From MoneyGram to Mercado Libre: How Stablecoins Are Changing Payments

In this debut episode of Stable Coins Unpegged, Teresa and Max explore how stablecoins are transforming cross-border payments and setting the stage for the future of digital finance.

We break down Remitly’s integration of stablecoins and what it means for the remittance industry, compare Remitly vs. MoneyGram, and discuss how wallets in Latin America could plug into e-commerce giants like Mercado Libre and VTEX.

The conversation also dives into BVNK’s push for embedded wallet infrastructure and why stablecoin-powered ecosystems could extend beyond payments into savings, lending, supply chains, and loyalty programs.

Whether you’re an investor, founder, or policymaker, this episode delivers a front-row look at how stablecoins are unpegging finance from legacy rails — and where the next wave of opportunity lies.

Key Topics:

How stablecoins make remittances faster, cheaper, and more transparent
Why Remitly may be ahead of MoneyGram in digital-first adoption
The role of wallets in e-commerce across Latin America
BVNK’s embedded wallet strategy and its broader implications
