Host Justin Friedman sits dow with Luke Tuttle, Chief Product and Technology Officer at MoneyGram to talk about the realities of building global payments infrastructure at scale. The conversation explores how stablecoins are changing cross-border settlement, why trust and compliance remain critical in remittances, and what it takes to deliver instant cash pickup across more than 200 countries.
Luke breaks down the operational side of modern payments, from treasury management and liquidity challenges to cloud infrastructure, AI-native risk systems, KYC, AML, and local regulation. They also discuss why mainstream stablecoin adoption may come less from consumers demanding crypto products and more from institutions quietly upgrading the rails underneath global money movement.

About Crossing the Chasm
Crossing the Chasm is a special series with Rain focused on what it actually takes for stablecoins to become the default for everyday payments. Instead of rehashing benefits or highlighting pilots, the series breaks down the real work behind winning on Main Street, from upgrading payment rails and navigating regulation to embedding stablecoins into products people already use. Through conversations with builders and operators, we explore how tokenized money moves from early adoption to practical, widespread use across businesses and consumers.
