AtData has spent more than two decades building a business around that signal. Diarmuid explains why a long-standing email address reveals so much about a person, how it helps online lenders separate genuine customers from fraudulent applications, and what it is about a real email history that even sophisticated fraudsters find hard to fake. 

The conversation then turns to what AI changes and Diarmuid makes the case for what a fraudster still cannot easily replicate, and how long that advantage is likely to last.

The conversation centres on one idea: that stablecoins are becoming a world of many coins, currencies, and networks, and that this only works if someone can move value between them instantly, at a price that does not eat the savings.  

Cactus explains why the fragmentation of the stablecoin market creates a problem that payments companies and banks can no longer ignore, and what has to happen in seconds when a payment needs to settle in a coin, currency, or network the sender does not hold.

The conversation doesn't shy away from the harder questions: how an independent, focused player competes against global giants spending billions on the same problem, how much real payment volume is actually moving versus trading activity, and whether a product built around easier access to digital dollars is on a collision course with local regulators.

Stablecoins moved over 30 trillion dollars last year, rivaling Visa on raw volume, yet everyday payments made up only a small fraction of that. Raagulan unpacks what's standing in the way of stablecoins becoming genuinely everyday money, what KAST does differently from others in the market, and where the value behind its yield and cashback offers comes from.

The conversation centres on one idea: that Banking Circle is becoming genuine infrastructure for global payments, one bank and one currency connection at a time, and that owning the licenses and clearing access directly is what makes that hard to replicate. Mikkel walks through how growth actually happens when Banking Circle goes live in a new market, what sets direct clearing apart from firms pitching a single API for global money movement, and which of the world's biggest payment corridors still sit outside the bank's own rails. 

A candid, strategic look at what it actually takes to build payments infrastructure that lasts.
