The Crypto Invention That Matters More Than Bitcoin w/ Tether co-founder

About this episode

Imagine a company that's raking in $5.2 BILLION in net profit in just six months... That's $29 MILLION per day, $1.2 MILLION per hour, and $20,000 per minute! Welcome to Tether, the most profitable company in crypto, and possibly the world. But what's behind this unprecedented success? Join us as we sit down with Tether's co-founder, William Quigley, to explore the misconception around Tether's USD peg, and the impact of stablecoins on DeFi and crypto as a whole.


You'll learn:

• The truth behind Tether's USD peg and how it really works

• The impact of stablecoins on DeFi and the broader crypto market

• Why governments might create CBDCs, and what it means for privately issued stablecoins

And more...
