Stevan, Squads CEO, on Altitude, Stablecoins & Agentic Finance
Squads co-founder and CEO Stevan describes the company's two arcs: a crypto operating system securing about $10B in assets and $2B in stablecoins, and Altitude, a financial operating system letting traditional businesses run payroll and vendor payments on stablecoins. He explains why blockchains' deterministic execution pairs well with AI agents for trust, how early customers already used the product like a business bank account, and where the space is heading — agentic finance, DeFi yield, and RWA tokenization under the US clarity act.
