    The Bitcoin-Backed Stablecoin That Ditches US Treasuries w/ David Seroy

    Every popular stablecoin — Tether, USDC — is ultimately backed by US Treasuries, which means a handful of entities can freeze, seize, or censor your funds at will. In this conversation, David Seroy of Alpen Labs explains to Bitcoin Magazine's Shinobi why a Bitcoin-backed stablecoin is the credible alternative the space has been missing. They cover the immutable Liquity protocol, Bitcoin ZK rollups, and how to mint a dollar that inherits Bitcoin's security.
