Episode notes
Stablecoins Could Reshape Global Treasury Ownership
- Stablecoins on public permissionless chains could hold trillions and become a top holder of US treasuries within years.
- This will transform finance by creating a new internet-native Western-aligned financial stack.
Execution Layer Versus Settlement Layer
- Solana was built as a high-throughput execution layer optimized for low latency and global synchronization.
- Anatoly contrasts this with Ethereum as a settlement layer and sees execution as where most value accrues.
Regulators Versus Protocol Agility
- Regulated exchanges have the advantage of compliance but lack global reach and agility.
- Once public keys become accepted interfaces, incumbents like NASDAQ can simply run protocol nodes and benefit from the open stack.
