Dan Romero: How Stablecoin Growth Is Setting The Stage For An Explosive Bull Market (Bull Case)
Dan Romero joins The Rollup for an insider look at how stablecoins are about to power the next era of global payments. Dan explains why the Genius Act opened the door for banks, enterprises, and payment giants to lean into stablecoins, and how Tempo's purpose-built chain, private zones, and agentic payments are built for that moment. He also shares his view on decentralization, new social experiences, and why builders can now ship almost anything they can imagine. Dan Romero is Head of Go-To-Market at Tempo, the layer one built for stablecoin payments, and co-founder of Farcaster. The Rollup is where the leaders of digital assets and finance converge. Live from the financial capital of the world.
