    Why Finance Keeps Solving the Wrong Problems — And How That’s Changing
    Jun 1 2026
    For years, the financial technology sector has operated at the bleeding edge of innovation — from embedded finance to stablecoins and AI. But product strategist and fintech thought leader Jas Shah argues that in the rush to adopt new technologies, it can be easy to lose sight of the human problems we’re trying to solve. As the founder of Bitsul and the voice behind the popular Fintech: Under the Hood newsletter, Jas helps companies bridge the gap between complex code and genuine customer needs. In this episode, Jas explains how his consulting work gets him up close to the real-world friction facing small businesses and migrant workers. We discuss why the West's focus on stablecoins often misses the point, how AI should be harnessed for intent rather than hype, and why the best financial technology is the kind the user never even notices.

This fragmentation has caused massive inefficiencies, trapping billions of dollars in dead money and excluding billions of people from the global economy. Chloé Mayenobe, Deputy CEO of Thunes, is building a universal translator to fix this. In this episode, Chloé discusses the rise of the mobile-first economy, why stablecoins are the key to 24/7 liquidity, and how strict compliance became her competitive advantage in building a network that reaches 7 billion endpoints.
