This week we talk about stablecoins, crypto assets, and conflicts of interest.We also discuss the crypto industry, political contributions, and regulatory guardrails.Recommended Book: Throne of Glass by Sarah J. MaasTranscriptA cryptocoin is a unit of cryptocurrency. A cryptocurrency is a type of digital currency that uses some kind of non-central means of managing its ledger—keeping track of who has how much of it, basically.There have been other types of digital currency over the years, but cryptocurrencies often rely on the blockchain or a similarly distributed means of keeping tabs on who has what. A blockchain is a database, often public, of users and a list of those users' assets that's distributed between users, and it makes use of some kind of consensus mechanism to determine who actually owns what.Some cryptocurrencies ebb and flow in value, and are thus traded more like a stock or other type of non-fixed, finite asset. Bitcoin, for instance, is often treated like gold or high-growth stocks. NFTs, similarly, create a sort of artificial scarcity, producing unique digital goods by putting their ownership on a blockchain or other proof-of-ownership system.Stablecoins are also cryptocurrencies, but instead of floating, their value growing and dropping based on the interest of would-be buyers, they are meant to maintain a steady value—to be stable, like a national currency.In order to achieve this, the folks who maintain stablecoins often use reserve assets to prop up their value. So if you produce a new stablecoin and want to issue a million of them, each worth one US dollar, you might accumulate a million actual US dollars, put those in a bank account, show everybody the number of dollars in that bank account, and then it's pretty easy to argue that those stablecoins are each worth a dollar—each coin is a stand-in for one of the dollars in the bank.In a lot of cases, the people issuing these coins aim for this approach, but instead of doing a direct one-for-one, dollar for coin system, they'll issue a million coins that are meant to be worth a dollar apiece, and they'll put one-hundred-thousand dollars in a bank account, and the other 900,000 will be made up of bitcoin and stocks and other sorts of things that they can argue are worth at least that much.As of mid-2025, about $255 billion worth of stablecoins have been issued, and about 99% of them have been pegged to the US dollar; Tether's USDT, Binance's BUSD, and Circle's USDC are all tethered to the USD, for instance, though other currencies are also used as peg values, including offerings by Tether and Circle that are pegged to the Euro.Stablecoins that are completely or mostly fiat-backed, which means they have a dollar for each coin issued in the bank somewhere, or close to that, tend to be on average more stable than commodity or crypto-backed stablecoins, which rely mostly or entirely on things like bitcoin or gold tucked away somewhere to justify their value. Which makes sense, as while you can argue, hey look, I have a million dollars worth of gold, and I'm issuing a million coins, each worth a dollar, that asset's value can change day-to-day, and that can make the value of those coins precarious, at least compared to fiat-backed alternatives.Because stablecoins are not meant to change in value, they're not useful as sub-ins for stocks or other sorts of interest-generating bets, like bitcoin. Instead, they're primarily used by folks who want to trade cryptoassets for other sorts of cryptoassets, for those who want to avoid paying taxes, or want to otherwise hide their wealth, and for those who want to transfer money in such a way that they can avoid government sanctions and/or tariffs on those sorts of transfers.What I'd like to talk about today is a new US federal law, the GENIUS Act, which was heavily pushed by the crypto industry, and which looks likely to make stablecoins a lot more popular, for better and for worse.—The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins Act, or GENIUS Act, was introduced in the Senate by a Republican senator from Tennessee in May of 2025, was passed in June with a bipartisan vote of 68-30—the majority of Republicans and about half of Democratic senators voting in favor of it—and after the House passed it a month later, President Trump signed it into law on July 18.Again, this legislation was heavily pushed by the crypto industry, which generously funded a lot of politicians, mostly Republican, but on both sides of the aisle, in recent years, as it serves folks who want a broader reach for existing stablecoins, and who want to see more stablecoins emerge and flourish, as part of a larger and richer overall crypto industries.Folks who are against this Act, and other laws like it that have been proposed in recent years, contend that while it's a good idea to have some kind of regulation in place for the crypto industry, this approach isn't the right one, as it basically gives the tech world free rein to run their own pseudo-banks, without being subject to the same regulations as actual banks.Which isn't great, according to this argument, as actual banks have to live up to all sorts of standards, most of them oriented around protecting people from the folks running the banks who might otherwise take advantage of them. Those regulations are especially cumbersome in the wake of the 2008 Great Recession, because that severe global economic downturn was in large part caused by exactly these sorts of abuses: bankers going wild with lending mis-labeled assets, those in charge of these banks pocketing a whole lot of money, lots of people losing everything, and lots of institutions going under, leaving those people and the government with the bill, while the folks who did bad things mostly got off scott free.The goal of these bank regulations is to keep that kind of thing from happening again, while also keeping banks from overtly taking advantage of their customers, who often don't know much about the banking options and assets they're being sold on.Allowing tech companies to do very similar things, but without those regulations, seems imprudent, then, because, first, tech companies have shown themselves to be not just willing, but often thrilled to grab whatever they can and get slapped on the wrist for it, later, moving fast and breaking things, basically, and then paying the fines after they've made a fortune, and if they're allowed to step into this space without the same regulations as banks, that gives them a huge competitive advantage over actual financial institutions.It's a bit like if there were a food company that was allowed to dodge food industry regulations, as was thus able to cut their flour with sawdust and sell it to people at the same price as the real thing. People would suffer, their competition, which sells actual flour would suffer, because they wouldn't be able to compete with a company that doesn't play by the same rules, and the companies that sell the inferior products without anyone being able to stop them would probably get away with it for a while, before then closing up shop, pocketing all that money, and starting over again with a different name.This is how things work in a lot of countries with weak regulatory systems, and it creates so much distrust in the economic sphere that things cost more, the quality of everything is very low, and it's nearly impossible to ever punish those who cause and perpetuate harm.That's at the root of many arguments against the GENIUS Act: concerns that a lack of consumer protections will lead to a situation in which we have growing systemic risk, caused by tech entities taking bigger and bigger risks with other people's money, like in the buildup to the 2008 recession, while simultaneously more legit institutions are elbowed out, unable to compete because they have to spend more and work harder to adhere to the regulations that the new players can ignore.It's worth mentioning here, too, that the Trump family has issued their own cryptocoins, and reportedly already profited to the tune of several billion dollars as a result of that issuance, that the Trumps have their own stablecoin, which they're promoting as an upgrade to the US dollar, that the early backers of these coins include foreign governments and their interconnected companies, like the Emirati-backed MGX, that the Trump children have their own crypto-asset companies, including one that's listed on the Nasdaq, and which is profiting from the increasing popularity and legalization of the industry in the US, and that Trump's media company, which owns Truth Social, also has a multi-billion-dollar bitcoin portfolio, alongside a whole lot of other crypto-coins, which the president has been pushing, and his family has been promoting overseas, using his name and office.All of which points at another conflict of interest issue here, that the president and his family seem to be self-enriching at an incredibly rapid pace and at a very high level, in part by pushing this and similar legislation.People in the crypto industry lavishly spent on his campaign, and they are entwined with his family's business interests, which makes it difficult to separate what might be good for the country, in an objective way, from what's good for Trump and his family, in the sense of using the office to grow wealthier and wealthier—and that's true both in the sense that crypto-assets allegedly allow his family to take bribes in a fairly anonymous and deniable way, but also in the sense that people who buy his memecoins and buy into his stablecoin ventures and buy more bitcoin and similar assets that he already holds, also increase the value of his existing assets, and using the office of the presidency to enrich oneself in that way is the sort of thing they never really made illegal because they didn't think anyone would be brazen or shameless enough to do it.There's a lot going on here, then, and while there are some arguments that this sort of legislation is a good starting point to get some eventual, actual guardrails on the crypto industry in the US, the concerns related to those tech world incentives, and the possibility and reality of the president and his family profiting from this legislation, would seem to make this effort a lot more questionable than prudent, and loaded with a lot more downsides than upsides, even if, again, the majority of lawmakers voted for it, and a lot of people are excited about it for all sorts of reasons.Show Noteshttps://www.wired.com/story/genius-act-loophole-stablecoins-banks/https://www.weforum.org/stories/2025/07/stablecoin-regulation-genius-act/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GENIUS_Acthttps://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-stablecoins-congress-cryptocurrency-94fa3c85e32ec6fd5a55576cf46e58eahttps://advocacy.consumerreports.org/press_release/senate-oks-genius-act-without-safeguards-needed-to-protect-consumers-and-the-financial-system-from-stablecoin-risks/https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/03/politics/crypto-trump-bitcoin-wlfi-stablecoin-analysishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrencyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stablecoin This is a public episode.

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. We dig into Polymarket odds, the last‑minute Paxos bribery allegation (denied), and what this means for future “native” stables on Solana, app chains, and beyond. 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 Guy founder of Ethena as a special guest, as a single ticker (USDH) sparked a weeklong spectacle: Hyperliquid's “Bake-off” to award the USDH stablecoin brand. Native Markets surged ahead as validators signaled support, Paxos rallied late with partners and incentives, and Ethena ultimately withdrew. Was this always a vibes‑based beauty contest, or a deliberate move to pressure Circle and re‑route bridge yield? We parse the incentives, the governance, and the market microstructure — and peek at what happens if every big chain/app tries the “native stablecoin” playbook. Show highlights

"Now that USDT and Bitcoin are natively interoperable on lightning, the circle has gained tangents. With USDT on lightning, each party to a payment, the payer and the recipient, can choose whether to use Bitcoin or Tether on their own end, and neither depends on the other's decision. A customer can pay in Bitcoin and the merchant can receive USDT, or the customer can pay in USDT and the merchant can receive Bitcoin. Or they can both use the same asset, it doesn't matter. Once both assets are native to lightning, they become automatically, frictionlessly, interchangeable."~ Roy Sheinfeld Tether on Lightning isn't just another technical upgrade — it could reshape how billions of dollars move across the globe. I dive into Roy Sheinfeld's piece exploring why this integration could supercharge adoption, how it threatens existing rails, and what regulatory and technical unknowns might stand in the way.

Investing in Bizarro World Episodes: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIAfIjKxr02sAztzlJNy1ug5bDvTVZkME&si=w2d_EF-B5jMo1dYD Subscribe to Investing In Bizarro World: @bizarroworld The free version of the 328th episode of Investing in Bizarro World is now published, with special guest Chris Curl. Here's what was covered:Macro Musings - With Gerardo in Costa Rica, Nick and Chris dive deep into macro events shaping the market. They cover the Fed's “nothing burger” July meeting and the odds of a September rate cut falling below 50%. Gold dipped below $3,200 on the news, but Nick sees the reaction as temporary. Copper also sold off after Trump walked back a planned 50% tariff on refined products—what Nick calls “taco-ing.” The long-term copper bull thesis remains intact, with structural deficits and demand from AI, energy transition, and infrastructure still driving the story. The team also breaks down the massive new trade deal with the EU—lowering tariffs, boosting U.S. energy exports, and repositioning America as Europe's key supplier.Market Takes - Chris breaks down why Bitcoin surged from $100,000 to $122,000: halving dynamics, M2 growth, institutional demand, and a supply crunch. Despite a Galaxy Digital selloff, the bull market remains intact. Ethereum is surging too—Nick is up 60% on his ETH ETF—and Chris expects ETH to hit new all-time highs later this year, triggering the next alt season. The two also cover the Genius Act, Project Crypto, and the rise of stablecoins like USDC and USDT—all bullish for Ethereum. Circle, the newly public U.S.-based stablecoin issuer, is highlighted as a prime beneficiary of the trend.Bizarro Banter - The Internet is ablaze over a hot chick in jeans. Nick and Chris weigh in on the Sydney Sweeney–American Eagle ad campaign, backlash from woke critics, and how a viral denim ad may signal the beginning of the end for woke corporate culture. American Eagle added hundreds of millions in market cap after the ad dropped. “This wouldn't have been controversial at all when we were growing up,” says Chris. “It's exhausting—and most people are tired of it.”Premium Portfolio Picks - For paid listeners only.

John Cho is Vice President of Partnerships at Kaia DLT Foundation, a non-profit organization established to accelerate the Kaia blockchain's global adoption and ecosystem maturity.  Why you should listen Kaia is a mobile-first superapp that's rapidly becoming one of the most intriguing Web3 platforms to watch. Originally known as Klaytn, Kaia rebranded and repositioned itself in 2024 with a bold vision: make crypto invisible. By integrating blockchain seamlessly into daily mobile life, Kaia's goal is to onboard the next billion users without them even realizing they've crossed into Web3. And it seems to be working—Kaia has seen a staggering rise in on-chain activity, ranking second globally in daily active users. This momentum is largely fueled by its unique strategy: hosting Mini Dapps inside the app itself—think of them like mobile games or utilities that live inside a crypto-native superapp. But what makes Kaia different is it is open to third-party developers and fully committed to open-source gaming. That's a huge shift. Instead of locking users into a walled garden, Kaia is betting on community-driven innovation through Mini Dapps—lightweight, mobile-friendly, and composable little apps that make up the building blocks of the platform. These Mini Dapps allow users to explore DeFi, NFTs, and gaming with just a few taps, no wallet stress or MetaMask hurdles.  On the financial infrastructure side, Kaia is moving quickly. It recently partnered with Tether to integrate USDT, and it's also driving the development of stablecoins pegged to the Korean won (KRW) and Japanese yen (JYP). This isn't just about payments—it's about enabling a stable, familiar financial layer inside a blockchain ecosystem. For users in Asia especially, being able to transact with stable, fiat-pegged assets makes the jump into Web3 feel a lot less risky and a lot more practical. Kaia isn't just building an app—it's building an economy, one mobile tap at a time.

Ecco che il mining di Bitcoin interviene consentendo alle aziende di monetizzare comunque l'energia non utilizzata.Inoltre: esplosione dell'utilizzo di bitcoin e stablecoin in Bolivia, la Lagarde annuncia che il modello dell'Euro digitale sarà la Cina, e la California cambia la legge sui digital asset, accetterà solo stablecoin e non bitcoin.It's showtime!

Stripe has established itself as a leading payment solution for both enterprises as well as startups and individual sellers. By abstracting away all the complexities of traditional payment rails through simple plug-and-play APIs, Stripe created a facile route for cross-border payments, simplifying e-commerce. Similarly, Stripe's recent integration of stablecoins could further bolster the adoption of decentralised payment solutions, be them USD or other currency proxies. This allows businesses to reach more markets, at a lower cost, with near-instantaneous settlement.Topics covered in this episode:John's backgroundStripe's missionHow Stripe solves the complexity of internet paymentsIntegrating crypto for paymentsSupported blockchainsStripe's Web3 servicesUpsides of accepting stablecoin paymentsNon-USD stablecoinsMerchant UXExpanding crypto support outside the U.S.On- and off-rampingAcquiring Bridge and PrivyThe best of both worlds: CeFi & DeFiEpisode links:John Egan on XStripe on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

本期关键词： USDT、USDC、稳定币区别 美元-稳定币-美债 普通人如何投资稳定币 Q：“稳定币”是什么？ 是一种特殊类型的加密货币，其价值通常锚定某种法定货币(如美元、欧元)或大宗商品(如黄金)，旨在解决传统加密货币价格波动剧烈的问题，为数字资产市场提供稳定的价值储存和交易媒介。 Q：它有什么用途？ 交易媒介（支付/汇款）、避险工具（对抗本币贬值）、DeFi基础资产。 69%的用户使用稳定币进行货币替代(特别是在高通胀国家)，39%用于商品服务支付，39%用于跨境汇款，20-30%用于薪酬支付。 在技术性能方面，基于Solana等高性能区块链的稳定币转账成本可低至0.00025美元，结算时间从传统跨境汇款的5个工作日缩短至几分钟，成本从平均6.35%降至接近零。 Q：稳定币如何保持价格稳定？ 1、法币抵押型（USDT/USDC）：1:1储备美元资产，靠套利者平衡市价（若USDT＜1美元，买入赎回套利）。 2、加密抵押型（DAI）：抵押ETH等资产（价值＞150%债务），自动清算防暴跌。 3、算法型（已崩溃的韩国Luna）：依赖供需算法和套利激励（失败）。 Q：为什么美国政府积极支持稳定币？ 从地缘分布看，稳定币市场呈现明显的”美元霸权”特征——95%的稳定币锚定美元，且这些稳定币80%的储备资金又回流投资美国国债，使稳定币发行商成为美债市场的重要买家。 这种”美元-稳定币-美债”的循环机制，实际上强化了美元在全球货币体系中的主导地位。 随着美国《GENIUS法案》等监管框架的出台，稳定币发行商被要求以至少1:1的比例持有美元现金或93天内到期的美国国债作为储备。 Q：Tether公司有多赚钱？ Tether Holdings作为稳定币市场的绝对主导者，创造了一套独特而高效的盈利模式，使其在2024年仅凭165名员工就实现了惊人的130亿美元净利润，相当于人均创利8000万美元，这一数字超过了花旗集团等传统金融巨头的盈利水平。 Tether的商业模式核心在于其发行的USDT稳定币与美元1:1锚定的机制。当用户将美元存入Tether账户时，公司会发行等值的USDT并发送到用户钱包；当用户赎回USDT时，Tether则销毁代币并返还美元，同时收取0.1%的手续费(上限1000美元)。 这一看似简单的流程背后隐藏着极为高效的金融套利机制：Tether通过发行USDT获得的美元资金无需向持有者支付利息，却可以将这些资金投资于美国短期国债等生息资产，赚取全部投资收益。 Q：稳定币匿名性强吗？ 不强。USDT交易高度可追踪，尤其在ERC-20/TRC-20链上。增强匿名性：需额外技术手段（如混币器、隐私链），但可能面临法律风险。 Q：普通人如何用稳定币赚钱？ 1、低风险： 交易所活期理财（币安USDT年化3~5%）； 国债代币化产品（如Matrixdock，年化4.2%）。 2、高风险： DeFi质押（如Curve池年化8~15%，有无常损失风险）。 Q：如果美国没收Tether的国债储备，USDT会崩盘吗？ 可能性低：Tether已将部分储备分散至黄金、比特币，且美债清算需国会授权。 Q：人民币稳定币能挑战USDT吗？ 短期难：需突破资本管制+提升离岸人民币流动性+市场共识

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino returns to Bankless at a historic moment for stablecoins. With the Genius Act advancing in the U.S. Congress, Paolo discusses what regulatory clarity means for Tether, the future of USDT, and the company's plans to launch a domestic stablecoin. We explore the Circle IPO hype, Tether's eye-popping profits, its growing presence in the U.S. Treasuries and Bitcoin mining, and how grassroots distribution across emerging markets powers its dominance. Paolo also gives a glimpse into Tether's ambitions in AI, tokenized gold, and the battle to distribute the dollar where banks can't reach. ------
