Stablecoins, AI Agents, and The Future of Global Banking

The goal with Jeeves is really to build a global business bank that can function in multiple countries. Stablecoins is a lived experience. It's not something that's a theory. Like in Argentina, 60% of the population use Stablecoins. Our revenue has grown 10 x, our volume has grown eight x. This just wouldn't be possible without it. Money is going to become programmable, and hopefully we're at that nexus of all of this happening. Often when companies start in financial services, just because there's so much product to build, the tendency is to start with the smaller guys, grow with them, and then eventually earn the credibility to go with the bigger guys. You took the opposite approach. How did you become relevant to relatively large companies fairly quickly in the journey? Our underwriting team today is four people, and that team is doing 2 to 3,000,000,000 in TPV. That just wouldn't have been possible two and a half years ago. You need 15 people just to get that off the ground. That's what's changed. If you are not AI pilled, you're not going to make it. Most financial infrastructure is still fragmented country by country. Different banks, payment rails, currencies, and compliance systems make it difficult for global businesses to operate efficiently, especially across emerging markets. Jeeves is trying to rebuild that stack using stablecoins and AI. What started as a corporate card company in Latin America has evolved into a broader financial operating system spanning payments, treasury, and expense management across 25 countries. A sixteen z's Angela Strange speaks with Jeeves founder and CEO, Dalit Tasman, about stablecoins, AI, and building global financial infrastructure. Dilyp, welcome to the podcast. Thanks for having me. I'm super excited. Before we dive into Jeeves, I don't think a lot of listeners know your backstory, which is pretty interesting. You grew up internationally. You've got a technical background. You started another company. You sold it for over a $100,000,000 before this. Long ago. Yeah. Yeah. So maybe tell us tell us about you and how that led you to start Jeeves. So I was actually born in Nigeria. So I grew up in three or four different continents, actually. So we moved from Nigeria to Doha, Qatar. So that's where I spent most of my childhood, and this was when Doha was, like, a one camel town. I mean, it's funny looking at the airport now, which is massive, and it used to be an airport, like, two stalls and it's plane a or plane b, and you get on one of them, and that was the airport. So it's very small. And then we moved to Florida outside of Orlando probably about twenty five years ago. And so what I've kind of noticed is the company that I'm working on now, Jeeves, is also a global company. So it's almost like a manifestation of my childhood and the fact that I grew up in all of these different places. I then …
