In this episode, I sit down with Rob Terenzi, COO of El Dorado — a fast-growing stablecoin-focused superapp that's making USD payments, crypto on-ramps, and low-cost financial tools accessible across Latin America.

From his days as a corporate lawyer at Wilson Sonsini (where he helped tech and venture deals) to co-leading a platform that's powering remittances and everyday finance in countries like Honduras and Nicaragua, Rob shares the vision behind El Dorado, the challenges of building in LATAM's regulatory and economic landscape, and why stablecoins are a game-changer for the region.

We dive into how El Dorado is expanding financial access for unbanked and underbanked users, the future of dollarization via crypto, lessons from traditional finance, and practical insights for anyone interested in fintech, crypto adoption, or living/working in Latin America.

Whether you're a digital nomad, expat, investor, or just curious about the intersection of blockchain and real-world emerging markets, this conversation delivers actionable takeaways and a clear-eyed look at LATAM's crypto opportunity.
