"Everything will be tokenized and every single currency in the world needs to have representation on-chain." Simon Dingle, founder of Inves Capital and creator of the South African Rand stablecoin (ZARP), joins Srikumar Misra on alpha un# and believes we're at the dawn of a financial revolution. He argues that the proven staying power of crypto, combined with the eventual tokenization of all real-world assets, necessitates a stablecoin for every fiat currency. This isn't just about efficiency; it's about global financial inclusion and a radical shift in how we interact with money.Key Insights from this Episode:👉Stablecoins are not just a crypto-native tool; they're fundamentally better for anything you can do with money (payments, remittances, treasury management, etc.).👉Emerging markets are leading stablecoin adoption due to the demand for USD access and the need for lower-cost, more efficient cross-border payments.👉Local currency stablecoins provide a sounder base for DeFi participation in emerging economies, mitigating the risks of dollar-denominated debt.👉While security threats are real, the inherent transparency of blockchains acts as a significant deterrent to illicit activity, arguably more so than traditional finance.👉Reserve-backed stablecoins are likely to remain the dominant model, as they provide the most reliable peg to underlying value.👉Regulation, while sometimes a hurdle, is ultimately shaping a more mature and sustainable crypto landscape.Chapters:[00:02:24:42] Current Use Cases of Stablecoins[00:03:51:93] Stablecoins: Better at Everything Money Can Do[00:06:17:52] The ZARP Stablecoin: Journey and Adoption[00:09:36:36] Accessing and Using ZARP[00:11:38:44] The South African Rand vs. USD Stablecoins[00:12:55:73] The special features of the South African Rand[00:13:46:50] Simon Dingle's Crypto Journey: From Bitcoin to ZARP[00:18:33:22] Crypto Market Cycles and the Role of Stablecoins[00:27:26:76] The Four Pillars of the Token Ecosystem[00:34:45:62] Security, Freeze Authority, and Stablecoins[00:44:45:36] Algorithmic vs. Reserve-Backed Stablecoins[00:47:53:91] The Viability of a Basket-Based Stablecoin (Libra/Diem)[00:53:34:16] Stablecoin Adoption in Africa and Emerging MarketsAbout alpha unhashed:The alpha un# podcast is hosted by Sri Misra, founder of aarna protocol and Milk Mantra.

"The entire crypto digital assets market is three and a half billion, which is less than the market cap of Nvidia...The TradFi opportunity is much bigger." - Pritam DuttaThis quote encapsulates the massive potential of bringing Real World Assets (RWAs) on-chain. Pritam Dutta, founder of Zoth, joins Srikumar Misra on alpha un# to explain how Zoth is building a decentralized infrastructure to unlock the liquidity trapped in the multi-trillion dollar traditional finance (TradFi) fixed income market. By allowing tokenized RWAs to be used as collateral for a new stablecoin, ZUSD, Zoth is creating a DeFi-native ecosystem with far-reaching implications. This isn't just about tokenizing assets; it's about building a new financial layer.Key Insights from this Episode:👉RWA Restaking (Staking) Explained: Discover how Zoth is using the concept of "restaking" (more accurately, a form of staking) to unlock DeFi utility for traditionally illiquid assets.👉The ZUSD Stablecoin: Learn how Zoth's stablecoin, backed by RWAs, offers capital efficiency and numerous DeFi use cases.👉Building a DeFi Community First: Pritam reveals Zoth's unique go-to-market strategy, prioritizing community building (2 million wallets!) before product launch.👉Multi-Chain by Design: Understand Zoth's philosophy of being where the customers are, across multiple blockchains.👉Regulation as an Opportunity: Hear Pritam's perspective on the evolving stablecoin regulatory landscape and how Zoth is positioned to thrive.Chapters:[00:00:51] Introduction: Welcome Pritam Dutta, Founder of Zoth[00:01:19] What is an RWA Restaking Layer?[00:04:04] RWA Staking: Existing Landscape and Zoth's Approach[00:06:50] The Evolution of RWA Restaking and the TradFi Opportunity[00:10:12] Rethinking RWA Tokenization: Beyond Fractionalization[00:13:35] Zoth's Accepted RWA Tokens and Collateralization Process[00:18:00] Pritam's Journey: The journey to Zoth[00:22:52] The Consumer Startup Experience and the Path to Crypto[00:26:28] Zoth's Founding Story and Early Traction[00:30:28] Building a Massive Community: Zoth's 2 Million Wallet Strategy[00:36:33] Zoth's Current Metrics: TVL and Pre-Deposit Success[00:39:26] Celebrating a Milestone: $25 Million in ZUSD Sold![00:42:12] Stablecoin Regulation and Zoth's Perspective[00:48:43] Pritam's Vision for Zoth: A Top Global Financial PlayerAbout alpha unhashed:The alpha un# podcast is hosted by Sri Misra, founder of aarna protocol and Milk Mantra.
