According to U.Today, Jeremy Allaire, CEO of Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, has expressed his optimism about the future of cryptocurrency. In a recent post, Allaire shared several reasons for his bullish stance on the unfolding developments in the crypto world. He stated that he has never been more optimistic about crypto in the 11 years he has been building his company. One of the reasons for his optimism is the limited understanding of the majority of people about the ongoing developments in the crypto world.
Allaire believes that cryptocurrency represents the next logical layer of infrastructure for the internet. He has observed the internet's evolution from a nascent trend to an integral part of everyone's lives. Bitcoin, which emerged in 2009, has led many to consider its potential to provide a more generalized internet infrastructure that could be foundational to society and the economy. Allaire noted that cryptocurrencies launched on blockchains and smart contracts could create a trusted environment that users and developers had been lacking on a global scale.
Currently, as public blockchains have evolved into their third generation, there are large innovative communities of multiple blockchains competing with each other. These communities are constantly improving and innovating their networks, adding more security, privacy, and transaction throughput. Bitcoin has become one of the largest and most powerful alternative investment tools on the market, with major Wall Street companies setting up ETFs based on BTC. Stablecoins are also gaining popularity, Allaire pointed out. He believes that the world is now in the early stages of cryptocurrency adoption, which he considers 'insanely bullish.'
