This take makes zero sense. It’s like saying air is a solution looking for a problem. Seems unnecessary. Oxygen, on the other hand, is incredibly useful.

vivek rajan6 months ago

Calling crypto useless while admitting stablecoins will run payments is a bit of a contradiction.

David R6 months ago

Endless fiat inflation is "not a problem".. ? Really Stan?.. :-) But US dollars as "stable coins" are GREAT!... 🤷‍♂️

Being sad that crypto happened but loving stablecoins is like being mad at the invention of the car but really enjoying the commute to work.

It’s a solution looking for a problem. The global fiat central banking cartel is the biggest problem humanity has ever had.

Innovation often appears useless to some. Anyone here scoff at Netflix when they announced streaming instead of sticking with their proven method of mailing DVD's?

Brandon Gentile6 months ago

Not sure if the video is real because something looks off. However, he’s right about crypto being useless though and not a store value. Only Bitcoin stores value SECURELY over time.

When u grow old...there is nothing wrong in updating oneself than talk of an old belief...in an ai centric world to come, there is no alternative to crypto to transact cross border

Druckenmiller's take on stablecoins works but crypto's utility is being built right now. It's not just flashy headlines.

There is no international payment system of stablecoins without a blockchain secured by a high value token Secure stablecoin transactions relies on a secure blockchain A secure blockchain relies on economic incentives, and the only way you have that is with a high value token

If stablecoins run payments in the future, crypto didn’t fail. It just became infrastructure.

I agree with him on his stablecoin view, but a lot of cryptos are actually trying to solve serious real-world issues. As well as working on blockchain technology in general.

Carl D6 months ago

Stablecoins are literally cryptocurrency. Also, stablecoins couldn't work at such a low cost and high throughput without the blockchain networks they run on. Native token rewards (crypto!) for those running that infrastructure is the only reason it all works.

Etherealize CEO Vivek Raman: Wall Street's understanding of ETH as "productive money" is starting to accelerate "BlackRock just launched their ETHB ETF for staked ETH, and in the marketing around that, they said ETH is an asset that actually generates yield. You're not just holding a digital asset store of value anymore. You're holding a digital asset store of value that has yield, and that starts to resemble how Wall Street thinks about US Treasuries." "[Wall Street] wants minimized counterparty risk, perfect collateral, and yield -- ETH packages that all together. Bitcoin was the original idea and is now understood as 'digital gold.' But the final form is what ETH is fulfilling as productive money." Michael McGuiness adds Stanley Druckenmiller as a datapoint who has called stablecoins (the vast majority of which are on Ethereum) "incredibly useful." "I assume our whole payments systems will be stablecoins in 10 or 15 years," Druckenmiller told Morgan Stanley. Mike continues: "That's the other aspect of what we mean by productive -- it's actually providing utility, and people are benefiting from it. It's not just pure speculation."

Stablecoins improve the dollar's transportation, Bitcoin challenges its monetary policy "The rise of stablecoins does not prove that Bitcoin failed. It proves that Bitcoin and stablecoins solve entirely different problems." "Stablecoins are optimized for spending, settlement and short-term stability. Bitcoin is optimized for scarcity, ownership and long-term independence from any issuer. Stablecoins promise one dollar tomorrow. Bitcoin refuses to promise a dollar price at all." "Stablecoins are the internet's checking account. Bitcoin is its savings account. One is built to move, the other is built to last." "If you are paying an invoice next week, volatility is a problem and a stablecoin may be useful. If you're trying to protect savings across decades from monetary expansion, that promise to track the dollar may be the problem." "Stablecoins improve the dollar's transportation. Bitcoin challenges the dollar's monetary policy."

The Economist says the stablecoin market is "fizzling." We asked Bridge co-founder Zach Abrams his response: "Our business grew 4x last year. Our business continues to grow enormously. We grew 20% over the last month alone. So, we certainly don't see stablecoins slowing down." "Stablecoin transaction volume is growing enormously. We see that the number of folks building with stablecoins is growing enormously." "We have folks from a bunch of banks who are leaning into stablecoins. Pretty much every fintech that you could think of that is meaningful is doing something with stablecoins (and probably doing it with us)." "Yesterday we announced with Meta that we're paying out folks in stablecoins." "So I do think that the hyperbole around stablecoins is dying down a little bit. And that creates the opportunity for some of this FUD." "For a long time people were pointing at every problem and being like, 'Crypto solves this.' And now they're no longer pointing at every problem and saying, 'Crypto solves this.' But very quietly, under the hood, it is solving a number of problems."

Interestingly, this is not yet a retail stablecoin, but one that will be used very heavily with eligible institutions and partners, backed by a massive institution in Standard Chartered" "I think this is just another small story in the advancement of stablecoins, but it's a signal that we will see stablecoins beyond US dollar backed ones becoming extremely popular over time" "I do think we will still see largely dominance in US dollar backed stablecoins, but stablecoins are moving forward all across the world in many different iterations, and this is an unstoppable force of nature"

Stablecoins are spreading across financial institutions, tokenized assets are reshaping trading, fintech companies are quietly building on crypto rails, and AI agents may rely on them to transact. The hype may be down, but the opportunity to build is not.

Goldman Sachs CEO and former U.S. Treasury Secretary: Stablecoins will be “enormous” “You can use stablecoins to very effectively — particularly in small transactions; big transactions you use FedWire — to go from US dollar stablecoins to euros or yen or other things. I think it is enormous, and I think the stablecoin legislation is a big step in the right direction,” says former U.S. Secretary Treasury Steven Mnuchin. Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon agrees: “Higher speed, less friction.” Both also agree that stablecoins are not a threat to the U.S. dollar, and will in fact strengthen it. Mnuchin explains: “If you have stablecoins that are backed by U.S. Treasuries, I don’t think the U.S. needs to issue its own stablecoin. I think you’re going to see enormous use cases for these.” “And enormous demand for the dollar over time,” Solomon adds. “To me, [stablecoins] strengthen the moat around the dollar and the dollar’s position as the global reserve currency.” Roughly 52% of all stablecoins live on Ethereum (~$163 billion). If you exclude Tron, Ethereum’s stablecoin dominance jumps to 71%. Source: Goldman Sachs (Mar 2026)
