As the co-founder and CEO of Circle — the fintech powerhouse that issues USDC, a popular cryptocurrency pegged to the US dollar — Jeremy Allaire has had a front-row seat to the crypto revolution. Circle now commands a market cap of over $20 billion, yet Jeremy insists it is still an “early stage company.” Why? Because the true transformation of the global economy, he says, is just beginning.
In this episode, Jeremy and Rufus discuss how the economic system is becoming “internet native,” what happens when money becomes programmable, and why blockchain is the “major missing layer’ of the internet.
