MARS Magazine Podcast Ep. 75: This time, we talk with Howard Wu, the creator of the first legally compliant privacy stablecoin, who joins Adario Strange to reveal why private crypto transactions can now legally exist inside U.S. regulation. They also delve into how privacy coins actually work, why pairing privacy with regulated stablecoins like Circle's USDC (via USDCx) matters, and how this approach differs from earlier projects like Meta’s Libra.

The conversation also spans Big Tech and finance, including Howard's time at Google and Meta, why many crypto startups build in San Francisco instead of New York next to Wall Street, the role of investors like Coinbase, a16z, and Sequoia, and where crypto, AI, and regulation are heading next, from prediction markets to quantum computing, and Howard delivers a major Bitcoin prediction.
