Ours is a labor of love at @circle and I truly love what we do and why we do it. Because nothing worth doing is worth doing alone, we are proud to contribute to more inclusive financial access around the world with $USDC.

What happens when AI can not only make decisions, but also move money? In the latest episode of Unconventional Knowledge, Prince Michael of Liechtenstein @MvLiechtenstein and Dante Disparte explore one of the less obvious consequences of programmable digital money: the convergence of stablecoins and AI. 🎧 Listen: gisreportsonline.com/p/money… All platforms: buzzsprout.com/2017475/episo… Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/fr/podcas… Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/6b4… YouTube: piped.video/MZI4lxHh2xA

Not every AI agent uses stablecoins. But when AI agents need to transact with stablecoins, USDC is the preferred choice. Dante Disparte on the intersection of blockchain, AI, and digital dollars.

Ten years ago today, Daniel Wagner and I published Global Risk Agility and Decision Making: Organizational Resilience in the Era of Man-Made Risk. At the time, many of the risks we examined could still seem abstract or distant. Over the decade since, each of the book’s protagonists has reared its ugly head. A global pandemic tested institutions, economies and communities. Cyber threats grew in scale and consequence. Political risk, conflict and economic nationalism reshaped markets and supply chains. The effects of a changing climate became more frequent, visible and costly. If the last decade taught us anything, it is that risks do not respect borders, sectors or planning cycles. They converge, compound and move faster than institutions built to manage them. The central premise of the book feels more urgent today than it did in 2016: risk management cannot remain a passive exercise in prevention or compliance. It must become a source of agility - a capacity to anticipate, adapt, absorb shocks and emerge stronger. The question is no longer whether these risks will materialize. They have. The challenge for the next decade is whether leaders will convert hard-earned lessons into renewed commitments to readiness, resilience and better decision-making. A decade later, the work of building a more risk-agile world continues. dantedisparte.com/book/globa…

Agree @SenLummis - @thehill got this right. Chris Land is a national treasure and his institutional knowledge of the Senate and his instinctive bipartisanship are how bills get passed.

The House Ways and Means Committee is making strong, bipartisan progress today on the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act. This sensible bill allows regulated digital dollars to be used and taxed like the dollar they represent. It also complements the GENIUS Act's legal framework and reinforces U.S. leadership in dollar-based digital finance.

We founded Circle with a vision that a new open economic layer would be built for the internet, enabling money, contracts and machines to operate on new distributed compute engines. That operating system just booted up for all today on @Arc arc.io/blog/arc-economic-os-…

Onchain finance is moving from the edge to the core. The next step is making it usable at mainstream, global scale. @arc Mainnet is live today, bringing together compliance-ready infrastructure, liquidity, interoperability, and developer tooling for financial applications built for internet scale.

The GENIUS Act established landmark U.S. rules for digital dollars and is foundational for Circle and the broader digital asset ecosystem. It also proved that Congress can find bipartisan common ground to ensure that the U.S. leads regulation of this growing industry. We encourage lawmakers to return to that same spirit to achieve a durable, bipartisan outcome for CLARITY.

An important milestone for the future of money and global trade. I commend the @WTO for shining a light on the emerging role of regulated stablecoins as a medium of exchange for cross-border commerce. A pragmatic view on both their opportunities and risks is welcome. Grateful to Director-General @NOIweala for her personal leadership and interest in this important work. The WTO’s engagement is timely and welcome. wto.org/english/news_e/news2…

The bipartisan GENIUS Act established U.S. law for digital dollars. The Senate's new CLARITY draft provides a strong, much-needed framework for digital asset markets. This is a historic opportunity to provide certainty, enhance protections, and strengthen U.S. crypto market leadership. We encourage lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to keep engaging toward a durable, bipartisan outcome.

What if the next geopolitical battlefield is not territory, trade or technology, but money itself? In the latest Unconventional Knowledge, Prince Michael of Liechtenstein @MvLiechtenstein talks with Dante Disparte @ddisparte about CBDCs, stablecoins and the growing competition over the networks that move money. Whoever controls those networks may soon have a say in who holds financial power. 🎧 Listen now: gisreportsonline.com/p/money… All platforms: buzzsprout.com/2017475/episo… Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/fr/podcas… Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/6b4… YouTube: piped.video/MZI4lxHh2xA

We’re backstage at @thestablecon sitting down with the speakers as they come off stage. @unvested_ spoke with @ddisparte about whether the US needs a CBDC. His answer? A US CBDC would be “against the American way of doing business.” They discuss why stablecoins should remain privately issued, how regulation can provide the guardrails, and why clearer accounting standards could be an important step toward mainstream adoption. #Stablecoins #CBDC #Fintech
