Off the rails from the U.S.

Faster Payments Council.

Thanks, Reid.

It's great to be here.

Sure.

I'm an independent consultant who focuses on payment market strategy for fintechs and banks.

And I've been in the industry for about 25 years, got my start doing research and

and also worked at FIS doing market strategy for them.

All right.

And you're an active member of our work groups.

Yeah, obviously stable coins are of a very high interest for a lot of the members right now.

And we have two work groups, the cross-border payments work group and the digital assets work group that intersect along these lines because we think that cross-border payments is one of the early use cases for stable coins.

So we've decided to do a collaborative subgroup that I co-lead with Jonathan Holland of MasterCard that will look at producing some blogs and other materials

specifically on the intersection there.

And so we've been working for a few weeks at devising an outline and figuring out what exactly we're going to write about that will be a new and novel contribution to the discussion.

Sure.

So one of the things that we've been talking about a lot is that people don't really understand how stable coins work on a fundamental level.

Like what's the process flow?

How do you get a stable coin?

How do you spend it?
