Over the past few weeks we've spent time digging into the crypto neobank space to understand why the competition (and hype) is so high, and why teams are struggling to grow their business. On Friday, we released a primer on crypto neobanks that attempts to answer these questions. Key insights from the report 👇 1. What is a crypto neobank? Crypto neobanks are banking apps that offer services like cards, payments, and savings, but settle transactions on public blockchains using stablecoins. They allow for cheaper cross-boarder transactions, access to foreign markets, self custody, and can be adapted to a variety of use cases and customers. 2. Why now? The barriers to entry have dropped significantly. Players like @lithic, @marqeta and @raincards have made it easy to spin up crypto cards while the regulatory frameworks (CLARITY and MiCA) are nearing their final forms. On top of this, there are a variety of services like @privy_io @coinbase @m0 @ethena @Morpho that all help make building a neobank feel like a plug and play experience. 3. How to make money? Probably the most important question. Revenue comes from several streams: - float/yield capture (usually the biggest line and the reason "float under management" is so important) - interchange fees on card spending - FX spreads on cross-border conversions - trading fees - subscriptions. Most neobanks combine several streams to diversify risk, since each model has different vulnerabilities. 4. How do you grow? In this market, it is likely best to start narrow. Instead of launching first as a full stack bank, focus on a single vertical or market and expand from there. This was the playbook for SoFi, Revolut, and Chime, and it is likely to be the playbook here too. We dig deeper into how to do this in the report, which is free to read either via the article below or through our site: token-relations.com/p/the-ne…

Neobanks are a hot topic right now, but not everyone fully understands what it entails under the hood - and what it could mean for fintechs. @StrataMedia_ Institutional Research Analyst @ahBeaudry joins @jacqmelinek to dig into how crypto neobanks are rebuilding what Chime and Revolut did a decade ago but on stablecoin rails, why he’s interested in the float and yield model and how its the hardest to sustain through a bear market, and where the real opportunity sits for anyone watching this space over the next 12 to 24 months.

One year ago, I became a solo founder :) Since then, I’ve scaled the biz, rebranded to @StrataMedia_ and provided better results for the top tier clients we work with. It’s hard work, but worth it everyday. Celebrate with me by following @TokenRelations & @_TalkingTokens 🧡

NEW: @Mastercard launches Agent Pay for Machines (AP4M), a service for permissioning, orchestrating, and settling machine-to-machine payments. AP4M builds on Agent Pay, and is designed specifically for high-frequency, low-value payments and transactions that are executed between AI agents and machines for digital commerce. Launch partners include @Ripple, @Solana, @Aave, @Alchemy@Anchorage@Coinbase@MoonPay@0xPolygon, to name a few. In our first Strata Research edition on agentic payments, we argued that four conditions are required for the market to scale: protocol consolidation, trust layer maturing, settlement rails that can handle both large and small transactions, and reliable AI models. AP4M addresses two of them: its credentialing system and Verifiable Intent are an attempt at the trust layer, while multi-rail settlement for cards and stablecoins is an attempt at the rails. Read our full analysis of agentic payments, where we covered Agent Pay and the conditions for the market to scale. 👇

On our first episode of @StrataMedia_ Research presented by Talking Tokens & @TokenRelations, our host @jacqmelinek sits down with Institutional Research Analyst @Ahbeaudry to breakdown agentic payments. Alex walks through why it isn't one market but three distinct payment flows, each with completely different infrastructure requirements, and why the machine-to-machine category is where stablecoins have a real structural edge over traditional rails. They also get into the four things that actually need to happen before this market scales, and why the narrative is still running well ahead of the transaction volumes to back it up.
