In this fireside chat with Circle co-founder, chairman, and CEO Jeremy Allaire, we discussed the rise of stablecoins, the state of regulation of stablecoins, and the potential for greater inclusion through new financial technology (fintech). The dialogue cut through much of the hype of cryptocurrency – stablecoins in particular – and dove into the two important and distinct issues surrounding stablecoins: financial stability and inclusion.

This event was part of the Brookings Center on Regulation and Markets’ Series on Financial Markets and Regulation, which looks at financial institutions and markets broadly and explores how regulatory policy affects consumers, businesses, investors, fintech, financial stability, and economic growth.
