57 分钟Hey, Macro Musing listeners, this is your host, David Beckwourth.
A quick update on this show where we discuss stablecoins.
Since the time of its recording,
the Genius act was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Trump on July 18.
This marked a significant milestone for the cryptocurrency industry
as it established the first federal framework for regulating US Dollar pegged stablecoins.
With that update, now on to the show.
Welcome to Macro Musings where each week we pull back the curtain and take a closer look at the most important macroeconomic issues of the past,
present and future.
I am your host, David Beckwourth,
a senior research fellow at the Merketis center at George Mason University.
And I'm glad you've decided to join us.
Our guest today is Rashad Ahmed.
Rashad is a former treasury and Office of Comptroller of the Currency financial economist and currently is an economist at the Anderson Institute for Finance and Economics.
Rashad has written widely on stablecoins, the adoption of crypto and its macroeconomic implications.
He joins us today to talk about these issues.
Rashad, welcome to the program.
Hi David.
Thanks so much for having me.
Well, it's great to have you, Juan.
