Podcast appearances and mentions of dante disparte

We're joined by Dante Disparte, Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Global Policy at Circle, one of the biggest issuers of stablecoins (USDC) in the world.   This year marks an important inflexion point for stablecoins as adoption and key regulation kicks in. We're glad to have some one like Dante who has worked at the intersection of finance, technology, and policy, including his role on the US Digital Currency Governance Consortium and the World Economic Forum. As one of the central figures behind USDC, Circle's fully-reserved dollar-based stablecoin, he breaks down the real-world applications of stablecoins, how they differ from traditional banking rails, and what this means for billions of people globally.   We dive into: • How traditional banking rails are fundamentally broken, and why stablecoins collapse messaging and settlement into a single, real-time action. • Why USDC is a safer, 1:1 dollar-backed alternative to traditional banking deposits. • How stablecoins are already transforming economic life in emerging markets. • The global policy implications of programmable digital money. • Why this is not about disrupting traditional finance—but completing its unfinished work.   Stablecoins represent a transformative opportunity to rebuild the global financial system in an open, instant, and borderless manner, akin to how the internet revolutionized information sharing. By eliminating intermediaries and leveraging blockchain technology, stablecoins can significantly reduce transaction costs and times, making financial services more accessible and efficient worldwide. This shift has the potential to democratize finance, enabling seamless global commerce and innovation, much like how email and the web democratized communication and information access.    Key Takeaways from the Episode: 1.⁠ ⁠Stablecoins Collapse Messaging and Settlement into One Layer: Unlike traditional systems like SWIFT or PayPal, where a payment is just a message and settlement lags behind, stablecoins like USDC send the actual value along with the message—executing real-time, programmable transactions.   2.⁠ ⁠The World's Financial Plumbing Is Broken: Slow, expensive, and opaque systems benefit incumbents who profit from delays. Stablecoins offer an open, interoperable alternative—what Dante calls the "Internet of Value."   3.⁠ ⁠USDC is 1:1 Backed – Not Fractional Reserve: Circle holds 100% of reserves in cash and short-term US Treasuries. Fully transparent, independently audited, and free from commingling, USDC is designed for trust at scale.   4.⁠ ⁠Emerging Markets Are Leading Adoption: USDC is being adopted as a store of value and medium of exchange in places with volatile local currencies, enabling billions of unbanked and underbanked users to access the global economy.   5.⁠ ⁠Stablecoins Enable New Forms of Programmable Finance: From streaming payments to tokenized IP ownership, stablecoins unlock composable, automated financial systems. Think of it as building with financial Lego blocks.   6.⁠ ⁠Interoperability Is Key: Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) and integration with 18+ blockchains allow USDC to operate natively across ecosystems—much like email works across providers.   7.⁠ ⁠Stablecoins vs. CBDCs vs. Bitcoin: Dante lays out why stablecoins (especially private-sector ones) offer better trust, scalability, and flexibility than central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) or highly volatile assets like Bitcoin.   8.⁠ ⁠Global Policy Must Catch Up: Governments should embrace rules-based competition and interoperability, rather than stifling innovation. Stablecoins are not here to replace sovereign currencies—they're here to complete unfinished work in the financial system.   Join us for a masterclass in monetary innovation and policy with one of the most visionary voices in fintech.   Follow our host on Linkedln to know more or subscribe to our emailing list to get new episodes directly into your inbox.

gm. Mauricio Magaldi and Cuy Sheffield are back this week, this time talking all things USDC settlement, CBDCs and the difference between CBDCs and stablecoins. Following our discussion around the development of stablecoin in our last episode, we thought it would be fitting to dive deeper into another type of digital currency that is closely related to fiat, CBDC, or Central Bank Digital Currency. Banks are looking to CBDCs as a form of currency that expedites transactions and increases the security of payments between banks, institutions, and individuals and we look at the biggest news stories and developments around the world for CBDCs. Not only that but Visa has some news of its own: Just last week, Visa expanded its use of US Dollar Coin (USDC) for digital currency settlement, adding pilot programs globally with WorldPay, Nuvei, and Xapo, modernising large value, cross-border payments, for end-to-end digital currency settlement over blockchain. We get into that and much more! We are also joined by some amazing guests: * Dante Disparte, Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Global Policy at Circle * Mina Khattak, Senior Director of Crypto, at Worldpay * Catherine Gu, Head of CBDC & Protocols, Visa Just a quick reminder - nothing we share here is legal, tax or financial advice.

Il 2022 non è stato un buon anno per le criptovalute, segnato dal crollo di Terra Luna e del Bitcoin, dai fallimenti dell'exchange FTX, del fondo speculativo Three Arrows Capital e del broker di criptovalute Voyager Digital. In totale, il settore ha perso 2 trilioni di dollari. Ma non è la fine per l'industria. Ne è convinto Dante Disparte, chief strategy officer ed head of global policy della fintech Circle Internet Financial, che in un post sul blog del World Economic Forum pubblicato lo scorso 2 gennaio scrive: “Così come ci è voluto lo scoppio della bolla delle dot-com nei primi anni 2000 per consegnare il futuro di internet a società, modelli di business e casi d'uso più duraturi, forse il 2022 segnerà un passaggio di consegne della tecnologia crittografica e dell'infrastruttura blockchain a mani più solide”.

The digital currency craze started with at least one anonymous Bitcoin founder and a community of futuristic, tech-savvy investors willing to take a bet on a new form of money. But over the past decade, the world of digital currency has coined a host of new types of online cash. In fact, Central Banks in more than 80 countries have, or are in the process of gearing their monetary systems in that direction. They consider them a means of modernizing and serving as a check against the growth of crypto. In China, an estimated 140 million people have already begun using the new digital yuan, which accounts for nearly $10 billion worth of transactions. In that context, does the world's reserve currency -- the U.S. dollar -- need its own version? Those who are argue “yes” say it is a fundamental step to remain competitive; to ensure the dollar remains in its preferred global standing. A digital dollar, they argue, would also create a new ease of exchange, reduce delays in processing times, and help the underbanked Americans into the digital economy. Those who argue “no” point to the risks of failure, hackings, and privacy breaches, which includes widespread government tracking of transactions, and could allow for unprecedented federal access to personal banks accounts. Against this backdrop, we ask: Does America Need a Digital Dollar?  Arguing "Yes" is Gillian Tett, Editor-at-large, Financial Times  Arguing "No" is Dante Disparte, Head of Global Policy at Circle   Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates  Learn more about your ad choices.

Circle's USDC stablecoin is the second largest by market capitalization, and has steadily grown in dominance over the last couple of years. In this episode of The Scoop, Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Global Policy at Circle, Dante Disparte, joins host Frank Chaparro to share his take on what a responsible approach to stablecoin regulation might look like and why he believes central bank digital currencies are "anti-democratic." According to Disparte, the separation between the central banks and citizens' pockets is important to maintain: "The gap between the central bank, the banking system, your wallet and how you spend money is a powerful feature and not a bug." Furthermore, Dante believes that central bank digital currencies ignore the fundamental peer-to-peer potential of digital assets: "A central bank digital currency would be the equivalent of building a high speed train engine, but not caring about the rail network, nor the station stops. And the real powerful breakthrough of blockchain based finance is that the infrastructure has networked peer to peer station stops." During this episode, Chaparro and Disparte also discuss: The difference between 'risk' and 'uncertainty' Stablecoin standards Non-USD denominated stablecoins Episode 72 of Season 4 of The Scoop was recorded remotely with The Block's Frank Chaparro, and Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Global Policy at Circle, Dante Disparte.

The 20th century saw economic booms and shocks that caused governments worldwide to develop new systems for managing systemic risk while encouraging growth of the private sector. Those efforts have evolved into the financial system we know today, predating the internet by decades and only slowly realizing the benefits of digital technology. Following the Great Recession of 2008, decentralized networks emerged to apply the benefits of internet technology to money and finance, laying the foundation for the burgeoning digital asset ecosystem we see today. What does the future hold for governments, the unbanked, and the foundation of how value is exchanged around the world in light of these remarkable advancements? In this episode of The Money Movement, Jeremy is joined by Dante Disparte, Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Global Policy at Circle, to discuss the road to digital money.. They cover:

Circle is an issuer of one of the most popular stablecoin - USDC. In this episode, we host the Chief Strategy Officer of Circle for a discussion on the fundamentals of stablecoins, the race to becoming the dominant digital currency, regulatory landscape, and the future of open source and private market innovation in the U.S.

Earlier this year, President Biden signed a long-awaited crypto executive order on “Ensuring Responsible Innovation in Digital Assets (Order),” and issued this fact sheet. While regulatory agencies have been providing crypto-related guidance and taking enforcement actions for years, the White House, with this executive order, intends to outline “the first-ever, whole-of-government approach to addressing the risks and harnessing the potential benefits of digital assets and their underlying technology.” The Order sets forth a national policy for cryptocurrency across “six key priorities: consumer and investor protection; financial stability; illicit finance; U.S. leadership in the global financial system and economic competitiveness; financial inclusion; and responsible innovation.” In the wake of the executive order, TRM Talks sat down with three experts - Carole House, Director of Cyber Security and Digital Innovation at the White House National Security Council, Teana Baker-Taylor Chief Policy Officer for the Chamber of Digital Commerce and Dante Disparte, Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Global Policy for Circle - to discuss the Order, the deliberations behind it and what it means for the crypto-industry and beyond.

Digital currency emerged in the late ‘80s as a group of computer programmers set out to protect people's privacy in the digital world. This was known as the Cypherpunk Movement. David Chaum created DigiCash which utilized Blind Signature technology to guarantee privacy and safe transactions between individuals. In the ‘90s, Wei Dai created B-money, another digital currency, similar to what we know as Bitcoin today.  Innovation in the digital currency space has been exploding in recent years, from DigiCash to B-money to Bitcoin to Ethereum and now to stablecoins such as USDC, and will only continue to do so. Forward-thinking regulators will be able to harness this innovation for the benefit of their countries, and those that don't...may be left behind. In this episode of The Money Movement, Jeremy is joined by Dante Disparte, Chief Strategy Officer & Head of Global Policy at Circle.

Who should supply the nation with digital currency? Should the Fed do it, should the private sector do it, or should it be provided by some combination of the two? Join us on November 2 for a conversation with J. Christopher Giancarlo, former chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and Dante Disparte, Circle's chief strategy officer and head of global policy. The event will be moderated by Cato's Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives director emeritus George Selgin, during which Giancarlo and Disparte will discuss the merits of digital currency, both public and private.

Last year, in the height of the pandemic, we decided to launch The Money Movement. Nearly forty episodes and thousands of views/downloads later, we've covered an incredible range of topics with guests like Larry Summers, Balaji Srinivasan and others from top crypto organizations like Dapper Labs, Aave and FTX. And now… we're expanding. Expanding in two different ways… First, we are being joined by two, new co hosts: Dante Disparte, Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Global Policy here at Circle and Ryan Feit, CEO of SeedInvest, a Circle company. And second, we're going to be sharing a weekly newsletter to further delve into the world of crypto, startups and how to build things in the new internet based financial system. In this short episode, Jeremy reflects on what The Money Movement has achieved so far and what will be changing going forward.

As society moves increasingly online, so do the kinds of risks that businesses face. With cybercrime growing exponentially and businesses liabilities expanding as they accumulate giant honeypots of sensitive user data, this week's Money Reimagined explores a new approach toward risk, one fueled by a blockchain mindset.An analysis of the state of cybercrime with the explosion in ransomware attacksThe new mindset based on principles of openness and decentralizationThe case for resiliency and cost-based risk tolerance over efficiency and total protectionThis episode is sponsored by PumaPay.io.Hosts Michael Casey and Sheila Warren are joined by Dante Disparte, chief strategy officer and head of global policy at Circle whose career was previously centered on radical insurance innovation, and digital pioneer Pindar Wong, chairman of VeriFi, an internet infrastructure consulting firm.A recent report from Cybersecurity Ventures predicted cybercrime costs are on track to total $6 trillion this year. If cybercrime were a country, it would be the third latest economy in the world.How can a blockchain mindset reduce those costs? The Colonial Pipeline attack was a case study in the danger of centralization. The wider distribution of value, data and attack points that's inherent to decentralized blockchain technology, as well as its collective witness feature and the power of collective, iterative improvement in open-source development hints at more effective strategies for managing such risks. It comes down to a different framing for how to strengthen security. The classical notion of “secured versus not secured” is a prohibitive way of thinking that ignores the grey areas of “at-risk.” Is a healthcare model, with different levels and types of sickness, a more constructive mindset?With governments poised to introduce CBDCs around the world – tempting cybercriminals with the biggest honeypots of them all - a new antifragile risk-management framework is crucial for society as these changes shape the digital future. -750,000,000 PMA tokens are now up for grabs.

Gavin Wood on Chain Mergers and AcquisitionsGavin Wood, an original co-founder of Ethereum, took a few good swipes at the second-largest cryptocurrency he helped create, calling out its lack of “agency” when upgrading to its next version, Ethereum 2.0.Plan B discussion: Saifedean Ammous, Erik VoorheesSaifedean Ammous is the author of The Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking, the first academic study of the economics of bitcoin. He also runs saifedean.com, a platform for online courses in economics. Erik Voorhees is among the top-recognized serial Bitcoin advocates and entrepreneurs, understanding Bitcoin as one of the most important inventions ever created by humanity. US Banking Regulator Suggests Federal Licensing Framework for Crypto Firms - Brian Brooks, chief operating officer of the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the nation's national bank overseer, said Monday he believes crypto companies could fall under a federal licensing regime – if they provide what can be described as payment services. Speaking at CoinDesk's Consensus: Distributed virtual conference, the former Coinbase chief legal officer said many crypto companies are payments companies, and it therefore might make sense to treat these startups – and other fintech firms like Stripe – the same way as banks are treated federally. "Crypto is one of those areas where we have to ask ourselves, does it make more sense to think of crypto projects as local projects or global projects. If they're global, then the rational for a single national license makes more sense," he said. "Increasingly, it looks a lot like crypto is banking for the 21st century."This would give these startups an alternative to the state-level money transmitter licenses when building operations.The European Central Bank (ECB) is looking into what a retail central bank digital currency (CBDC) form of the euro might look like - The ECB set up a task force earlier this year to look into what its potential CBDC could look like, and the group expects to publish a preliminary report in the coming weeks, said Mersch, an executive board member at the ECB. "A wholesale CBDC, restricted to a limited group of financial counter-parties, would be largely business as usual," Mersch said. "However, a retail CBDC, accessible to all, would be a game changer, so a retail CBDC is now our main focus." A retail CBDC could be based on a digital token circulated "in a decentralized manner," without a central ledger, Mersch said, though he stopped short of saying the words "blockchain" or "distributed ledger." He acknowledged that the traceability of digital transactions would raise privacy concerns among a population used to paying for some things with paper notes.Cold Currency War is brewing - Every sector is competing in a type of arms race to be a leader in the digital currency race.Vitalik Buterin said the Ethereum 2.0 protocol upgrade in July - Eth2 will change the consensus mechanism to proof-of-stake (PoS), is well on its way to launching sometime in July.Zcash Alliance Aims to Bring Privacy Tech to Bitcoin, Cosmos and Ethereum -A handful of big names in crypto want in on the privacy features offered by Zcash. The Electric Coin Company (ECC) announced Monday the launch of the Zcash Developers Alliance (ZDA), an invite-only working group that includes the Lightning Network startup Bolt Labs, the cross-chain technology startup Thesis, the Ethereum conglomerate ConsenSys and two leading startups working on the Cosmos project, Agoric and Iqlusion, just to name a few. “The ZDA is an attempt to introduce a way to collaborate with the ECC, and the Zcash ecosystem, which focuses around other people's priorities,” Iqlusion founder Zaki Manian said. “Product-market fit is other people [beyond fans and founders] actually caring about it.” Manian said the “Zcash anonymity set” is a “valuable public good,” describing how the privacy coin allows shielded transactions and the construct that allows individual transactions to get lost in the metaphorical crowd.

The RundownOne of Germany's biggest bank predicts bitcoin will reach $90,000 due to the halvening based on a stock to flow model that measures the hardness of a money. “The stock-to-flow approach originating in commodity-market analysis serves to quantify the ‘hardness' of an asset. Applied to Bitcoin, an unusually strong correlation emerges between the market value of this cryptocurrency and the ratio between existing stockpiles of Bitcoin (‘stock') and new supply (‘flow'),” they say.“Satoshi's ‘stroke of genius' was to decouple supply from price and from mining efforts (in Bitcoin's case: computing power). It is worth noting that this ‘difficulty adjustment' was absent in the case of all Bitcoin's predecessors, e.g. Bit Gold…Historically, the Bitcoin Halving has proven to be an important catalyst that propels Bitcoin into a new Bull Market.In fact, Bitcoin tends to begin its new bull trend at least a year before its Halving.Bitcoin Halving #1 — November 2012Bitcoin Halving #2 — July 2016Bitcoin Halving #3 — May 20201. Bitcoin has rallied 12,000%-13,300% in each of its Halvings to dateThe first Bitcoin Halving spurred 13,378% growth in Bitcoin's price whereas the second Bitcoin Halving spurred a 12,160% rally.A 12,160% rally from Bitcoin's mid-December 2018 bear market bottom of $3,150 would result in a ~$385,000 Bitcoin.By the same token a 13,378% rally would lead to a ~$425,000 Bitcoin.A $385,000 Bitcoin is very interesting because that would mean that Bitcoin's Market Cap (i.e. $189 billion as of this writing) will have eclipsed the current Market Cap of Gold (i.e. $7.8 trillion).Bitcoin Halvings #1 and #2 — A Detailed BreakdownA new Market Cycle high tends to be made just before the Halving but it doesn't eclipse the old All-Time HighSince mid-December 2018, Bitcoin rallied over 340% which closely resembles the 383% rally that Bitcoin experienced leading up to its second Halving.If Bitcoin were to rally 383% like it did prior to Halving #2, it would reach a new Market Cycle high of ~$15,000 which is higher than the current Market Cycle local top of $13,900 as of this writing.This turn of events would satisfy the historical tendencies of setting a new Market Cycle prior to the Halving but not a new All-Time High.This in turn would also satisfy another key tendency: if Bitcoin rallies less pre-Halving, it will rally more post-Halving (and for a longer period of time).Should this tendency play out once again, this would mean that Bitcoin would have a higher likelihood of rallying over 13,000% compared to the 12,000% rally from Halving #2.On the other hand however, if Bitcoin were to rally similarly to its 663% uptrend prior to Halving #1, that would mean that Bitcoin would reach a price point of almost $24,000 prior to Halving #3.Of course, this would lead to a new All-Time High prior to the third Halving which is something that goes against the aforementioned historical tendency.It is for this reason that Bitcoin's price action may continue to closely resemble its price action prior to Halving #2.Should this be the case, it would take Bitcoin a longer time to manage its typical post-Halving growth (after all, it took Bitcoin over 500 days post-Halving #2 to manage an over 12,000% rally to new ATHs).If Bitcoin's post-Halving #3 growth resembles Bitcoin's post-Halving #2 growth, then Bitcoin may see a new All-Time High over 500 days after the Halving (i.e. by Quarter 4, 2021).3. After a new Market Cycle high is set, a retrace will occur prior to the HalvingA retrace may very well occur prior to the Halving which would figure as a financial opportunity for both traders and investors alike.4. New All-Time High in Bitcoin's price will occur after the HalvingHistorically, Bitcoin has set a new All-Time High after every Halving.Whatever All-Time High price Bitcoin reaches, this new record is most likely to take place many months after the Halving.Make sure to check Rekt Capital on Medium for more info just like this.5 Good MinutesWhere is Bitcoin Price Heading?The Hard TruthPaypal Exits Libra – Mastercard and Visa May FollowThe Libra Association's head of policy and communications, Dante Disparte, reportedly told media outlet the Verge:This journey to build a generational payment network like the Libra project is not an easy path. We recognize that change is hard, and that each organization that started this journey will have to make its own assessment of risks and rewards of being committed to seeing through the change that Libra promises.The representative went on to affirm that the upcoming Libra council meeting is still set for October 14 in Geneva.
