The GENIUS Act Passed and the Fintech World Will Never Be the Same

They cover why stablecoin adoption depends on becoming invisible infrastructure, how the current phase of stablecoin products is rebuilding existing rails before unlocking truly new capabilities, and what the surge of stablecoin-linked card programs signals about where the market is heading. Nik pulls back the curtain on launching a thousand-person conference in five months, what attendee behavior revealed about the state of the industry, and the one piece of advice every FinTech founder needs before their next build. Stablecoins are no longer a fringe conversation. The GENIUS Act passed, SAB 121 is repealed, and banks that were watching from the sidelines are now building. Tedd Huff, CEO of fintech advisory firm Voalyre and founder of Fintech Confidential, sits down with Nik Milanović, founder of This Week in FinTech and StableCon, to break down what this regulatory shift means for banks, FinTech founders, and anyone building in the stablecoin payments space right now. 1️⃣ Stop waiting on regulation; the GENIUS Act and SAB 121 repeal are in place, so start building to the framework that exists today. 2️⃣ Track stablecoin-linked card programs; eight launched in one year, and cards are the first product step before broader adoption follows. 3️⃣ Check your conference strategy; over 250 FinTech events exist globally, so find the ones built around your exact niche and show up there. 4️⃣ Build partnerships instead of ownership; banks that tried to absorb tech companies watched those investments fail. 5️⃣ Before shipping your next feature, draw a straight line from what you are building to a better outcome for your customer.
