In the latest podcast episode, Christie H. Kristensen sits down with Simon Seiter, Managing Director at AllUnity (a EUR stablecoin for global use), to unpack the rise of stablecoins, the dominance of the US dollar, and what Europe must do to compete in the digital financial era.

In this episode, we explore:

What stablecoins actually are (EUR & USD on blockchain)

Why stablecoin payments are instant, 24/7, and near zero-fee

How businesses can start experimenting with small pilots

The massive USD dominance in the stablecoin market (99.9%)

Why euro stablecoins lag behind

The geopolitical impact of US Treasury backing

The Genius Act and its implications for non-US issuers

Why stablecoin issuers buying short-term US Treasury bills strengthens US refinancing

Why Europe needs a level playing field and consistent EU reserve rules

The concept of programmable money and streaming payments

Autonomous agents, machine wallets, and agentic commerce

Financial sovereignty in the digital age

We also discuss a crucial but uncomfortable truth: some actors profit when money moves slowly. Stablecoins change that.This conversation is for leaders in fintech, payments, blockchain, digital assets, treasury, policy, and anyone interested in the future of finance, DeFi, MiCA regulation, euro stablecoins, and digital sovereignty.

If Europe wants to compete with US dollar stablecoins like USDT and USDC, experimentation is key.

Simon’s advice: Try it out.
