Talking Tokens: Crypto, Onchain Finance, Investing · Why Plasma Bet Everything on USDT When Nobody Believed in Stablecoin Chains | Zaheer Evtakar, Plasma · 7 Jul 2026 podcast

I think in terms of you know having uh yield sharing, um I think circles model ends up working quite well for a lot of people.

Uh, you know, this is the Coinbase method um and Coinbase route that that I think is is getting a lot of traction.

Um so it really will just depend on on on you know the the the sequencing there.

And then I think the last leg that that's been of a lot of interest but I think hasn't really panned out in the way that people have wanted it to so far is the agent trading.

Autrantic commerce uh kind of vertical as well, which is what will agents end up using and what does the settlement end up looking like?

Um I think all three um are actively competing in this space and want to be kind of the stable coin for for agents as much as possible.

But I think there's gonna be you know necessary trade-offs that that that are needed to be made for us.

I think you know it kind of goes from settlements to payments to uh you know having like the the the right kind of

distribution vector uh and and th these different use cases actually probably m you know constitute ninety percent plus of our of our focus at the moment.

Yeah, I think there's two things.

I mean for a larger organization, I think the problem is that usually these things aren't the core focus of the company and they don't make the right bets.

I think historically financial institutions and I mean that like more s more so banks and I mean pay bids companies

Historically, banks haven't had the right mechanism to sponsor a bet.

They only you know, banks will only adapt to the next, you know, frontier as soon as they realize that they're losing massive market share.

So online banking or digital banking only became a thing when they realized holy crap, we're we're we're really behind on on fintech.

Um I don't think banks are ever proactive.

I think they're only reactionary.

So I think for

for them it's a bit different.
