Banking leaders know what needs to happen next in payments. They see the real problems: fragmented rails, compliance friction, the move to stablecoins as settlement. Last week in Kuala Lumpur, we brought together senior executives from the space's most forward-thinking institutions, alongside partners like Swift, Circle, and Cleanverse International, to go deep on exactly that. The leaders in the room didn't come to be told what's possible. They came to define it. The takeaway: real innovation in payments comes from the people solving the hardest problems. The banks leading in APAC are reshaping what that looks like. 👏 Avalon Ingram,Previn Pillay, Nathaniel Tan, Ceridwen Choo, Yogesh Sangle, Bikram Bajaj, Rohit Bammi

During his first month as Nium's VP of Digital Assets, Kuberan Marimuthu has been traveling across Asia to talk with PSPs and financial institutions. Three things have stood out regarding stablecoin adoption in the region: • 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗹𝘆𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗔𝘀𝗶𝗮. • 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻'𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘁𝗼𝗽-𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘀, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆'𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀'/𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀'/𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗿𝘀' 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱. • 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁.

I spent the last few weeks traveling across Asia meeting with PSPs and financial institutions alongside Prajit Nanu One pattern kept showing up: the stablecoin flywheel is starting to kick in. And I think there is a structural reason why we are seeing it so clearly across Asia and emerging markets. The U.S. has an enormous domestic economy. A large amount of economic activity can happen entirely within one country, one currency, and a highly developed domestic payment system. Across much of Asia and many emerging markets, businesses are international almost by default. Domestic markets are often smaller. Suppliers, customers, marketplaces, workers, and counterparties frequently sit in different countries. Money constantly needs to cross borders, move between currencies, and pass through multiple layers of financial infrastructure. That creates a much more immediate use case for stablecoins. What we are seeing is often not a company making a top-down decision to “adopt stablecoins.” It starts more organically: A customer, supplier, or partner pays in stablecoins. Now the PSP or financial institution has to figure out how to receive that value, route it through its existing payment flow, convert or settle into fiat where needed, and deliver the right currency at the other end. That capability then enables the next use case. And the next participant. That is the flywheel. Stablecoin adoption across Asia and emerging markets increasingly feels less like a speculative crypto trend and more like infrastructure being pulled into the market by the realities of cross-border commerce. This is also why I think Nium is in a particularly interesting position. Combining broad global fiat payment and licensing coverage with digital asset capabilities creates a bridge between the two worlds — allowing stablecoins to plug into existing payment flows rather than sit alongside them as a separate rail. As that bridge gets used in more corridors and more use cases, each integration can create demand for the next one. That could materially accelerate the stablecoin flywheel across Asia and emerging markets.

Earlier this month, Mesh CEO Bam Azizi hosted our CEO Prajit Nanu for a wide-ranging conversation on CEO Beat. Our favorite sound bite: "At Nium, we have a rule of thumb that we always buy things which our existing customers need vs. new customers." 🔥 Link to listen below.
Are stablecoin payments actually cheaper? On the latest CEO Beat, Nium CEO Prajit Nanu challenges one of crypto's biggest assumptions. Today, cross-border stablecoin payments still incur costs at every conversion — from fiat to stablecoins and back to local currency — meaning traditional payment infrastructure can still be competitive on price and speed in many corridors. But that raises the bigger question: is the long-term value of stablecoins in payments, treasury, or both? As adoption grows, do stablecoins remain invisible settlement rails, or do they become money people and businesses actually hold and spend?
