Money Code Stablecoins Are Becoming Everyday Money w/ Chris Harmse and Anthony Yim
Presented by Stablecon; Powered by BVNK.
In episode 20 of Money Code, hosts Chuk Okpalugo and Raj Parekh are joined by Chris Harmse, Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer at BVNK, and Anthony Yim, Co-Founder and CTO at Artemis. They dive into BVNK and Artemis’ new YouGov survey on stablecoin usage to show how demand for “normal payments” is outpacing real-world access, and why the next adoption wave is less about ideology and more about embedding stablecoin rails into the fintech apps people already trust.
