Blockchain and financial applications have been linked from the beginning. When Satoshi Nakamato published the original Bitcoin white paper in 2008, he titled it, “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.” Today, the lion's share of crypto headlines are about financial losses. So it's understandable that people associate chains with financial assets.  But open, public blockchains have massive utility beyond financial applications. One of the first innovators to recognize this potential was Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin*.  In Ethereum, the Russian-Canadian computer programmer has conceived, developed, and upgraded a decentralized chain with smart-contract functionality and made it into a transformative piece of infrastructure that enables new forms of political, corporate, and social organizations. (USDC circulates on many blockchains; [as of (date)] a majority of the supply circulates on Ethereum.) In a conversation they recorded this past September in San Francisco at Converge22, Circle's inaugural ecosystem summit, Vitalik and Jeremy Allaire reviewed Ethereum's important technological progress, impediments to scaling utility, and the new models of cooperation this base layer of trust can enable.

Secretary of the Treasury. Director of the National Economic Council. President of Harvard University. Washington Post columnist. Economist Larry Summers has held some of the most prestigious roles in public life. Across them all, Dr. Summers has brought an unflinching commitment to incisive observations, even when they cut against the grain. On the major global macroeconomic issues of our time, Summer's views aren't always the popular ones, but they are not easily dismissed.  Summer's leadership in the Obama White House in the aftermath of the 2007-2008 financial crisis gives him special insight into the importance of effective regulation of financial markets. Understanding how policymakers should regulate stablecoins was the subject of a fireside chat between Jeremy Allaire and Larry Summers this past September at Converge22, Circle's inaugural ecosystem summit.

Some observers think months or even years ahead. Balaji Srinivasan thinks decades ahead.  But Balaji is no mere theoretical futurist. Across a storied career that includes stints at a16z and Coinbase, the acclaimed investor and bestselling author of “The Network State” has helped build and launch some of the crypto industry's most successful companies and assets, including a key role in developing Circle's own USDC.  In a conversation they recorded during the Singapore Fintech Festival in early November, Jeremy and Balaji discussed a wide range of topics, including solving for scale adoption, unlocking super high utility value, and new competition for fiat currencies. Some key ideas they discussed: Why half the world's population may well store a substantial portion of their assets on chain by 2040.  Why we haven't yet accepted the idea that there ought to be no borders to economic activity. Why companies may increasingly put their financial statements on chain. How blockchain technology can expand property rights to marginalized populations. Why our reality and virtual reality may increasingly be defined by digitally gated space. Balaji and Jeremy also discuss how the Bitcoin ecosystem is comparable to the early days of the internet and how blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize the way that companies are formed and managed. *Balaji played a key role in developing Circle's own USDC.

The sudden collapse of crypto exchange FTX last week was shocking. It's arguably on par with Enron or Lehman Brothers in terms of the people it hurt, its cascading impact on the industry and the regulatory changes it could spur. To help draw timely lessons, Jeremy Allaire sat down with Angie Lau, a veteran journalist who is Editor-in-Chief, CEO, and Founder of Forkast.News, a media outlet that covers emerging technology at the intersection of business, economy, and politics. While there's much we're still learning about FTX, Angie and Jeremy identified several insights: Great companies are built on more than talent and technology. They must have rigorous financial, security, operational, and compliance controls to mitigate risks.  This is best understood as a crisis of confidence, not a crisis of technology.  Lack of regulatory standards has aided the rise of unregulated, and often off-shore, centralized financial institutions built on excess. We need to flush this out. Many crypto firms have forgotten what it is they're trying to do. We must move away from the speculative value phase to the utility value phase.  Boring is the new sexy.  *Circle has invested in the media company Angie Lau founded, Forkast.News. Circle also paid a fee for Angie to speak at its inaugural ecosystem summit, Converge22. Angie and Jeremy cover:

Brian Armstrong is one of the crypto ecosystem's most influential pioneers. As the Co-Founder and CEO of Coinbase, one of the world's leading crypto exchanges, Brian has seen – and helped drive – the growth of blockchain-based networks from obscurity to widespread adoption. In their Money Movement conversation, Brian and Jeremy discussed how the crypto economy can extend global financial inclusion, economic freedom, and opportunity to millions who've been excluded. To take just one example, Brian shared how mortgages to buy homes are very difficult to obtain in Argentina. The result? Only the richest citizens own homes; the rest are limited to renting, shutting off one of the great sources of wealth creation. Brian believes crypto markets can vastly expand economic freedom and access to credit in places like Argentina, empowering a new culture of ownership and helping to dissolve decades of inequality. But to get there, Jeremy and Brian agreed, we must face what's holding crypto back. One big “unlock,” in their view, is regulatory clarity. Another is the scalability of blockchains. They noted what the jump from dial-up to broadband made possible online. A third factor is a usability. Much of the current crypto interface, they said, is too difficult to use.  Brian and Jeremy discussed the regulatory impulse to restrict open networks, fundamental rights that shouldn't compromise in the name of fighting bad actors, and the importance of educating people about crypto's enormous potential beyond the transfer of financial value. *Circle and Coinbase are co-founders of the Centre Consortium, a joint venture aimed at establishing a standard for fiat on the internet and providing a governance framework and network for the global, mainstream adoption of fiat stablecoins.

Access to credit is fundamental for everyone who wishes to secure a better future for themselves. Yet millions of would-be borrowers worldwide lack this access, in part because they have little opportunity to build the kind of identity and reputation that lenders seek.  Teller* Founder and CEO Ryan Berkun wants to disrupt this system. Ryan believes blockchain technology can dramatically expand access to credit, enabling people with limited capital to not only borrow with greater simplicity, but also build an on-chain identity and reputation that's open, transparent, and portable.  Ryan sees the merger of on-chain technologies with off-chain assets as the next great extension of the American dream. Home loans, auto loans, and even student loans and other personal debt could all eventually be supported with the types of marketplaces he's cultivating. This emerging infrastructure could enable a new wave of financial inclusion and economic activity that offer the prospect of rising prosperity for millions while protecting their identity and privacy. *Teller is a Circle Customer with a Circle account In their Money Movement conversation, Ryan and Jeremy cover:

Crypto has raised considerable interest for its potential to simplify the world's financial infrastructure, while also increasing access, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. But lack of regulatory clarity and government agency turf wars over digital assets are holding back the full realization of this ecosystem's utility phase.  Kevin O'Leary* of ABC's Shark Tank is bullish about a breakthrough. The brightest minds on earth, he said recently, want to work on the chain. He believes that a clearer regulatory framework will unlock massive new capital that's currently on the sidelines.  In this episode of The Money Movement, Jeremy and Kevin discuss money as a reconciling mechanism, the need for statutory definitions, fractionalized ownership, the iOS of blockchains, and why Congress needs to act now on stablecoin legislation.  They cover:
