Brave has 120M+ users and most never touch crypto. Roadmap 4.0 is the fix — Luke Mulks, VP of Busine

Brave has 120 million-plus users and most still don't touch crypto. SELF-CUSTODY PAYMENTS is how Brave is closing that gap, and Roadmap 4.0 is the plan to turn the world's biggest privacy browser into a Venmo-like, self-custody wallet anyone can use.

Luke Mulks, VP of Business Operations at Brave and host of the Brave Technologist podcast, joins Ashton Addison on Blockchain Interviews to break down Brave Pay, the GENIUS Act-compliant Brave Rewards Card, and x402 support for AI-agent stablecoin payments. Luke explains how the new wallet waitlist has already crossed 100,000 signups, what that surge revealed about demand, and what a unified self-custody payments experience spanning everyday purchases, agent-to-agent transactions, and a physical card actually looks like a year from now.
