What happens when banks and credit unions can no longer afford to ignore crypto, stablecoins, and digital assets?Peter Glyman joins Eric Isham on Treehouse Talks to break down why he believes blockchain architecture, stablecoins, tokenized assets, and digital wallets will become a major part of the future financial technology stack.Peter’s journey goes far beyond crypto. He shares how growing up on Martha’s Vineyard, working on a tuna boat, getting into sales, and eventually co-founding Geezeo shaped his career as an entrepreneur. He opens up about building Geezeo, surviving difficult years, navigating an acquisition by Jack Henry, and what he learned spending years inside one of the largest financial technology companies in the industry.Now Peter is back in founder mode with Coinbax, building infrastructure designed to help financial institutions safely move money using stablecoins and tokenized deposits.Eric and Peter discuss why banks and credit unions risk losing wallet share when customers leave their institution to buy and hold digital assets, how fintechs are expanding into traditional financial services, what stablecoin adoption could mean for payments, and why regulated financial institutions may actually have a major advantage if they move quickly enough.They also dive into second-time entrepreneurship, fundraising, building the right team, and one of Peter’s biggest lessons for founders: get your financial and operational structure right from the beginning.If you’re interested in fintech, stablecoins, banking innovation, crypto, entrepreneurship, or where money is headed next, this conversation is worth watching.Subscribe to Treehouse Talks for more conversations with entrepreneurs, founders, innovators, and leaders building what’s next.
