Ranking Ballpark Bites, Stablecoins on the Rise, and AI’s Growing Role in Treasury
Stablecoins are going mainstream, AI is starting to actually get adopted in treasury, and Trovata’s Founder and CEO, Brett Turner, and CTO, Joseph Drambarean, have thoughts—plus a few ballpark snacks to rank along the way.

Between bites of hot dogs, Cracker Jacks, and Boston Baked Beans, they serve up sharp insights about where treasury tech is headed—and how treasurers can step up to the plate in 2026.
