About this episode
When our editors interviewed Seb and fellow Steakhouse co-founder ADVC for a feature in The Value Add magazine last year, they were easily the biggest stablecoin specialists in the web3 space. They've remained the clear leaders as the market has begun to explode.
It felt only natural to kick off 2025 with a new conversation, given the energy around stablecoins at the start of the new year. It turns out Seb's predictions — which per our mantra are not advice — track with our own: this is the year of the stablecoin.
And it won't be the only one.
