Beyond Banking Hours: Stablecoins as Settlement Infrastructure
Tue Dec 23 2025
Banking hours still shape how money moves — even in a digital economy.
In this episode, I sit down with Didier Lavallée, CEO of Tetra Digital Group, to unpack why stablecoins are emerging as settlement infrastructure, not speculative assets.
We discuss:
Why traditional payment and settlement rails stop at cut-off times
How stablecoins enable value transfer beyond banking hours
The role of regulated custody in institutional adoption
Where banks, fintechs, and platforms are actually leaning in
What this shift means for cross-border payments and enterprise finance
This conversation cuts through the hype and focuses on how stablecoins are quietly reshaping the plumbing of global finance.
