In this episode of The Smart Money Stack, Rameez Ali breaks down three powerful case studies that demonstrate how programmable finance is transitioning from theory to reality.
-
Trafigura: How a commodities giant cut payment processing time by 72% through programmable workflows
-
Visa and BBVA: Piloting tokenized deposits and programmable compliance through Visa’s Tokenized Asset Platform
-
Stripe: Expanding stablecoin accounts to 100+ countries and scaling stablecoin payments after its Bridge acquisition
Beyond the headlines, Rameez introduces two simple frameworks for analyzing developments in programmable finance:
-
The Layers – Infrastructure, Platforms, Applications
-
The Lenses – Efficiency, Resilience, Scalability
Together, they offer a way to understand not just what companies are doing today, but how these moves shape the financial system of tomorrow.
