Coinflow on programmable money and compliance at scale - S3E5

Sep 16, 2026

In this episode, we dive into the payments revolution with Daniel Lev, CEO and Co-Founder of Coinflow. Daniel brings a rare blend of expertise: he started in large-scale digital transformation at PwC, moved into product at Amount (the Chicago-based fintech unicorn), and previously co-founded and exited a Web3 sports gaming platform before launching Coinflow.

Coinflow connects traditional payment rails with stablecoin technology to enable instant global settlement for cross-border commerce. Operating across 170+ countries and managing compliance through GDPR, FinCEN, MiCA, and more, Coinflow has delivered 2,300% revenue growth in the past year and proven entirely new use cases for programmable money.

He's joined by Derek Woods, Crypto GTM Lead at Persona, who has been in the identity verification space since 2017 — from KYC work at IHS Markit to leading Yoti's North America expansion, building go-to-market at Passbase, and now stewarding identity infrastructure for crypto at Persona.
