View a recording of the show below:

We started “Stablecoins Are Killing It” because we believe that stablecoins are the the most exciting thing going on in crypto today, as witnessed by the dramatic growth in their market cap.

Our 1st episode of “Stablecoins Are Killing It”, on April 30, was entertaining, insightful, and very well attended. So we’re eager to continue the dialogue in Episode #2.

Topics we’ll discuss include what’s driving the growth of stablecoins, what stablecoins are best positioned for future growth, what the entry of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) mean, what’s up with Libra, and why Ethereum is the dominant platform for stablecoins.

We start the show with each guest giving a 5–10 minute overview of their thoughts. We then engage in highly interactive Q&A, as audience members with questions are asked to join the dialogue, creating a vibrant environment for discussion, education, and debate.

Our esteemed guests for Episode #2 are:

Ganesh Viswanath-Natraj— Assistant Professor of Finance at Warwick Business School. Ganesh’s research focuses on arbitrage conditions in foreign exchange and cryptocurrency markets, with recent research on stablecoins, a class of cryptocurrencies that are pegged to the US Dollar. Key findings of his research are that stablecoin issuance can be explained as maintaining a decentralized system of exchange rate pegs and acting as a safe haven in the digital asset economy.
