Stablecoin Solutions

In this shorter July 4th–weekend episode, host Carlo D'Angelo recaps a busy week in stablecoins with markets closed and Washington heading into recess. CLARITY Act stuck in the mud.  The market-structure bill — and its stablecoin yield provisions, where banks scored a partial win by blocking passive yield — missed its hoped-for July 4th signing. The new plan is to introduce it on the Senate fl...

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent took the stage at the Economic Club of New York and, in this host's reading, finally said the quiet part out loud: whoever writes the rules for digital assets and tokenized finance will shape the century—and those rules should be written in Washington. This episode unpacks what that means through the lens of the "dollar's third act": after Bretton...

It's a milestone episode! Today marks the launch of the first-ever   Stablecoin Strategist Intelligence Repor t  — an in-depth breakdown of the proposed FinCEN/OFAC rules under the Genius Act, written through the lens of nearly 30 years of criminal defense experience. This isn't another compliance checklist. It's a guide to reading the rules for the enforcement actions and indictments...

In just three days, three of the biggest sectors in money movement, the big banks, the credit card networks, and the money remittance giants, all signaled exactly where they stand on stablecoins. This week, I break down what these near-simultaneous moves reveal about where the industry is heading and just how disruptive fully regulated stablecoins are poised to be. First up: America's three la...

In this solo Friday episode, the host breaks down what may be one of the most significant stablecoin adoption milestones yet: Cash App's rollout of USDC to roughly 60 million users across Solana, Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum. Why does this matter so much? Because Jack Dorsey's Block just turned one of America's most-used payment apps into a massive distribution channel for stablecoi...

Carlo welcomes John Wingate from BankSocial for a wide-ranging breakdown of the most consequential week in crypto policy yet. They dig into Elizabeth Warren's meltdown at the Senate Banking Committee, her letter to the OCC over the nine new trust charters, and why her anti-crypto crusade is now hurting the very consumers she claims to protect. John explains how Fed Chair Waller's push to e...

The Clarity Act just cleared the Senate Banking Committee — a massive milestone for crypto and stablecoin legislation. In this episode, I break down what happened during Thursday's markup vote, why Senator Elizabeth Warren's 44 amendments were defeated across the board, and how the banking lobby completely fumbled the bag in their final push to kill stablecoin rewards. I also walk through...

Carlo is joined by co-host John Wingate of BankSocial for another no-punches-pulled breakdown of the stablecoin and broader crypto landscape. The guys open on the alarming milestone of U.S. national debt eclipsing GDP for the first time since WWII—and what currency debasement really means for the average consumer. From there, it's a packed hour covering everything from Big Payments capitulatin...

On this week's Stablecoin Solutions Show, I'm joined by John Wingate from BankSocial for a wide-ranging, no-holds-barred conversation on the fault lines running through the stablecoin and DeFi landscape right now. We kick off with the state of the Clarity Act — why I think the banks are quietly slow-walking it toward the midterms where it likely dies, why John thinks the bigger problem is...

Clarity Act Secrecy, Circle's Freeze Dilemma & Paulson's "Break the Glass" Warning In this week's Stablecoin Solutions Show, Carlo breaks down three major developments reshaping the stablecoin landscape — and why consumers are being left out of the conversation. First up: the Clarity Act. Senator Tillis has pushed back the release of draft language on stablecoin yield provisions, and reporting...

I'm covering three big stories this week. First, I lay out my thesis that stablecoins are the dollar's third act — from Bretton Woods to the petrodollar to a digital dollar reserve system built on the GENIUS Act. The Iran war may have just put the final nail in the petrodollar coffin, and I think Treasury Secretary Bessent knows it. Second, the White House backed up what I've been sayi...

Are we living through a “silent depression” — and what does that mean for young people trying to build wealth? Robert (“Infra”) joins Carlo to explain why the economy feels harder than the data suggests—and how debt, debasement, and liquidity cycles are reshaping the future. This episode connects macro trends to real life outcomes, and explores Bitcoin, stablecoins, and Treasury policy as mechanis...

Bitcoin as Pristine Collateral, Stablecoins, and the Future of Finance In Episode 2 of the Stablecoin Solutions Podcast, I sit down with  CJ Konstantinos , founder of People’s Reserve, for a wide-ranging and deeply technical conversation on where Bitcoin, stablecoins, and traditional banking are headed. CJ is a longtime Bitcoiner with a background in accounting and finance, and he brings a rare ab...

In this roundtable chat we discussed the passage of the GENIUS Act and how fully-regulated, 1-to-1 dollar-backed stablecoins will totally redefine how we move money. For the first time ever, consumers, businesses and family offices can now send and receive cash at the speed of the internet, as opposed to the speed of banks. Now that the GENIUS Act has been signed into law, the United States Treasu...
