What If Patreon Ran on Stablecoins? | Stability Series Ep.01

Patreon takes 20% of creator income. Not because they’re greedy, but because the payment rails they’re built on cost that much to run.

Credit cards, bank transfers, currency conversion, and 3-5 day delays. It all adds up.

Creators lose money. Fans in certain countries can’t even participate.

So what if Patreon ran on stablecoins?

In this episode, we break down where that 20% actually goes, how stablecoins could fix it with instant settlement and ~1% fees, why crypto is still weird (gas fees, wallet UX, recurring payments), and what the infrastructure layer needs to look like to make this work.

This is Episode 1 of the Stability Series, a video series exploring how stablecoins and programmable money could rebuild everyday financial systems.
