The banking rails we all use were built for the 1970s yet money now moves at internet speed. In this episode of Colors of Web3 & Entrepreneurship, Stables co-founder & CEO Bernie Bilotta explains how his team is building a mobile-first stablecoin bank that lets anyone hold a “digital dollar,” send it globally, and spend it at 140M+ merchants with a card while abstracting away chains, gas, and wallet complexity. He argues Visa/Mastercard won’t kill stablecoins they’ll accelerate them and predicts a future where QR-based, 24/7 payments pressure banks to modernize.
Bernie walks through a live demo, shares traction, and discusses the rise of yield-bearing stablecoins and why a “one balance that goes up in real time” could unlock mass adoption. We also cover his fintech path, compliance headaches, competitors (Revolut/Wise), and founder lessons: play long-term games with long-term people.
