    The Fed KILLED The Safest Bank In History | Darrell Duffie

    Darrell Duffie of Stanford is famous for being the world’s foremost scholar of financial market plumbing. Few will know that he was also a director of The Narrow Bank (TNB), the bank the Fed quietly strangled for the crime of being too safe. In this episode we cover: Why did TNB die? What are the parallels to the state of stablecoins today, if any? Do stablecoins actually threaten bank deposits? What does a Treasury security purpose-built for on-chain settlement look like? What tokenized assets should serve as the backbone of financial system of the future? Darrell’s Brookings paper with Don Wilson and TNB’s regulatory comment letter on Regulation D are both worth reading alongside this episode. 00:00 Intro 01:07 The Bank That Couldn’t Fail 03:53 Will Stablecoins Kill Lending? 07:54 Private Credit’s Run Problem 11:14 Too Safe to Exist 18:31 Why USDC Can’t Run Wall Street 25:21 The Narrow Bank Returns 28:22 If Duffie Ran Global Finance 31:25 The Stablecoin Sandwich Problem 34:20 The End of CLS? 40:31 Nubank vs. JPMorgan Brought to you by Codex, the stablecoin foreign exchange specialist.
