We’re supporting settlement with @Circle’s USDC, @Paxos-issued stablecoins including USDG,USDP and @PayPal’s PYUSD, @Ripple’s RLUSD and @SoFi’s SoFiUSD across a range of supported blockchain networks including Arbitrum, @Coinbase’s Base, @CantonNetwork’s Canton, Ethereum, @0xPolygon, @Solana, @Tempo and XRPL. ARQ Finance, CBW Bank, @crossriverbank, @Lead_Bank and @Nuvei will be among the first to support.

In this episode of the WRAP UP Podcast, I sat down with @BunitaSawhney, Chief Consumer Product Officer at @Mastercard, to reflect on how consumer payments are changing beneath the surface.
What stood out most from our conversation is that the future of payments may not be defined by a single new rail or feature, but by how trust, control, and simplicity come together in a more complex world. Consumers want speed, but they also want confidence. They want personalization, but without losing privacy. They want more choice, but without more friction.
We explored why contactless still feels like the benchmark experience, where QR can create friction, and why many markets are still catching up. We also discussed a bigger shift now emerging: AI moving from assistant to decision-maker. As agents begin to help people shop and pay, the real challenge becomes less about technology itself and more about intent, accountability, and who consumers trust to act on their behalf.
Another idea that stayed with me was the move toward a single intelligent credential connected to multiple funding sources. Not just a better payment tool, but a simpler financial experience built around how people actually live.
My biggest takeaway: the best payment experiences are often invisible to the user, but incredibly intentional underneath.
If you’re curious about where payments, AI, and consumer behavior are heading next, I think you’ll enjoy this conversation.
