BVNK

Thanks to everyone who joined us at Currency Cape Town 2026 🇿🇦 Three days shaping how we think about payments, stablecoins, AI and fintech's future. A few themes that stood out: • It's the stablecoin summer: B2B payments and B2C payouts are booming. The next frontier is everyday usability for consumers. • AI requires culture, not hype. Build agile teams, test constantly, adapt. Durability comes from regulatory moats + speed + tech advantage. • Talent and world-class fintech come from everywhere - Egypt to Brazil to Africa. The next generation of founders is global. Look out for session videos dropping over the coming weeks if you missed it. Huge thanks to our speakers from BVNK, Circle, Tether.io, Stitch, Lead, DST Global, Prosus Ventures, TrueLayer, Lorum, Trace Finance, Thndr, Avenia, and Huddle. Special thanks to George Rzepecki and The Raba Partnership for co-hosting. BVNK was born in Cape Town – thanks for having us back. See you next time 🔥

BVNK's Chris Harmse sat down with FINTECH.TV's Remy Blaire last week to discuss our new research on stablecoin utility with YouGov, Coinbase & Artemis: "What we're seeing is demand outpaces access. People want to spend stablecoins on everyday things, but the infrastructure - the wallets, the integrations - hasn't caught up yet. These are financial products that banks and fintechs are well placed to bring to their customers." Watch the full interview: https://lnkd.in/ea5_yE_v

We surveyed 4,658 stablecoin holders and prospective users across 15 countries to understand how people really use stablecoins, beyond on-chain metrics. What emerged: willingness to use stablecoins is ahead of real-world spendability. 42% want to spend them on major purchases. 28% currently do. Meanwhile, 77% would open a stablecoin wallet if their primary bank or fintech app offered one. The next growth unlock is acceptance and integration. This is the largest user-focused study of stablecoin utility. 🔗 Get the full findings: bvnk.com/utility In partnership with YouGov, Coinbase and Artemis #StablecoinUtility
