In this week’s episode, we have on Anthony DeMartino and Mason Vollum from Trident Digital. We were introduced to them, as they are facilitating stablecoin growth for Paypal’s PYUSD, issued by Paxos. We wanted to bring them on the episode because of PYUSD’s budding relationship with Frax. We learned a lot about the opportunities and difficulties of stablecoins in DeFi, the role of Trident, how they are planning to use stablecoins in Central and South America, and also how they think banks will have an “aha” moment about this new type of digital money in the next few years.
