Circle's perspective on stablecoins, financial infrastructure and the purpose of Arc.
Why read Jeremy Allaire?
Jeremy explains Circle's strategy from the position of its co-founder and CEO. His Arc launch post describes an open economic layer for money, contracts and machines. It is a useful starting point for understanding why Circle sees a blockchain as part of its wider financial infrastructure rather than reading the launch only through token-market commentary.
His longer writing shows the institutional side of that argument. The reserve-transparency essay discusses what Circle wanted to disclose about USDC in 2021, while his 2023 prepared testimony makes the case for payment stablecoin regulation. Read the dated documents to follow how he connects a product's architecture, public reporting and the rules around it.
