Episode Description from the Publisher

What if your payday wasn’t bi-weekly, but bi-second? In this episode, we sit down with Simon Babakhani, CEO and Co-Founder of Zebec, to discuss how the company is moving past speculative retail crypto to build robust, utility-driven financial infrastructure. We dive deep into the concept of PayFi (Payment Finance) in the XRP ecosystem and how real-time programmable money streams are completely reshaping the way enterprises handle payroll, compliance, and international value movement.
