Ep 78 | The Power of Frictionless Rails with Rob Goldstein of BlackRock*
With over $8.5 trillion assets under management, BlackRock* is the world’s largest money manager. Its influence on Wall Street, in Washington, and beyond, is hard to overstate. A key reason for the firm’s success is the steady hand of Rob Goldstein, the firm’s COO and Head of BlackRock Solutions. Goldstein joined BlackRock in 1994. In the years since, he’s been named twice to Fortune's "40 under 40" list and has been identified as one of the top technology entrepreneurs in the financial services industry by Institutional Investor's "Tech 50" list.
At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in January 2023, Rob joined Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire for a discussion about the nature of asset management, attacking institutional inefficiencies, and the growing collaboration between Circle and BlackRock. Together, they explore how a new, frictionless infrastructure layer on the internet can generate transformative opportunities in the years to come. -
Ep 77 | The Evolution of Money with Niall Ferguson*
The Hoover Institution’s Niall Ferguson* is one of the world’s most accomplished historians. He’s the best-selling author of many books, including the seminal work, “The Ascent of Money.”
At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in January 2023, Niall joined Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire for a wide-ranging conversation about the evolution of money, credit, central banks, and some of the values that guide innovation. Together, they put current developments in the crypto ecosystem into a broader historical context. -
Ep 76 | Escaping the Splinternet with Vitalik Buterin* of Ethereum
Blockchain and financial applications have been linked from the beginning. When Satoshi Nakamato published the original Bitcoin white paper in 2008, he titled it, “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.” Today, the lion’s share of crypto headlines are about financial losses. So it’s understandable that people associate chains with financial assets.
But open, public blockchains have massive utility beyond financial applications. One of the first innovators to recognize this potential was Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin*.
In Ethereum, the Russian-Canadian computer programmer has conceived, developed, and upgraded a decentralized chain with smart-contract functionality and made it into a transformative piece of infrastructure that enables new forms of political, corporate, and social organizations. (USDC circulates on many blockchains; as of January 12, 2023, a majority of the supply circulates on Ethereum.)
In a conversation they recorded this past September in San Francisco at Converge22, Circle’s inaugural ecosystem summit, Vitalik and Jeremy Allaire reviewed Ethereum’s important technological progress, impediments to scaling utility, and the new models of cooperation this base layer of trust can enable. -
Ep 75 | Principles of Financial Regulation with Lawrence H. Summers of Harvard University
Secretary of the Treasury. Director of the National Economic Council. President of Harvard University. Washington Post columnist. Economist Larry Summers has held some of the most prestigious roles in public life. Across them all, Dr. Summers has brought an unflinching commitment to incisive observations, even when they cut against the grain.
On the major global macroeconomic issues of our time, Summer’s views aren’t always the popular ones, but they are not easily dismissed.
Summer’s leadership in the Obama White House in the aftermath of the 2007-2008 financial crisis gives him special insight into the importance of effective regulation of financial markets. Understanding how policymakers should regulate stablecoins was the subject of a fireside chat between Jeremy Allaire and Larry Summers this past September at Converge22, Circle’s inaugural ecosystem summit. (Dr. Summers was compensated for his appearance at Converge22.)
