Stablecoins are digital assets often tied to the value of a fiat currency, such as the dollar. They have the potential to reshape the financial and economic order. In this episode, Luke and Paul discuss what they are, how they may affect the ways in which we pay for goods and services, how they are being regulated and what it might mean economically. In the spotlight are public sector debt dynamics, the status of the US dollar, how central banks set monetary policy and whether stablecoins pose risks to financial stability.
