Episode notes

- European stablecoin rules often favor incumbent banks, which deters issuance and adoption.
- Mandates like high reserve requirements make euro stablecoins unattractive to issuers.
ETF Demand Without Immediate Price Surge
- XRP and Dogecoin ETFs showed strong first-day demand but produced muted price moves overall.
- ETF listing created stock-market access without immediately unlocking large price appreciation.
