Money After AI: Meet the New Digital Dollar Built for the Internet "Stablecoins" | EP #200
Peter DiamandisJeremy AllaireEmad MostaqueSalim Ismail
USDC is positioned as fully reserved, redeemable internet money, with a $76 billion market cap, over 90% year-on-year growth, and Circle’s recent IPO raising $1 billion.Its safety case rests on transparent, short-duration Treasury backing rather than fractional-reserve lending, while open, programmable rails could strengthen dollar demand and Treasury markets.AI-mediated transactions, corporate treasury, and cross-border settlement are nearer-term catalysts, but retail adoption remains a couple of years away and inflation, controls, and enforcement risks remain unresolved.
