In 2025, Aivar Jefremov founded Signature Tailoring in Tallinn, Estonia. With an extensive background in tailoring, Jefremov was interested in how a well-tailored suit changes the posture, persona, and presence. Over the years, his international experience, having worked in London and with Italian craftsmen, allowed him to refine his knowledge on fabrics, fits, and constructions. In this exclusive interview, Aivar Jefremov tells us why he chose Tallinn, Estonia as the Signature Tailoring headquarters and how their approach to made-to-measure tailoring involves a 1:1 meeting in person.

Building crypto payment infrastructure is all about team effort and setting the right priorities early on. In a recent episode of Founders Unchained, our CEO Evald Hannes Kree spoke with Darius Kraucionis about how Swapin was built: why we chose to develop core infrastructure in-house, how a lean team helped us move faster, and what it really takes to scale a regulated payments business in the EU. Starting small and owning our core systems gave us speed, flexibility, and fewer dependencies, allowing us to launch and scale faster. Hannes emphasises that the idea that only big tech can build serious financial infrastructure no longer holds. What matters are fundamentals: Build only what’s essential Move fast and stay adaptable Invest early in a strong core team, then launch and iterate Also, a huge shoutout to Darius for his new podcast series, Founders Unchained, a space where founders share real stories behind their startups: the ideas, failures and successes, the pitches and the lessons learnt along the way.

Stablecoins are becoming the default option for global businesses. And as our Head of Business Development, Ivar Jaanus, points out, 2026 is the year it fully breaks into the mainstream. Here’s three key reasons why: First, stablecoins is now a practical, everyday tool. For businesses moving money across borders, the speed and cost advantages are hard to ignore. Two, regulated payment providers now take on the heavy lifting of managing volatility, compliance, and operational complexity, taking the burden off the merchant. Three, instead of waiting for a client to ask for stablecoin payments, merchants are proactively offering it alongside traditional methods.
