Tech Disruptors

Stablecoins are emerging as the core plumbing of on-chain finance, pulling payments, reserves and eventually broader capital markets onto blockchain rails. In this episode of the Tech Disruptors podcast, Charles Cascarilla, CEO and co-founder of Paxos, joins BI analyst Diksha Gera to discuss how this shift can improve access, speed and efficiency across financial markets, with PayPal and Schwab as early proof points in payments and brokerage channels. Listen to hear why bringing assets on-chain could become a natural next step for financial institutions.

Zscaler CEO Jay Chaudhry discusses Anthropic’s Mythos and its implications for AI agent deployments in a wide-ranging conversation with Bloomberg Intelligence’s Mandeep Singh in this episode of the Tech Disruptors podcast. They explore the changing nature of the cybersecurity landscape, from securing AI agent identities to zero-day attacks enabled by AI coding agents.

To solve the employee-support problem, “you actually have to solve the automation problem,” Serval co-founder and CEO Jake Stauch tells Bloomberg Intelligence senior technology analyst Anurag Rana on the Tech Disruptors podcast. In this episode, they discuss why Jake believes IT service-management (ITSM) providers such as ServiceNow are being disrupted by AI-native automation rather than better ticketing systems. They examine Serval’s approach to turning natural-language requests into deterministic workflows, why large enterprises are willing to replace entrenched ITSM platforms despite long migration cycles and how AI could reshape employee support, automation and the economics of internal service teams.

“Over 80% of Marketplace transactions are still self-service today, but the bulk of the revenue is enterprises buying large contracts,” Matt Yanchyshyn, vice president of AWS Marketplace and Partner Services, tells BI senior technology analyst Anurag Rana. Yanchyshyn explains how AWS Marketplace has evolved from an app-store-style catalog into an enterprise procurement channel offering private offers, co-sell, services, and software. The discussion unpacks why AI agents are the fastest-growing category on Marketplace, the shift toward solution bundles and how AWS is approaching model flexibility, governance and security as agents increasingly do discovery via MCP-style integrations.

AI agents are driving more experimentation and early production use cases across enterprise workflows. Box CEO Aaron Levie and AWS Director of Financial Services Market Development John Kain join Bloomberg Intelligence senior software analyst Sunil Rajgopal on this episode of the Tech Disruptors podcast to discuss how financial institutions are applying agentic AI to onboarding, compliance and document-heavy processes. “Agents can only be as effective as the context that they have,” Levie says, while Kain adds, “It’s not to replace the human decision process. It’s to accelerate the human decision process.” The conversation also explores data fragmentation, governance and guardrails, infrastructure-scaling challenges, and why companies remain in the early stages of enterprise-wide transformation.
