Gui Gomes, CEO of OranjeBTC, joins host Aaron Stanley to discuss his company's mission to become Latin America's leading Bitcoin adoption catalyst following their recent listing on Brazil's B3 exchange.
Gomes brings a unique perspective shaped by his time at Bridgewater Associates, where working alongside Ray Dalio on global economic power shifts crystallized his conviction that Bitcoin represents the future of reserve currencies.
He outlines OranjeBTC's dual mandate: building the region's largest Bitcoin treasury while delivering comprehensive education to investors at all levels. The company is actively accumulating Bitcoin through weekly purchases and exploring various capital instruments to grow their holdings, similar to strategies pioneered by MicroStrategy.
Gomes shares his vision for Brazil's potential as an early Bitcoin adopter among major economies, arguing that the country's 215 million people could set a transformative example for emerging markets navigating the transition toward digital, decentralized monetary systems.

David Taylor is the co-founder of Etherfuse. He joins host Aaron Stanley to discuss his mission to bring tokenized sovereign debt on-chain for emerging markets.
Etherfuse is building infrastructure to issue interest-bearing stablecoins backed by short-term government treasuries, providing what Taylor calls the missing primitive in crypto: a true risk-free rate that traditional finance relies on as a baseline for all other investments.
Drawing on his background in cryptography at Boeing and Apple, Taylor explains how his experience building payment infrastructure revealed the fundamental limitations of traditional finance systems.
The conversation explores Etherfuse's focus on non-US markets where regulatory clarity is stronger, their approach to mitigating sovereign and smart contract risks through continuous third-party audits, and why they view tokenized debt as the AWS-level infrastructure needed to properly bridge national currencies to blockchain and unlock the next generation of DeFi products.

This episode is a live panel from Stellar's Meridian 2025 conference at Copacabana Palace in Rio de Janeiro. The panel, hosted by BCR founder Aaron Stanley, explores stablecoin adoption for local solutions in emerging markets.
Joining him are:
- Sebastian Siseles, CEO of Vesseo
- Ibrahim Abdul Hussein, CEO, Digibank
- Camila Rioja, Executive Director of Plexus Institute
- Justin Norman, founder of The Flip
The conversation reveals that successful crypto adoption hinges on deep localization rather than technological sophistication.
- Ibrahim shares how Digibank created a 2,000+ location cash-out network across war-torn MENA regions where traditional remittance services don't exist, serving users who may not even own smartphones.
- Camila discusses bringing Brazil's 180+ existing community currencies on-chain to enhance transparency in public goods distribution without disrupting established systems.
- Sebastian explains how Vesseo abstracts blockchain complexity entirely, soon launching crypto-to-fiat cards that convert USDC at point-of-sale.
The panel's consensus: the most impactful projects hide the technology, solve hyper-local problems, and meet users within their existing financial behaviors rather than demanding adoption of entirely new paradigms

Raagulan Pathy is CEO of KAST. He joins host Aaron Stanley to discuss his stablecoin neobank that has achieved remarkable traction across emerging markets in a short period.
KAST serves as a bank-like platform for crypto-native users and global remote workers, allowing them to deposit stablecoins and crypto, earn yield, and spend through cards worldwide. Pathy revealed that KAST has reached 500,000 app downloads with exceptional user engagement metrics - 64% weekly active users and 30% daily active users - while growing 20% monthly and processing over $20 million in volume within 14 months.
The platform targets four key customer segments: crypto natives, stablecoin-first users from the Global South, remote workers, and mobile affluent individuals who operate across multiple countries. Latin America represents roughly 30% of KAST's global business, with Brazil being a particularly strong market due to locals seeking global banking alternatives and strong brand affinity for premium crypto products.

Brazil's Central Bank shocked the market by removing blockchain from its signature Drex CBDC project and pivoting to a simpler vision. After driving Brazil's blockchain adoption for years, is this a rug pull or an opportunity for private sector leadership?
Host Aaron Stanley is joined by Gustavo Cunha (Fintrender CEO, former banking executive) and Marcos Sarres (GoLedger CEO, Hyperledger specialist) to unpack this pivotal moment.
We explore why Ethereum's privacy challenges, extended development timelines, and multi-bank coordination proved too complex, plus the broader factors including US stablecoin trends and Central Bank leadership changes.
Despite the apparent setback, DREX transformed Brazil's financial landscape - major banks now have 20-30 person blockchain teams and multiple tokenization projects are launching. The key question: who will fill the leadership vacuum and drive Brazil's tokenized future forward?

In November 2022, his on-chain analytical sleuthing gave the world, for the first time, a complete picture of the fraud that had been occurring between FTX and Alameda Research - entities that were both controlled by Sam Bankman-Fried.
Lucas and host Aaron Stanley go behind the scenes of his groundbreaking research that revealed $4 billion in commingled funds between FTX and Alameda, providing the first public evidence of systematic fraud.
From receiving hundreds of desperate messages from FTX users to working with prosecutors, Lucas shares the personal toll of being on the front lines during crypto's darkest hour. We explore how traditional due diligence failed, why proof of reserves could prevent future collapses, and the lessons learned from SBF's spectacular fall
