PODCAST: HOW STRIPE'S TEMPO IS REBUILDING ON-CHAIN CASH SETTLEMENT, WITH HEAD OF MARKET DEVELOPMENT SIMON TAYLOR (45 MINUTE PODCAST)

Summary from the TLDR Fintech newsletter

This podcast discusses why there is no Fedwire for the internet, and why the next wave of on-chain volume is coming from enterprise money movers like Deel rather than crypto-native builders. Simon Taylor explains why tokenized deposits, stablecoins, and TradFi settlement will converge on a single chain, why agentic commerce is still stuck in its WAP-phone era, and how the Machine Payments Protocol is being designed as an IETF-grade standard that can settle across Tempo, Stripe, or any card network.
