At Money 20/20 Europe, Ran Goldi, SVP of Payments at Fireblocks, unpacks the State of Stablecoins 2025 report and shares practical advice for PSPs exploring blockchain-based payments.
In this video interview, Goldi explains why stablecoins are more than a buzzword—they’re ‘another payments rail… an infrastructure upgrade to whatever it is we have today’. Fireblocks now works with 300+ payment firms worldwide, and its latest survey shows 90 % of 300 financial institutions are already strategising, running POCs, or rolling out stablecoin solutions. Regulatory anxiety has plummeted, with concerns dropping from 84 % two years ago to just 18 % today.
Goldi’s guidance for newcomers is blunt: ‘First of all, don’t believe the hype… If you go on LinkedIn today, it seems like stablecoins maybe can cure cancer, right? It’s not. Sometimes PIX is better —choose the right rail for the job.’
He recommends a staged path ‘from crypto‑remote to crypto‑inside’, starting with trusted partners and gradually bringing the infrastructure in‑house. Champions in the space care less about cost and more about ‘that velocity of money’.
Beyond speed and savings, programmability is the real game‑changer: ‘We can say, only move my dollars to Mexican pesos if the rate is underneath that specific rate. That’s just one example’.
The panel Goldi joined at Money 20/20 concluded that every company needs a stablecoin strategy. Remote.com already pays 1 % of its global freelancers in stablecoins—and wishes the figure were higher—while shielding users from the technical jargon of USDC vs USDT.
Watch the full interview to hear exactly how stablecoins are reshaping cross‑border payments, B2B flows, and corporate treasuries—and what your first steps should be.
