The Year of Stablecoin Unification with Sam Kazemian

2026 is the year stablecoins go full stack.

We discuss:

- The Year of Unification: Token Economics Clarity

- End-to-End Stablecoin Integration (Stripe, Bridge, Tempo)

- Why Most Stablecoins Will Fail the "Full Stack" Test

- fraxUSD's Path to Becoming the "Third Default" Money
