In episode 13 of Money Code, hosts Chuk Okpalugo and Raj Parekh sit down with Daniel Vogel, CEO and Co-Founder of Bitso.

Daniel explains how stablecoins have quietly become core cross-border payment infrastructure in Latin America, how Bitso scaled to over $80B in annualized volume, and why local-currency stablecoins like MXNB and BRL1 are less about speculation and more about moving finance onchain.
