Head of Crypto Labs at Visa and host at Tokenized, @cuysheffield said that AI agents are expanding freelance workβ£
β£
"If the task or the work that you need done is only worth a dollar, it's not worth that time. The cost of coordination is too high."β£
β£
"Most traditional freelancer platforms, there's no way you could pay a dollar from The US to Argentina. That just wouldn't be an economical transaction to make."β£
β£
"If you have agents start to reduce that coordination cost, is there a world where there are tasks that weren't economical to outsource before that now are?"β£
β£
"If you have Stablecoins, maybe that task is 10 cents or a dollar, but you can pay them across the world."β£
β£
Agents lower the cost of writing and filling a brief. Stablecoins lower the cost of paying for it. Together they push the minimum viable freelance task from ten dollars down toward ten cents.β£

Host @sytaylor on Brazil using Pix to protect payment sovereigntyβ£
β£
"Brazil has been remarkably effective at protecting its payment sovereignty to some extent."β£
β£
"Several times, the mighty Meta has been switched off from Pix because it didn't play by the rules effectively enough through WhatsApp, and WhatsApp was having too many scams and things of that nature."β£
β£
"So as a policy instrument, a really effective, really cheap RTP system is probably one of the best things you can do."β£
β£
"Brazil's Central Bank did finalize a rule in August 2026 requiring VASPs to hold crypto and stablecoin transfers above $10,000 for up to twenty four hours."β£
β£
"If you're only seeing the PIX transaction coming into the bank, you don't see that there was a stablecoin and then there was a UPI transaction on the other side."β£
β£
The hold targets the exact gap regulators cannot see through, a domestic RTP leg masking a cross border stablecoin transfer on the other side.β£
β£
π Listen to the latest episode on Tokenizedpod(dot)com
CEO, @dLocalPayments, Pedro Arnt on why instant payments still need trapped liquidityβ£
β£
"A lot of the way that we secure speed is by having liquidity available across all the corridors we need to serve."β£
β£
"That gets incredibly inefficient from a yield perspective because lots of times you're either having to pay hedges because you're needing to hold things in local currency."β£
β£
"Unbelievably so in 2026, many, many exchange and forex markets don't work over the weekend, let alone late night."β£
β£
"If I can somehow quickly go into a tokenized t bill and start earning yield even before the expatriation occurs physically back to The US."β£
β£
Treasury teams prefund corridors to buy speed, and that cash sits non yield bearing until tokenized instruments let it earn while still in transit.β£
β£
π Listen to the latest episode on Tokenizedpod(dot)com
Host @Tokenizedpod and Head of Visa Crypto Labs, @cuysheffield talks about the stablecoin sandwich and the sovereignty tradeoffβ£
β£
"Stablecoins are the closest thing we have to a path to link together RTP networks."β£
β£
"Being able to do that stablecoin sandwich flow where it's RTP domestic, stablecoin cross border, convert to RTP, I think that makes a ton of sense."β£
β£
"There are these barriers of licensing and FX. I feel like those have been the sticking points of why that hasn't scaled to be the majority of cross border flows."β£
β£
"If stablecoins are coming in and they're not being converted back into pics, then it's kind of potential dollarization."β£
β£
"How do you balance the potential to grow your RTP system versus protecting your monetary sovereignty, which it seems like that's still something that hasn't fully been adjudicated."β£
β£
A regulator watching stablecoins flow through their RTP system can't yet tell if they're building adoption or losing currency control.β£

Host @sytaylor says that deepfake job interviews act as an attack vectorβ£
β£
"There were so many deepfake job interviews, there's an absolute epidemic of them going on right now."β£
β£
"It's such a good entry point into a company because I can send you a CV. I can send you a bit of working code to prove something on a GitHub repo, and then boom, the exploit's in."β£
β£
"So you gotta be super mindful of your hiring process, and that's normally not where you think security historically."β£
β£
A fake CV and a working GitHub repo are now enough to get someone through a Zoom interview and inside the company.β£

Payments are about to follow the same path trading did.
When trading went programmatic:
Fewer, bigger trades β smaller, constant trades
Our founder and CEO, @PeteCooling, sees the same shift coming for money: small, constant payments streamed at high speed.

I recently talked about my thesis on High-Frequency Payments on @TokenizedPod. Hereβs a deeper dive into where I see the future of payments going.
atum.xyz/insights/the-age-ofβ¦
CEO, @dLocalPayments, Pedro Arnt said AI will create winners and losers in freelance workβ£
β£
"The other corner of the market is the one where it'll be even easier to just build an agent that actually can carry out in a highly efficient fashion the work that you were outsourcing to the global South because the cost of labor is cheaper or whatnot."β£
β£
"Winners, losers, dislocation of where value is created, dislocation of where profit pools are."β£
β£
"Value will be, I think, created. Markets will be expanded in some corners of the economy. And in others, for better or worse, I think they will be agentified."β£
β£
"And so it will no longer be a human behind that."β£
β£
Some corners of the labour market grow. Others get replaced outright by an agent doing the same work for less.β£

Co-Founder & CTO, @RWA_xyz, @CharlieYouAI on why 24/7 perpetuals will force futures exchanges to evolveβ£
β£
"Everyone sort of operates on the open and closing of the CME right now."β£
β£
"When things happen outside of those hours, this was really the only venue with some semblance of volumes that people were even paying attention to."β£
β£
"I think that this is going to basically force the CME and all of the other futures exchanges to roll out their twenty four seven markets."β£
β£
"More recently on things like crude oil, they withdrew from the CFTC for consideration one of those twenty four seven contracts. I think that they're going to have to greatly reconsider that because, clearly, there is a lot of appetite to trade it twenty four seven."β£
