Kevin Lehtiniitty talks to Fintech TV about how stablecoins are rewiring cross-border payments

Stablecoins are rapidly moving from the crypto world into everyday payments, with monthly stablecoin spending and crypto card usage reaching record levels. Kevin Lehtiniitty, CEO of Borderless.xyz, joins us to explain how stablecoins are being used in the real world—from giving consumers in emerging markets easier access to U.S. dollars to helping businesses make faster, more efficient cross-border payments. Borderless.xyz describes itself as a stablecoin payments network, with Lehtiniitty listed as its CEO. Kevin breaks down why stablecoins can transform treasury management by reducing the amount of capital businesses need to keep sitting in pre-funded accounts. Instead of maintaining several days of liquidity across different markets, companies can use stablecoins to replenish payment balances much faster, potentially reducing the cost of idle capital and making cross-border settlement more efficient. The conversation also explores how Borderless.xyz is building connectivity between stablecoins, banks and local payment rails across global markets. Kevin discusses the company’s Mastercard pilot and why governance, compliance, data and operational tooling could be just as important as the underlying technology as stablecoin payments scale. The broader goal is to make global payments easier to launch and operate without requiring companies to build dozens of separate integrations.
