Scaling Stablecoins Without Banks: Inside M0’s Complexity Abstraction Machine

In this episode of The Smart Economy Podcast, host Dylan Grabowski is joined by Gregory Di Prisco, co-founder and Chief Architect at M0, a platform that aims to empower builders of application-specific stablecoins.

How M0's extension model enables partners to launch custom stablecoins while abstracting complexity
The key differences between the GENIUS Act and the STABLE Act
Why consumer experience will drive mainstream stablecoin adoption
How yield distribution and compliance can be modularized through third-party service providers

How stablecoins could integrate into everyday transactions within five years, largely invisible to end users

And much more!

With a background in futures trading and involvement in cryptocurrency dating back to 2010, Gregory has held key positions, including Head of Business Development at MakerDAO and co-founder of Distributed Capital, one of the first crypto VCs. His journey from traditional finance to blockchain technology includes supporting ETF development through tools like EtherIndex and significant contributions to the stablecoin ecosystem.
