Stablecoins, AI agents and the future of crypto infrastructure | Crypto Clarified

Episode notes

What powers crypto behind the scenes? In this episode of Crypto Clarified, Vinh and Dovile sit down with Joe Lau, co-founder and President of Alchemy, the infrastructure layer behind some of the biggest players in digital assets. Often described as the “AWS of crypto,” Alchemy enables companies to build and scale blockchain applications without handling the underlying complexity. In this episode, we explore what crypto infrastructure actually is and why it matters, alongside the rapid rise of stablecoins and tokenised assets. The conversation also looks ahead to how AI agents could transform payments and commerce, and why developer experience may be the key to unlocking broader adoption.
