Payments industry podcasts spotlight stablecoins, AI and cybersecurity
Coverage from Payments Dive points to stablecoins moving toward mainstream use in the first half of the year, alongside payments providers advancing AI and cybersecurity firms adding data security tools to deter criminals.
Payments Dive highlights five payments industry podcasts, saying there is no slowdown in payments innovation as the sector looks ahead to 2027.
The outlet points to several trends already visible in the first half of 2026, including stablecoins taking a “big step” toward mainstream payments, payments providers advancing artificial intelligence strategies, and cybersecurity firms pursuing stronger data security tools to help thwart criminals.
Among the featured shows is “Payments on Fire,” produced by Glenbrook Partners since 2014, which explores emerging payments trends with guest appearances from payments leaders such as Zelle Chief Operating Officer Preston McCaskill and Checkout.com Chief Operating Officer Jenny Hadlow.
The piece also notes that “Payments on Fire” is hosted by rotating industry figures including Glenbrook managing partner Bryan Derman, and it describes how episodes take structured topic cues from advance coordination with guests.
