Why Every Company Will Launch a Stablecoin: verUSD with Verona's Anthony Anzalone

Verona, the network formerly known as XION, launched verUSD: a dollar stablecoin built for AI agents, with more than $100 million in launch commitments. On his fourth time on Crypto Coin Show, founder and CEO Anthony Anzalone explains why a network built to verify data decided to create its own money, after being the first chain to use USDC as gas.

Anthony covers why every company should have its own stablecoin after the GENIUS Act, why he tells people not to hold verUSD, how USDC and USDT become the "last mile", why AI agent payments came in at a fraction of the predictions ("probably absolutely nothing" yet), whether AI is the next crypto bubble, the US-China AI race, proof of reserves for new stablecoins, Verona's post-quantum upgrade, and booking his own flights with an AI agent. Not financial advice.
