Scaling Stablecoins Without Banks: Inside M0’s Complexity Abstraction Machine

Episode notes

In this episode of The Smart Economy Podcast, host Dylan Grabowski is joined by Gregory Di Prisco, co-founder and Chief Architect at M0, a platform that aims to empower builders of application-specific stablecoins. What you’ll learn: Why the future of stablecoins may lie in modular infrastructure rather than monolithic issuers like Circle and Tether How M0's extension model enables partners to launch custom stablecoins while abstracting complexity The key differences between the GENIUS Act and the STABLE Act Why consumer experience will drive mainstream stablecoin adoption How yield distribution and compliance can be modularized through third-party service providers Why dollar-denominated stablecoins continue to dominate despite macro uncertainty How stablecoins could integrate into everyday transactions within five years, largely invisible to end users And much more! With a background in futures trading and involvement in cryptocurrency dating back to 2010, Gregory has held key positions, including Head of Business Development at MakerDAO and co-founder of Distributed Capital, one of the first crypto VCs.
