Background

Goal

Enable real-world crypto usage through compliant, onchain payments — driving user engagement, AUM, and DAU by moving stablecoins from savings into everyday transactions.

Problem

Over 40% of buy volume involved stablecoins like USDC and USDT, but usage was mostly limited to holding and savings. We believed that introducing a wallet within the exchange could unlock more everyday ways for users to actually use their stablecoins.

Challenge

The flow was large and fast-moving, with tight deadlines, frequent changes, and multiple stakeholders. A major challenge was ensuring clarity and confidence for users without overwhelming them.

Approach

What I led

I led content strategy for Pay across onshore and offshore markets, shaping a consistent, intuitive experience across global deposit and transfer flows. The project spans 500+ touchpoints, where I identified and resolved key usability gaps, including friction around moving deposited assets back into the wallet. As launch approached, I refined critical paths to ensure clarity, compliance, and confidence at scale, while mentoring a fellow content designer to strengthen execution across the team.

How we worked

Pay required close coordination across design, product, legal, engineering, marketing, and leadership. As the primary content point of contact, I translated cross-functional input into clear strategy, proactively addressing friction and aligning messaging across teams. Through structured reviews and early issue escalation, we maintained alignment under evolving requirements and delivered a cohesive global experience.
