Geetha with Tesser: The all-in Stablecoin Solution for Banks and Fintechs

In this episode, we sit down with Geetha Panchapakesan, founder and CEO of Tesser, to explore what stablecoins actually fix in cross‑border payments. Drawing on her experience at MoneyGram, Visa and Circle, Geetha breaks down why working capital, pre‑funding, and fragmented FX infrastructure remain the biggest points of friction for PSPs and banks — and how stablecoin rails unlock faster settlement, better transparency and dramatically lower operational drag.

Geetha also shares why Tesser is building a fully‑abstracted, institutional‑grade stablecoin stack, what’s driving demand from emerging‑market FIs, and why off‑ramps, liquidity and regulatory clarity are the real bottlenecks to global adoption. From compliance fears to tokenized deposits, we dig into the myths, the headwinds, and the very real opportunities for enterprises adopting digital asset infrastructure in 2026 and beyond.
