S2.1 - MURAL PAY

We're kicking off Season 2 with Sinclair Toffa, founder and CEO of Mural Pay, who shares an incredible founder journey from Palantir to building enterprise-grade stablecoin infrastructure.

Key moments from the episode:

• The pivot that took Mural from $1M to $400M in payment volume

• Why eliminating the word "crypto" became a core strategic decision

• How they're using AI to revolutionize payment operations

• Their vision for instant cross-border payments (US to Brazil in 2 minutes!)

What stands out most? Mural's evolution from focusing on crypto-native businesses to becoming a premier cross-border payment platform for traditional enterprises.

Their approach to abstracting blockchain complexity while maintaining the benefits of stablecoin rails is a masterclass in product evolution. Through one unified platform, they're enabling businesses to scale across the US, Europe, LATAM and Africa with instant payments, embedded compliance, and virtual bank accounts - making blockchain technology invisible while delivering its benefits.
