đŸȘ™ “”Stablecoins” — Interview with Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire (Philosopher of the Coin)

Jeremy Allaire is the founder and CEO of Circle, the company behind USDC -- the world's largest regulated stablecoin with over $73 billion in circulation. Circle IPO'd last year, surged on day one, and now processes 8x more transactions than Visa. But Jeremy deliberately chose the boringest corner of crypto -- and in this interview, he explains exactly why boring is winning.


Jeremy breaks down what a stablecoin actually is, why the US banking system still runs on technology from the 1970s, and what the Federal Reserve told him when he asked how the dollar actually works. Plus: who loses when Stripe and Shopify start accepting USDC at a fraction of credit card fees, AI agents that pay each other in crypto, and why Jeremy reads Camus instead of business books.


We don’t know who Bitcoin-inventor Satoshi Nakamoto is
 but we do Jeremy Allaire. And this guy knows more than anyone about the coolest part of crypto: The Stablecoin. Because Jeremy is the founder and CEO of Circle, the company behind USDC — the world's largest regulated stablecoin with over $73Bin circulation. And he’s a Philosopher at heart.

Jeremy breaks down what a stablecoin actually is (we were wondering too), why the US banking system still runs on technology from the 1970s (oh boy), and what the Federal Reserve told him when he asked how the dollar actually works. Plus: who loses when you can buy a burrito online with a stablecoin, AI agents that pay each other in crypto, and why Jeremy reads Camus instead of business books (spoiler: to disrupt the financial system, pick up some Nietzsche)
