In this episode of Mint Condition, host Maya Caddle sits down with Harris Leow, Head of Product at Reap, to explore how stablecoins are reshaping corporate cards, treasury management, and the future of global payments.
As one of the leading builders of stablecoin-native card infrastructure, Reap is rethinking how businesses fund spending by using stablecoins as collateral instead of relying on traditional banking models. Harris explains how the company is enabling programmable corporate cards, preparing for agentic AI payments, and helping businesses optimize treasury management with tokenized assets—all while leveraging existing global card networks.
From stablecoin-backed credit and AI-powered commerce to Reap's acquisition by Kraken and the evolution of payment infrastructure, this conversation offers an inside look at how the next generation of financial systems is being built.

From relaunching a SEN-style real-time settlement network to launching SoFiUSD, the first tokenized deposit and stablecoin hybrid issued by a nationally chartered US bank, the conversation dives into liquidity, risk management, correspondent banking, stablecoin infrastructure, and what the future of onchain finance could look like for both institutions and consumers.
