
