Gordon Liao, Chief Economist at Circle, joins the discussion on the rising trend of stablecoin-native chains like Circle's ARC and Stripe + Paradigm's Tempo. They delve into the complexities of FX markets and how on-chain solutions could revolutionize costs. The conversation shifts to Solana's ambitions for a native stablecoin and the dynamics of ecosystem bargaining as exchanges negotiate their own stable options. Finally, they ponder whether 'stablecoin-as-a-service' is the future breakthrough or just another liquidity trap.
