Matt Johnson (MongoDB): Agentic Memory, Token Costs & Data-Layer Security
MongoDB principal technologist Matt Johnson, drawing on ~20 years in cybersecurity, explains his builder-relations-style role and what enterprises need to move AI agents from POC to production: agentic memory via vector search, better tool and data access, and cost management as usage scales. He predicts usage-based billing and routing between models by task complexity, and argues that agents with direct data access shift security controls into the data layer, covering least privilege, GDPR, and multi-tenant memory isolation. On the Mythos/Fable release, he says core cyber hygiene still applies and that the security conversation returning to the boardroom is a positive.
Shah Ramezani (Noah): Stablecoin Rails, Agentic Payments & the Future of Banks
Noah.com founder Shah Ramezani explains his stablecoin infrastructure company, which abstracts compliance, liquidity, and integrations so customers can move dollars into local currencies like naira or pounds instantly and at near-zero cost. He likens correspondent banking to old telecom call routing, contrasts SWIFT messaging with stablecoins' simultaneous messaging and settlement, and cites stablecoin market cap growth from $5B in 2020 to $330B (with Citi predicting $4T by 2030) plus US regulatory clarity as drivers of institutional adoption. He also covers Europe's consumer-protection-first regulation, an upcoming agentic-payments partnership built on smart wallets, banks like JP Morgan settling internally with stablecoins, building globally, Joe Lonsdale's investment via his Adyen co-founder connection, and plans toward tokenized bonds and dollar access for emerging markets.
