From Unstable to Stable: A New Era Begins

A NEW ERA

If you’ve noticed the name change—yes, you’re in the right place!

What started as Unstable Insights has transformed into stableminded. It’s more than a rebrand—it’s part of Stable Studios, a full-service go-to-market studio designed specifically for stablecoin founders thats launching TODAY

Let me take you behind the scenes.

Over the past few months as I’ve grown my newsletter and social media following, I began getting inbound inquires. Some founders looking for help with CRM’s and outbound sales, some want help with content and generated leads with social media, other’s want to be featured in the newsletter.

I also received massive amounts of support for focusing solely on writing content about stablecoins. A few things became clears:

1. There’s whitespace for stablecoin content and people want more

2. Founder’s need help

Founder-led sales in the crypto/stablecoin space face significant challenges, from building pipelines to managing deal flow, building brand awareness, while also navigating the complexities of hiring and scaling. Its alot to be a head of sales + the CEO.

I’ve also seen this first hand. Growing startups in this space is hard especially in the early days pre-sales hire. Without the right infrastructure feels like trying to build a house without a blueprint.

My problem was I want to focus more on content and behind the scenes work, not being the main sales guy.

So when Drew Rogers reached out told me about what he was building, it was honestly a match made in heaven.

Yin and yang you could say.

He wants to do all the stuff I am less interested in, and vice-versa.

On top of that. we were aligned on so many things from brand vision, skillsets, core offerings for the business, the list goes on. It was honestly scary.

So in the span of a few weeks, we put our heads together to bring Stable Studios to life and are excited to launch it today.

At the end of this edition, Ill break down some core offerings for Stable Studios.

For now, I want to take some to highlight a project I have been following closely for the past few months and am EXTREMELY excited to work with as one of Stable Studios founding client partners who just announced general availability today:

Dakota: A modern banking platform, powered by stablecoins and backed by U.S. Treasuries

REDEFINING BUSINESS BANKING WITH DAKOTA

While Stable Studios is helping founders grow, Dakota is solving one of the biggest challenges startups face: reliable, crypto-native banking.

Here’s a harsh reality: If you’ve worked in crypto, chances are you—or someone you know—has had a bank account shut down.

In every crypto startup I’ve been part of, the fear of debanking was always present. From losing accounts without notice to struggling with compliance issues, the friction was endless. And it’s not just businesses—consumers transacting with crypto exchanges are increasingly seeing banks turn them away.

Dakota is here to change that and is built by a team with deep experience in crypto custody

Ryan Bozarth, Dakota’s co-founder and CEO, brings a wealth of experience from his time at Coinbase, where he played a pivotal role in shaping institutional solutions for crypto finance.

At Coinbase, Ryan worked on streamlining the onboarding journey for institutional clients and developing workflows to bridge traditional finance with blockchain-based innovation.

His deep understanding of compliance, customer experience, and the unique needs of crypto-native businesses has been instrumental in building Dakota as a cutting-edge financial platform.

WHAT MAKES DAKOTA DIFFERENT?

Dakota isn’t just another neobank. It’s a crypto-native solution, powered by stablecoins and designed to solve today’s banking problems while redefining what’s possible in business banking.

1. Built for Speed and Simplicity

Crypto onboarding is notoriously slow and clunky. Dakota flips the script, using advanced KYB (Know Your Business) processes to onboard clients in days, not months. From the moment you sign up to the first time you log in, Dakota’s focus on user experience is clear.

2. Closed Stablecoin Ecosystem

Dakota’s closed-system stablecoin offers the benefits of blockchain (speed, transparency, and liquidity) while eliminating risks like de-pegging. Every deposit is converted into a US Treasury-backed stablecoin, ensuring both stability and security.

3. Designed for Crypto-Native Workflows

Dakota simplifies workflows like transaction monitoring, reporting, and treasury management. Whether you’re managing vendor payments or reconciling accounts, Dakota streamlines the process to save time and reduce friction.

4. A Global Solution for a Global Industry

Dakota isn’t limited by geography. Serving customers worldwide, it provides startups, foundations, and institutions with the same level of banking access regardless of their location. This makes it especially valuable for organizations in regions like the Cayman Islands or BVI, where traditional banking access is limited.
