Boats are some of the largest purchases that still close over wires, escrow, and paperwork — and on the Newport docks the buyer is often abroad. Bring Nikhil the payments side of the business: how brokers, dealers, and builders move high-value transactions, and what compliance-first rails change about closing them.

On the agenda

What we'll be talking about

01

High-value transactions without the wire anxiety

Boat deals are large, often cross-border, and still close over wires, escrow, and paperwork. What it looks like to move that kind of money on compliance-first rails — accounts, payments across SWIFT, US rails, stablecoins, and FX, through one API.

02

Compliance review in days, not months

Money can settle in seconds, but first-time counterparty review still takes around 30 days. On a shared compliance network, a counterparty vetted once is vetted for everyone — review drops to 1–2 days.

03

International buyers, one reconciled ledger

The Newport docks draw buyers from everywhere. When the money crosses a border, the deal picks up FX, correspondent banking, and compliance questions on every side. Screening before funds move and one reconciled ledger under every rail — that’s the conversation.

RSVP

Dinner at White Horse Tavern, boat show weekend.

A private dinner on the Saturday evening of the show — September 19 at White Horse Tavern, the 1673 landmark a few blocks up from the wharves. Operators, brokers, and payments people in town for the show at one table, with Nikhil hosting. Seats are limited — request one below.

Our last dinner

Operators from Turnkey, Whop, Column, Tempo, and more at the table at Cipriani during Money20/20 week — one recurring theme: how to get more businesses onchain.

The Newport International Boat Show runs September 17–20, 2026 across seventeen-plus acres of downtown Newport, Rhode Island waterfront — the Newport Yachting Center, Bowen’s and Bannister’s wharves, Perry Mill Wharf, Hammetts Hotel, and Market Square. One of the largest in-water shows in the Northeast, with 450+ sail and powerboats on display; schedule and tickets live on the official show site.

What should I talk to Infinite about at the boat show?

The money behind the boats: how high-value, often cross-border transactions actually close — wires, escrow, FX, and the compliance review on every side — and what a shared compliance network changes about it. First-time counterparty review drops from around 30 days to 1–2 on Infinite.

Is Infinite returning to the Newport Boat Show in 2027?

Yes — Infinite plans to be back on the Newport docks for the 2027 edition. The organizer hasn’t posted 2027 dates yet; the 2027 event page tracks them and carries the booking link once the schedule lands.
