    Reshaping the Future of Stablecoins Jan 20, 2025
    Show notes

    The global stablecoin legislation discussion is increasing every day, but if you have a framework in Singapore, that's independent from the EU and the U.S., it defeats the whole purpose of having a stablecoin that's supposed to be frictionless and make global payments easier.

    In this engaging episode, Jason Somensatto, Head of North American Public Policy at Chainalysis, talks all things policy with Lesley Chavkin, Head of Global Public Policy at Paxos. They explore this evolving landscape of crypto policy and the intricacies of crypto regulation, the potential for stablecoins and the impact of policy-making on the future of digital assets.

    Lesley explains Paxos' global operations, including their strategic expansion in the EU and the implications of the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, while sharing a behind the scenes look at their stablecoin partnership with PayPal’s PYUS, and the essential need for a robust federal regulatory regime in the U.S. to reinforce the US dollar dominance globally.

    Stablecoins Launch the Decade of Digital Dollars Nov 25, 2024
    Show notes

    “Lack of faith in local economic policies, it's political instability, it's depreciating currency, it's runaway inflation. So it's all these economic factors that play into a person not willing to hold their local currency and would much rather hold this digital dollar.” - Chris Harmse

    Two-thirds (⅔) of every crypto transaction is conducted using stablecoins and there is no doubt the future of digital dollars is happening today.
    In this episode, Ian Andrews (CMO, Chainalysis) speaks with Chris Harmse, the Co-founder and Chief Business Officer of BVNK, whose company just released an industry leading report, The Decade of Digital Dollars.
    Chris shares insights on the rapid developments in cryptocurrency, the stablecoin market, and how BVNK is facilitating smoother transactions across traditional and digital financial systems, while acknowledging the regulatory challenges and the ongoing wars between Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchains.
    He discusses the evolution of financial systems in South Africa, LATAM and other emerging markets, where stablecoins meet the demand for accessible cross-border payments and solve for the instability of local currencies.
