In this solo episode of BFRR – Bitcoin, Fiat & Rock ‘n’ Roll, Manuel dives deep into the fast-evolving world of stablecoins—their structure, use cases, and the challenges that stand between them and mass adoption in traditional finance.

Manuel begins by exploring what makes stablecoins unique compared to traditional account-based money such as bank deposits or fintech balances like PayPal or Venmo. The key difference? Stablecoins are bearer instruments on public blockchains—digital cash anyone can hold and transfer without needing an account, provided they're not on a blacklist.

From there, Manuel examines the regulatory developments across the globe—especially in the EU, US, and Asia—that are bringing stablecoins under the umbrella of regulated financial instruments. Manuel also touches on the debate around whether stablecoins should be yield-bearing, and how that impacts their use as a store of value versus a medium of exchange.

Next, Manuel moves into the real-world use cases—from crypto trading and remittances to B2B and B2C payments, merchant ecosystems, and interbank settlement. You'll hear insights into current adoption trends, including figures from recent studies by BCG and Castle Island Ventures, which estimate payments-based stablecoin volume ranging between $6B and $100B/month.

Finally, Manuel tackles the infrastructure and regulatory hurdles still holding stablecoins back: the need for efficient on/off ramps (the “stablecoin sandwich”), compliance with the travel rule, lack of bulk payment capabilities, and the risks of unintended dollarization in emerging markets.

Whether you're new to digital assets or deep in the crypto weeds, this episode offers a comprehensive overview of the state of stablecoins in payments—where we are today and where we might be heading.

In this news-packed episode of Bitcoin Fiat & Rock’n’Roll, hosts Manuel, Jonas, and Stefan return to dissect May’s hottest developments in the world of digital money and crypto. The crypto market surged to a $3.4 trillion valuation, with Ethereum climbing nearly 50% and Bitcoin reaching a new all-time high of $112,000 – at least in USD.

We deep-dive into the rising momentum around stablecoins. Mastercard, Visa, and Stripe are embracing stablecoins with full force – from wallet integration to direct merchant settlement – signaling a tectonic shift in payments infrastructure. Stripe’s move to support USDC-based accounts in underserved markets shows the global dollarization narrative gaining real traction.

We also unpack Coinbase’s X402, a new payment protocol reviving the old HTTP 402 status code to enable microtransactions—especially for AI agents. Stefan explains how this could reshape the future of machine-to-machine payments.

Public blockchain adoption is growing, with banks joining the race. JP Morgan expands its Onyx network and trials public chain integrations, while Morgan Stanley and others begin offering crypto access to clients. 21X launched its tokenized securities platform in Europe, and Robinhood and Kraken are moving into tokenized stocks.

We close with “Knowledge Bites,” covering Google’s use of ZK proofs, Trump’s crypto ventures, and Microsoft’s vision of an agentic web that could replace SaaS.

It’s clear: from stablecoins to smart protocols, the financial future is arriving faster than expected.

In this thought-provoking episode of Bitcoin, Fiat & Rock’n’Roll (BFRR), hosts Jonas and Alex dive deep into the future of digital finance with special guest Co-Pierre Georg, Professor of Practice in Digital Finance and Technology at the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management and the new Director of the Frankfurt School Blockchain Center.

Co-Pierre shares his journey from physicist to economist, central banker to academic innovator—touching on systemic risk, interbank markets, and his early fascination with blockchain technology. The discussion spans his work across continents, including a transformative fintech program in South Africa aimed at empowering underrepresented students and incubating real-world blockchain startups.

As the new director of the Blockchain Center, Co-Pierre outlines a bold, academically rigorous vision for the future—pivoting the center toward deeper research while maintaining strong ties with the industry. He outlines three core research themes: Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), blockchain-based digital property rights, and systemic risks in crypto markets. The episode sheds light on key developments, such as Frankfurt School’s upcoming MSc in Financial Technology and the rethinking of flagship programs like Web3 Talents.

The latter half of the episode sparks a candid and critical debate around Bitcoin’s role as a payment system, store of value, and speculative asset. Co-Pierre explains why he views Bitcoin’s use case as fundamentally flawed—from systemic liquidity concerns, Tether-related risks, and inequality of ownership, to its suitability as a societal instrument of value. Jonas and Alex counter with insights on Bitcoin’s resilience, digital scarcity, and potential as a decentralized hedge or digital gold.

Whether you’re a crypto skeptic, advocate, or curious thinker, this episode delivers a rich, nuanced perspective on the tensions between academic rigor, market hype, and technological promise in the evolving world of digital money.

Tune in to challenge your assumptions—and help shape the future of money.

🎧 EPISODE: Transatlantic Rifts – US vs EU Crypto Regulation with Jón Helgi Egilsson

Welcome back to Bitcoin, Fiat & Rock’n’Roll, where monetary theory meets blockchain innovation. In this episode, host Michael Blaschke dives into the diverging regulatory landscapes shaping the future of digital finance. The U.S. and the EU are carving different paths in regulating cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and blockchain infrastructure—an ideological and practical split with global consequences.

Joining us is Jón Helgi Egilsson, Executive Director and co-founder of Monerium, whose unique vantage point spans central banking, fintech entrepreneurship, and both sides of the Atlantic. With a PhD in economics, leadership roles in central banking, and nearly a decade running a European blockchain finance company, Jón breaks down the core philosophical and strategic differences between the U.S.’s market-driven approach and Europe’s sovereignty-first stance.

We unpack how Europe's MiCA regulation contrasts with the U.S.’s Genius Act and forthcoming Stablecoin Act, revealing different views on innovation, risk, and monetary control. John offers a candid critique of the ECB's competitive role in retail digital currencies and explains why requiring non-bank issuers to route through 12 intermediaries may contradict the very ethos of blockchain.

Whether you're a policymaker, bank executive, fintech innovator, or investor, this episode delivers essential insights into how today’s decisions around CBDCs, stablecoins, and bank integration will shape tomorrow’s financial system.

In this special May edition of Bitcoin, Fiat & Rock’n’Roll (BFRR), we dive deep into April’s most explosive developments in crypto — from Bitcoin dominance and Ethereum’s narrative struggles to the evolving global stablecoin landscape. Hosts Alex and Michael are joined by Simon Seiter, CFO & CPO of AllUnity, one of Europe’s most ambitious euro stablecoin projects, for a timely conversation about the latest market dynamics, policy shifts, and business models shaping the digital currency ecosystem.

The episode kicks off with a sharp analysis of Bitcoin and Ethereum's price action throughout April. Bitcoin showed strength amid traditional market turbulence, outperforming equities and absorbing institutional capital through record-breaking ETF inflows. Meanwhile, Ethereum lagged behind, raising new questions about its long-term value proposition — especially compared to emerging alternatives like Solana.

Our focus then shifts to the rapidly evolving stablecoin sector. The team breaks down Circle’s newly filed IPO and uncovers key financial figures — revealing a growing, but heavily subsidized business model with distribution costs exceeding 60% of revenue. Simon offers behind-the-scenes insight into the economics of issuing regulated stablecoins in Europe and how the market is shaped by both U.S. dominance and European regulatory uncertainty.

We also discuss PayPal’s attempt to pay interest on stablecoin holdings, the SEC’s formal declaration that USDC and USDT are not securities, and growing signs of institutional engagement — including Bank of America’s hint at entering the stablecoin space. The episode also covers Circle’s new global payment network, Revolut’s record crypto profits, Ripple’s acquisition of prime broker Hidden Road, and the birth of 21.co — a Bitcoin-native company backed by Bitfinex, Tether, and SoftBank.

Finally, the episode touches on widening policy gaps between the U.S. and Europe, as U.S. regulators embrace stablecoins as a geopolitical tool, while the ECB warns against them in defense of the digital euro. We unpack what this divergence means for the future of payments, monetary sovereignty, and innovation.

🎧 Tune in for sharp takes, honest analysis, and an uncensored look into crypto’s most important financial and political battlegrounds.

Welcome to another episode of BFRR – Bitcoin, Fiat & Rock'n'Roll, the podcast where traditional finance, digital assets, and digital money meet! This time, hosts Jonas and Alex dive deep into one of the hottest and most debated topics in the digital asset world: Bitcoin reserves.

Following earlier episodes that explored bullish and bearish perspectives with guests like Frank Schäffler (German Liberal Party) and Jürgen Schaaf (European Central Bank), Jonas and Alex now take the stage themselves. After much community interest in hearing their own views, they tackle the question head-on: Should countries build up Bitcoin reserves?

The discussion kicks off with a look at the groundbreaking move by Donald Trump, who initiated the formation of a U.S. Bitcoin reserve using confiscated Bitcoins — a step that could have major implications for global crypto policy. The hosts compare U.S. strategies to Germany’s recent Bitcoin sales and explore various ideas being floated to expand the reserve without burdening taxpayers, including revaluing U.S. gold holdings and issuing Bitcoin bonds.

Throughout the episode, Jonas and Alex structure the concept of "Bitcoin reserves" into three distinct types:

Strategic reserves for crisis supply management (like oil or medical stockpiles)

Is Bitcoin too volatile to be a reliable reserve asset?

In this episode of Bitcoin, Fiat & Rock’n’Roll, hosts Alexander Bechtel and Stefan Grasmann welcome back Professor Fabian Schär of the University of Basel to discuss one of the most pressing and complex questions in financial technology today: Can permissionless blockchains serve as the foundational infrastructure for future financial markets?

Professor Schär—renowned for his work at the intersection of finance, economics, and distributed ledger technology—recently authored a comprehensive report for the European Commission titled Enhancing Financial Services with Permissionless Blockchains. The conversation builds on that report, exploring how public, decentralized platforms might offer a neutral, composable, and resilient alternative to the fragmented and institutionally controlled systems we rely on today.

The episode unpacks key concepts such as composability, atomicity, and the importance of governance in blockchain ecosystems. It also critically examines common misconceptions—like the notion that blockchain’s value lies primarily in programmability or fractionalization—and instead focuses on the unique governance and trust properties that permissionless platforms can offer.

Together, the trio explores the shifting landscape of blockchain adoption by financial institutions, the growing interest from central banks in EVM-compatible infrastructure, and the challenges of privacy, scalability, and validator neutrality. Professor Schär does not shy away from the risks, including the potential for centralization and governance capture—even on platforms that start out open.

Whether you’re a policy maker, financial professional, or blockchain researcher, this episode offers deep insights into the technical, regulatory, and philosophical questions surrounding the digital future of finance.
