Stablecoins are no longer on the sidelines — they’re stepping into the core of global finance.
In this episode of Couchonomics with Arjun, we're joined by Dante Disparte, Chief Strategy Officer & Head of Global Policy at Circle, for his second appearance on the show. Speaking from Washington, DC, Dante brings a timely perspective on how digital finance is evolving — and why it matters now more than ever.
We unpack:
- Stablecoins as real financial infrastructure for payments, remittances, and cross-border flows
- How smart regulation acts as a catalyst for trust, adoption, and institutional capital
- CBDCs and tokenisation — separating hype from substance, and where they’ll truly reshape markets and inclusion
- Why MENA is emerging as a global hub for digital assets, with the UAE leading from the front
If you want to understand how money itself is being rebuilt — not just the apps we use, but the foundations beneath the system — this conversation with Dante is essential listening.
