The Missing Layer in Stablecoin Infrastructure

In this episode of Stable Pulse: CEO Beat, host Bam Azizi sits down with Nassim Eddequiouaq, Co-founder & CEO of Bastion, to explore what it really takes to make stablecoins ready for mainstream adoption. Drawing on his experience at Apple, Anchorage, and Meta's Libra and Novi projects, Nassim explains why trust, security, and regulatory infrastructure matter just as much as blockchain technology. He breaks down the challenges of custody, liability, and enterprise adoption, and why regulated infrastructure is essential for businesses building with stablecoins. The conversation also explores real-world use cases beyond remittances, including treasury management, cross-border payments, trapped liquidity, and moving money 24/7. Nassim shares why increasing the amount of time value stays onchain, instead of constantly moving back to traditional banking rails, could become one of the industry's most important measures of success.
