Multi-Chain or Die: Wormhole's Stablecoin Vision

In this episode of Stableminded (presented by This Week in Fintech and Stablecon), Drew Rogers sits down with Robinson Burkey, Co-Founder of Wormhole Foundation, to explore why multi-chain infrastructure has become make-or-break for stablecoin success.

"You no longer can issue a stable coin just on one chain. To start, that's fine. But in the long term, they will not be competitive and they likely will not be successful if they stay on one chain."- Robinson Burkey

Robinson reveals why Wormhole has become critical infrastructure for the stablecoin ecosystem:

- Why single-chain stablecoins face inevitable failure in today's multi-chain world
- How Wormhole enables 6-second cross-chain transfers vs days through centralized exchanges
- Why BlackRock chose Wormhole exclusively for their $3B BUIDL money market fund
- The "practical era"of crypto: moving from speculation to real-world utility
- How Circle's early CCTP mistakes created the multi-version nightmare Wormhole solves
- Why security-first infrastructure wins over outsourced solutions when billions are at stake
- Real examples: USDS moving $60M to Solana in 24 hours, M0's strategic partnership

For builders: Every major stablecoin issuer from Circle to M0 relies on interoperability infrastructure. Robinson explains why Wormhole's security model and network effects make it the standard for high-value assets moving between 40+ connected blockchains.

Robinson's prediction: within years, you'll pay for everything with stablecoins without even realizing it. The infrastructure is ready. The adoption is next.
