CEO & Co-Founder, Circle

Search every verified Jeremy Allaire interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Jeremy Allaire, CEO and co-founder of Circle, has been active in public discussions about the convergence of blockchain technology, artificial intelligence, and the financial system. In September 2026, he announced the mainnet launch of Arc, a blockchain network developed by Circle, describing it as an "economic operating system" for the internet. Allaire stated that Arc is designed to support machine-to-machine transactions and the "agentic economy," where AI agents perform economic work. He also noted that Circle completed the genesis mint of 10 billion ARC tokens, making it the first publicly traded company to mint a network token, with the token planned to become available upon Arc's transition to proof of stake in 2027. Allaire has also commented on regulatory and market developments. Following the failure of the Clarity Act to pass the US Senate, he expressed belief that the legislation could still become law, comparing it to the Genius Act's path to passage. He discussed the potential for AI companies like Anthropic to pursue initial public offerings, drawing on his experience taking three companies public. Allaire has emphasized the growing use of stablecoins, citing that Circle mints and redeems $150 billion per quarter through its crosschain transfer protocol, and has argued that the "spectacle era of crypto is over," positioning digital assets as becoming "invisible infrastructure." He has also called for reshaping laws and regulations to address the implications of AI, stating that the technology's impact is "bigger than the Industrial Revolution."

Notable quotes

“The honest answer is no one has any idea at this point because the pace of technology acceleration is faster than at any point in human history. If you believe in the compounding laws that are happening in AI right now, which I do, the capabilities that we'll see are literally unimaginable. It's even difficult for the human brain to reason about when you're talking about something like ASI where the reasoning and coo”

“The most widely used interoperability protocol in the world right now on all blockchain networks across all assets is Circle's crosschain transfer protocol CCTP and that protocol is the most widely used because USDC is the most transferred digital currency across these networks. And so we mint and redeem $150 billion a quarter of this and it's plugged into all of these banking systems globally and that liquidity that”

“The diffusion maybe between big and large business in developed countries but for me the issue is diffusion between developed and developing countries so as not to lean into the already serious inequality that is shaping up. Incomes are no longer converging between rich and poor countries as they were they've been over a period of time. So we really need to think about it. What are the models? How will poorer countri”

“I think we're going through a period and I think in particular over the next two years where we will achieve recursive self-improvement and artificial super intelligence semantics aside like how you define that but I think that that liftoff that will take place just has profound implications. It actually comes back to Eno's statement which is it is actually a forcing function on cooperation actually in some ways prob”

“We advocated for regulation for 13 years. My general view was that especially with a new form of money that people, households, firms, financial institutions, other governments want to accept and use at a mainstream scale, the only way that's going to happen is if there's an understanding of very specific rules and policies that apply to the issuing and operation of that form of money. I don't think that can be left ”

“I don't agree with Jensen's view. My own view is we're in a place right now where the labs themselves who are at the frontier of these new AI supercomputers, where they themselves do not have an understanding of the fundamental safety alignment of these systems, and even in their attempt to have that they're having to use the AI supercomputers themselves to even attempt to understand the model safety and alignment, a”
