What happens when the system we’ve trusted for decades quietly stops being enough?

I sat down with Marc Boiron, CEO of Polygon Labs, to explore a shift that feels bigger than technology. It’s about how money moves, who controls it, and what the future might look like when borders, delays, and intermediaries start to disappear.

Polygon didn’t begin as a payments company. But after moving over $2.3 trillion in stablecoin volume, the realization became clear: this isn’t just infrastructure, it’s the foundation of a new financial system.

We go deep into why payments became their focus, what the “open money stack” really means, and why the biggest barrier today isn’t speed or cost… it’s trust, regulation, and behavior.

If you care about the future of payments, this is one of those conversations that stays with you.
