Stablecoins are having a moment. In this episode of TRM Talks, Ari sits down with Lesley Chavkin, Head of Global Policy at Paxos and former US Treasury official, to unpack the regulatory evolution shaping the future of digital finance.Lesley shares her journey from building anti-money laundering frameworks in the Middle East, to building at Stellar, to now helping guide Paxos through a pivotal period for stablecoins. Her perspective bridges public service and private sector innovation — making her one of the most thoughtful voices in crypto policy today.The conversation covers the impact of the GENIUS Act and why it marks a turning point for stablecoin issuers, how Paxos' regulatory-first model is resonating with banks and traditional finance, and the differences between regimes like Singapore, the EU's MiCA, and the US. They also dive into what financial institutions need to know about stablecoin infrastructure — from partnerships with PayPal to the buildout of the Global Dollar Network.Lesley offers a candid view on what policymakers often miss about digital assets — and what's still needed to build a safe, trusted, and interoperable future for stablecoins.

Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, we're joined by Gordon Liao, Chief Economist at Circle, to dissect the Stablecoin Wars. From Circle's Arc and Stripe + Paradigm's Tempo, to Solana's native stablecoin push and Hyperliquid's deal, we unpack why everyone suddenly wants their own chain or branded stablecoin. Is this the future of crypto's monetary layer — or just a fragmentation nightmare? We dig into FX use cases, PMF for stablecoins, collective bargaining power of ecosystems, and whether “stablecoin-as-a-service” is the next killer primitive or a liquidity trap. Show highlights

Hyperliquid's USDH ticker set off the most dramatic “RFP” in recent memory. The crew breaks down why Native Markets ran away with validator support, whether the process was theater or strategy, and how the Bake-off became a marketing masterstroke—and potential leverage on Circle.

Was this always a vibes‑based beauty contest, or a deliberate move to pressure Circle and re‑route bridge yield?

Stablecoins are supposed to be boring, but the fight for the USDH ticker on Hyperliquid has turned into one of the most dramatic battles in crypto.  From Ethena suddenly pulling out, to Paxos revamping its bid, to whispers of favoritism, the contest has put protocol-native stablecoins in the spotlight.  In this episode, MegaETH co-founder Shuyao Kong, who just announced their own stablecoin USDm, speaks about why they chose Ethena as a partner, and why alignment with Hyperliquid matters more than short-term incentives.  She also explains why ecosystems need both yield-chasing and yield-agnostic stablecoins — and whether Circle and Tether could be pushed aside in the next wave of competition.

The battle for Hyperliquid's USDH ticker is a referendum on what crypto wants to be: a community-first public good, or a globally scaled, institution-ready product.  With the clock ticking toward the proposal and voting deadlines, Agora's Nick van Eck and Paxos Labs' Bhau Kotecha lay out their cases—100% revenue back to users vs. 95% with enterprise distribution, “Hyperliquid alignment” versus “bring it to the masses,” and what each would build on day one if they win.  We also dig into liquidity, slippage claims, validator dynamics, and how a single ticker could shape the future of onchain markets.

The stablecoin wars have arrived at HyperLiquid's doorstep.In today's episode, we dive into the USDA showdown that took over crypto Twitter this weekend. HyperLiquid opened up their native stablecoin ticker to community proposals, triggering a fierce competition between major players.We sit down with three key contenders: Nick from Agora, Bo from Paxos Labs, and Sam from Frax. Each brings their own vision for scaling USDA beyond HyperLiquid's $5.5 billion ecosystem - from institutional partnerships to DeFi-native coalition building.This isn't just about a ticker. It's about who becomes the steward of flows for one of crypto's most important trading platforms, with proposals offering 95-100% revenue sharing back to the community.---

The battle for Hyperliquid's USDH ticker is a referendum on what crypto wants to be: a community-first public good, or a globally scaled, institution-ready product.  With the clock ticking toward the proposal and voting deadlines, Agora's Nick van Eck and Paxos Labs' Bhau Kotecha lay out their cases—100% revenue back to users vs. 95% with enterprise distribution, “Hyperliquid alignment” versus “bring it to the masses,” and what each would build on day one if they win.  We also dig into liquidity, slippage claims, validator dynamics, and how a single ticker could shape the future of onchain markets.

In this episode, John Byrne and Elliot Berman unpack a series of significant developments in banking, compliance, and enforcement. They begin with the White House's new executive order on “Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans,” which aims to prevent what some call “debanking.” While positioned as a fairness measure, John and Elliot warn that it could weaken banks' ability to make independent, risk-based decisions, potentially increasing white-collar crime exposure. They note concerns over the subjective nature of risk scoring and parallels to the 2008–2010 financial crisis. Next, they spotlight the IRS-CI “CI-FIRST” program, a collaborative effort between financial institutions and the IRS's Criminal Investigation division to improve information sharing and streamline financial record requests. The recent CI-FIRST Executive Forum in Washington is seen as a model for effective public-private partnerships in combating financial crime. The discussion then turns to enforcement actions: Paxos Trust Company will pay $26.5 million to New York regulators for failing to properly vet Binance and for systemic AML program weaknesses, alongside a $22 million investment in compliance upgrades. The DOJ issued its first corporate FCPA action since resuming enforcement, with Liberty Mutual paying $4.7 million to resolve bribery allegations involving Indian state-owned banks. Do Kwon, co-founder of Terraform Labs, pled guilty to wire fraud and conspiracy, tied to the $40 billion collapse of Terra USD and Luna, with a $19 million penalty and possible 12-year sentence. They also cover a Senate minority report critical of the administration's approach to Russian sanctions, arguing it undermines Ukraine's leverage and lacks consistent enforcement. The FACT Coalition emphasizes the need for tools like the Corporate Transparency Act to bolster sanctions' effectiveness. On the policy front, they discuss delays and staffing cuts affecting the State Department's annual human rights report and the pending trafficking in persons report—both key references for global human rights and anti-trafficking efforts.
