🎙️ PayPod Episode: Blockchain Money Transfer Tools for Finance Leaders to Cut FX Costs Globally with Kevin Lehtiniitty of Borderless.xyz
April 2025
In this episode of the PayPod podcast, Kevin Lehtiniitty, CEO of Borderless.xyz, joins host Kevin Rosenquist to explore how stablecoins are revolutionizing cross-border payments. From inflation-ridden economies to the challenges of legacy banking, Kevin shares how Borderless.xyz is building a global, non-custodial stablecoin network that connects regulated financial institutions—without holding user funds.
He recounts the personal moment that pulled him into crypto (a rejected Bitcoin transaction), the launch of TrueUSD, and why he believes stablecoins—not Bitcoin—will lead the charge in real-world financial utility. This episode dives into the intersection of compliance and innovation, and why stablecoins are emerging as financial lifelines in underserved markets.
🚀 Key highlights include:
Why algorithmic tokens aren’t real stablecoins
How Borderless.xyz orchestrates payments without being a bank
The rise of stablecoin neobanks across LATAM and Africa
Stablecoins as tools for dollar access in inflationary economies
CBDCs, government control, and the future of digital currency policy
The regulatory shift from debanking to proactive compliance
