What happens when every bank, fintech, and enterprise launches its own stablecoin?

In this episode of the WRAP UP Podcast, I sit down with Sam Broner, the CEO of The Better Money Company, a former investor at Andreessen Horowitz, and a former engineer at Microsoft, to discuss why he left venture capital to build a stablecoin company.

Sam is building what he calls a stablecoin clearinghouse infrastructure that allows banks, fintechs, and payment companies to swap between stablecoins at guaranteed 1:1 pricing, without relying on thin market liquidity or costly trading venues.

We discuss:

- Why stablecoin infrastructure has been built primarily for trading, not payments

- How a stablecoin clearinghouse works

- Why large companies are launching custom branded stablecoins

- The economics behind stablecoin issuance

- Stablecoins vs CBDCs

- Why stablecoins may become the default payment rail for AI agents

- What Sam learned moving from investor to founder

One of the most important takeaways from this conversation is that the future of money may look less like a handful of dominant stablecoins and more like thousands of interoperable digital dollars issued by banks, fintechs, and enterprises. Better Money Company is building the infrastructure to make that possible.
