Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire said he is focused less on Bitcoin’s short-term price and more on digital dollars for payments and AI-agent activity, BlockBeats reported from a CNBC interview.
Digital-dollar use cases
Allaire said digital dollars could support payments, trading, lending and investment. He also said AI agents could take part in more economic activity, potentially increasing demand for digital dollars and related blockchain infrastructure. The report provided no data supporting that demand projection.
Stablecoin rules under discussion
BlockBeats said the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency was drafting rules for the GENIUS Act. The report described proposed reserve backing, par redemption within two business days and a ban on issuer interest payments to holders. Allaire said the bill had bipartisan support, while broader U.S. crypto-market-structure legislation had not advanced. The regulatory details are reported summaries, not a final rule.
