Wayex
Wayex is a Sydney-based fintech that lets people hold a single US dollar balance, fund it with bank transfers or stablecoins, and spend it worldwide on a Visa card. Founded in 2018 as CryptoSpend by two University of Technology Sydney students, it issued Australia's first crypto-linked Visa card in 2021, rebranded to Wayex in 2024, and in 2025 launched Wayex Global across 160+ countries. The platform supports USDC, USDT, DAI and PYUSD across 10+ blockchains, pays yield on stablecoin balances, and processes conversions in real time at checkout.
Prajit Nanu
Prajit Nanu is the co-founder and CEO of Nium, the Singapore-born fintech unicorn that has quietly become the plumbing behind global money movement for banks, airlines, and digital platforms. Starting with a frustrating attempt to wire INR 40,000 for a friend's bachelor party in Phuket, he built what is now a $1.4 billion payments infrastructure company processing over $8 billion annually across 190+ countries in 100 currencies. A commerce graduate from Mumbai with a sales background rather than a fintech pedigree, Nanu turned that outsider status into competitive advantage - building what incumbents told him was impossible.
