#195: "Scale to $100 Billion or Die:” KAST CEO Raagulan Pathy on the Stablecoin Neobank Race

Dela

Raagulan Pathy is the CEO of Kast. He joins host Aaron Stanley at Blockchain Rio 2026, a year after his first appearance and roughly $80 million in Series A funding later.

Rags explains why he thinks the stablecoin neobank market is winner take most, why Kast scrapped its planned token airdrop in favor of equity, and what the company found when 20 to 30% of its users started running business spend through a consumer card.

He also makes the case that Latin America has the strongest product-market fit for stablecoins anywhere in the world.
