Ep 48 | How the U.S. can win the digital currency race with Dante Disparte

Digital currency emerged in the late ‘80s as a group of computer programmers set out to protect people’s privacy in the digital world. This was known as the Cypherpunk Movement. David Chaum created DigiCash which utilized Blind Signature technology to guarantee privacy and safe transactions between individuals. In the ‘90s, Wei Dai created B-money, another digital currency, similar to what we know as Bitcoin today.  Innovation in the digital currency space has been exploding in recent years, from DigiCash to B-money to Bitcoin to Ethereum and now to stablecoins such as USDC, and will only continue to do so. Forward-thinking regulators will be able to harness this innovation for the benefit of their countries, and those that don’t...may be left behind. In this episode of The Money Movement, Jeremy is joined by Dante Disparte, Chief Strategy Officer & Head of Global Policy at Circle.
