#187: He Left Visa to Build Caliza with Ezra Kebrab; Live from Bitso Stablecoin Conference in Mexico City

Ezra Kebrab is co-founder of Caliza.
He joins host Aaron Stanley to discuss cross-border stablecoin payments in Latin America.
Recorded live at the Bitso Stablecoin Conference in Mexico City.
Caliza handles cross-border supplier and treasury payments, with most volume flowing between Brazil, Mexico, China, Hong Kong, and the US.
Kebrab traces his path from Visa, where he watched Pix transform real-time payments in Brazil, to founding Caliza five years ago on a stablecoin-first model built on top of traditional banking infrastructure.
He explains why Caliza has grown 40-60% month over month, why he doesn't view stablecoin rails as a replacement for Swift, and why workflow and local compliance knowledge are what actually win customer trust.
He also shares his read on agentic commerce, where he sees the near-term opportunity in back-office reconciliation rather than consumer payments.
Caliza is expanding into Africa and Asia in the coming months.
