“Stablecoins Are Killing It” Ep. #12 — Thursday, Aug 20th, 1–2pm EST Featuring Celo & DeFiDollar

We started “Stablecoins Are Killing It” on April 25th, 2020, because stablecoins were the fastest growing segment of crypto, growing by $2.4 billion in Q1 ’20 to $8B. That 40% quarterly growth accelerated in Q2, to 48%, as stablecoins added another $3.8 billion in market cap. We’ve added more than $3 billion in the first half of Q3, as growth continues to accelerate:

But it’s still early days for stablecoins, with some predicting that stablecoin market cap will exceed $1 trillion by 2025.

The first 11 episodes have been entertaining and packed with insight, data and context for understanding the rapidly evolving stablecoin ecosystem. During the 1st half of our shows, our featured panelists give 10 minute overview presentations. The 2nd half of our shows feature audience Q&A where we open up the audio & video for audience members to ask questions and comment, creating a vibrant environment for discussion and debate.
