TRM Talks: Financial Inclusion and the Case for Stablecoins with Circle’s Dante Disparte

This week on TRM Talks, Ari sits down with Circle’s Dante Disparte to discuss his journey from Libra to Circle, the power of digital assets for financial inclusion, coming stablecoin regulation and the future of finance.

"Our pipes basically were broken," Dante said of the traditional financial system coming out of the pandemic. "And so we have seen an enormous uptake of digitally native payments. Financial services super apps are not a phenomenon yet in the United States. But I think that direction of travel is coming. And fundamentally, today, USDC already is a digital store of value for millions of users around the world, and it's an export product of the United States, because most of the world's currencies, in the extreme, may not be worth the paper they are printed on, or they're just hyper volatile and they don't interoperate with the global banking system.”
