Jeremy Allaire on Circle’s ‘Multi-Decade’ Strategy and Where Stablecoin Regulation Is Headed
Circle’s CEO says his plan is to focus on building the most compliant, transparent, regulated, market neutral infrastructure, and the rest will follow.

It’s been a busy year for USDC issuer Circle, with several new product launches and partnerships, a crypto banking crisis to contend with, the entry of PayPal into the stablecoin business, and plenty of new global regulatory developments, including a bill in the U.S. now making its way through Congress. Circle co-founder and CEO Jeremy Allaire joins Unchained for an in-depth discussion on the reasons behind Coinbase’s investment in Circle, how Circle has emerged stronger from the banking crisis, what he thinks of PYUSD, what he likes and doesn’t like about the current U.S. stablecoin bill, and his thoughts on what the final bill will look like.
