Dante Disparte (Circle): Stablecoins, UK Regulation, Agentic Commerce
Dante Disparte, Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Global Policy at Circle, discusses the UK's 'second mover advantage' on stablecoin regulation between the EU's MiCA and the US Genius Act. He covers stablecoins in the emerging agentic economy including Circle's AI-only hackathon, tokenization momentum at the IMF spring meetings, and the launch of Circle's layer-one blockchain Arc as an economic operating system for the internet.
Circle's Dante Disparte: ARK OS & Robot-to-Robot USDC
Dante Disparte closes his segment by describing ARK as an economic operating system for the internet, agnostic to token types, with privacy and quantum-ready features built in. He explains Circle's partnership with robotics company OpenMind to bring USDC payments to machine-to-machine, robot-to-robot commerce. He signs off arguing that you cannot have the economy of the future without the money of the future — stablecoins connected to the real economy.
