In this episode of CopperCasts our Head of Research, Fadi Aboualfa, speaks with Gordon Liao, Chief Economist at Circle, about how stablecoins will fundamentally change financial market infrastructure.

Gordon explains how he believes a stablecoin should be structured in the future, taking into account the recent events.
