Observes USDT freeze mechanics versus USDC

Bank-backed stablecoins are the winning model.

Speaker mentioned Tether has an internal team and high thresholds for freezing funds, implying a more controlled and responsive approach compared to Circle. Tether's ability to freeze funds based on internal assessment may make it safer during security incidents, attracting users seeking stability in emergencies. Watch USDT as it could benefit from perceived better security management and increased adoption relative to USDC in the stablecoin market. Tether's policies might lack transparency or face regulatory scrutiny, potentially offsetting advantages.

The speaker cites Tether adding 30-40 million users per quarter, attributing much of it to store of value and remittance use, and identifies remittances as a "second area of huge... growth potential" for TON. USDT is the primary stablecoin for cross-border value transfer in emerging markets. TON's strategy to grow in remittances directly benefits USDT as the dominant asset in that use case. LONG as TON's expansion into payments and remittances is likely to drive increased demand and utility for the most widely used stablecoin in those corridors. Regulatory crackdown on USDT or the rise of a competing stablecoin better integrated with TON/Telegram.

"We have found a first use case for blockchain technology that is really addressing one big huge problems... the one of payments which is a trillion dollar problem." He notes that currently, cross-border transfers are slow (3 days) and have opaque fees. The incumbent system is an "efficient monopoly" that has refused to innovate. Stablecoins provide the solution to this friction. As infrastructure (wallets, compliance, connectivity) matures, volume will inevitably migrate from legacy SWIFT-style rails to blockchain rails to capture this efficiency. Long the sector. The friction is too high in the legacy system for it to survive without adopting this tech. Regulatory crackdowns or compliance failures, as the speaker notes "regulation and compliance is inevitable" when touching fiat.

CJ explicitly states, "RWA is something that everybody's looking at... 90% of consensus this year is going to cover these topics." He notes Tether (USDT) is the most successful RWA to date. As TradFi market makers and banks enter the space (which CJ notes is happening), capital will flow primarily into assets that bridge Web2 and Web3 (securities/RWAs). LONG the RWA narrative and infrastructure. Regulatory classification of RWAs as unregistered securities leading to delistings.

"Stable coins are obviously the best and first use case... equities are probably the second." Stablecoins are the settlement layer for tokenized equities. You cannot buy "Tesla X" on a blockchain with fiat easily; you use USDT or USDC. As the volume of tokenized equities grows (currently $20B), the velocity and demand for stablecoins as the medium of exchange must logically increase. LONG. Stablecoins are the "picks and shovels" of the tokenized asset economy. Regulatory legislation targeting stablecoin issuers (e.g., Tether/Circle) or banking rail failures.

Sun states, "I think tokenized securities in particular, there's no doubt that's where the future is." He notes that new builders are gravitating specifically towards stablecoins and tokenized assets because barriers to build are virtually zero. If the "next set of builders" is focusing here, capital and innovation will flow into RWA and Stablecoin infrastructure. Robinhood's pivot to support this natively confirms the institutional trend. LONG. Regulatory fragmentation across jurisdictions (as noted by Koi).

Zolan states that "70% plus of people say yes, we'd like to be able to spend it" and Go Mining is rolling out a "Simple Earn" product that pays yield every four hours on these assets without lockups, alongside a debit card. The transition of crypto from a passive "pet rock" asset to a high-velocity currency with native yield generation increases utility and demand. If friction decreases (via cards/apps), velocity of money for these specific L1s and stablecoins increases. LONG. The integration of yield + spending utility creates a sticky ecosystem for these assets. Regulatory crackdowns on "yield" products or banking rail failures.

A discussed macro thesis argues that AI agents will bypass traditional payment rails (Visa/Mastercard) to avoid interchange fees, opting for stablecoins on high-throughput chains for "fractions of a penny." Agents are rational economic actors that will ruthlessly optimize costs. If an agent can settle a transaction for $0.001 on Solana vs. 2.5% via Visa, the volume of agent-to-agent commerce will migrate entirely to crypto rails. LONG high-throughput L1s and Stablecoin issuers as the preferred settlement layer for the machine economy. Regulatory crackdowns on stablecoins; legacy payment processors adapting their fee structures.

Omid argues regarding Iran: "If the regime falls, the banking system surely falls... this ultimately shows why the world needs a independent digital financial system." In countries with "draconian capital controls" or failing regimes (Iran, Venezuela), the local banking system is an arm of state theft. The collapse of these regimes creates a structural vacuum that only dollarized stablecoins or Bitcoin can fill for wealth preservation. LONG the asset class as a hedge against sovereign/regime failure. Internet shutdowns or extreme government crackdowns blocking access to digital rails.
