Nik Bhatia: Stablecoins Are a Trojan Horse for Bitcoin | Bitcoin Policy Hour Ep 35

The GENIUS Act passed last summer, and now Washington is asking the next question: what do we actually do with stablecoins? Nik Bhatia walks Ken Hagan through the layered money framework, the offshore Eurodollar plumbing, and why exporting U.S. dollar stablecoins is a direct response to the e-CNY rollout. Along the way, he explains why stablecoins are a hidden Bitcoin accelerant and why every dollar minted offshore eventually finds its way to layer-one money.
