Harbind Lihkari on Stablecoins, SMS Payments & Global Adoption | Interview at Consensus 2025
June 19, 2025
Harbind Lihkari, Chief Product Officer at MNEE
“You shouldn’t need to know you’re dealing in a stablecoin.”
At Consensus 2025, Harbind Lihkari, Chief Product Officer at MNEE, joined us to unpack their vision for a new era of stablecoin adoption, one where blockchain fades into the background.
In this conversation, we explore how MNEE is powering real-world use cases through instant, low-fee transactions on Ethereum. Harbind reveals new partnerships with Fireblocks and Handcash, upcoming exchange listings, and a bold roadmap that includes SMS-based transfers and future card payments, all while maintaining transparency with third-party reserve attestations.
We also dive into what regulation means for stablecoins globally, and why Harbind believes consumer payments, not DeFi, are crypto’s next frontier.
