  • SOB: Can Stablecoins Survive?

    Join hosts Adam B. Levine and Stephanie Murphy along with special guest Josh Scigala, CEO of Vaultoro, for a wide-ranging exploration of the growing asset class of "Stablecoins."

    This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io, KuCoin and DeFiHorse.

    On this episode we discuss:

    • The possibility of central banks or regulators banning private 1:1 stablecoins.
    • The challenges faced by early, decentralized, overcollateralized stablecoins.
    • How negative interest rates will drive 1:1 stablecoins into fractional reserve.
    • The potential weaponization of unlimited money printing to take control of limited resources.
    • The scenario where governments freeze bank accounts connected to 1:1 backed coins in an attempt to destroy the wider crypto economy.
    • The Potential for mismanagement of funds by 1:1 companies and threat of a Lehman brothers 2.0
    • The shrinking but still dangerous dearth of transparency within the biggest stablecoin balance sheets
    • Why regulators can't seem to keep up with real solutions
    • Why Josh believes decentralised stablecoins present a better set of tradeoffs.
