Today, I sat down with Daniel Lev, the founder of Coinflow. Coinflow is a payment service provider that uses stablecoins to offer faster settlement of both card payments and payouts for businesses.

Quick background is I've been building financial products for quite some time in the, quote, unquote, fintech space, and I've been building crypto since I was an engineer in college. And in between, I was at a hyper growth fintech. I was leading a big project team there. We went through hyper growth. Got pretty bloated, so I had some time to dabble in side projects.
