Bitcoin, Fiat & Rock'n'Roll Dollar Dominance Through Stablecoins
In this episode of Bitcoin, Fiat, Rock & Roll, we dive into the shifting global regulatory landscape for digital assets and stablecoins—focusing on the growing influence of the United States.
Our guest, Hagen Weiß, a seasoned blockchain lawyer and former BaFin and Finance Ministry official, brings insider perspectives on how U.S. regulatory momentum—particularly around stablecoins—is reshaping the international playing field.
We explore: 🇺🇸 The Genius Act and its potential to turn stablecoins into a geopolitical tool for U.S. dollar dominance 🇪🇺 How Europe is responding—with a focus on MiCA, CBDCs, and potential overregulation 📉 Why DeFi tokens are under pressure despite seemingly favorable U.S. leadership changes 💼 The future of yield-bearing stablecoins, tokenized money market funds, and institutional custody ⚖️ What regulators around the world can (and should) learn from each other
Hagen also shares candid insights on the future of governance tokens, regulatory clarity, and how startups can survive—and thrive—under evolving crypto frameworks.
👉 Whether you're a legal pro, DeFi builder, policymaker, or crypto enthusiast, this episode is your essential briefing on the fast-evolving regulatory chessboard.
