The interview explores the sweeping changes in global payments driven by stablecoins and tokenised assets, following the recent Genius Act in the U.S. This legislation effectively digitises the U.S. dollar, paving the way for asset-backed cryptocurrencies that use blockchain technology and are supported by cash or U.S. Treasuries. The discussion highlights how this shift is creating strong demand for short-term U.S. Treasury bills and could influence yields, similar to past quantitative easing.
The conversation also covers global regulatory developments, with countries like Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the EU advancing their own frameworks and pilot programs. Beyond payments, the interview delves into tokenised assets—digital representations of loans, infrastructure, and real estate—opening new opportunities for fractional ownership and greater accessibility. Key themes include the impact on payment systems, government debt markets, and the future of property and infrastructure investment.
