Why Regulatory Compliance Determines Stablecoin Success: Bastion Hyperliquid USDH Proposal Explained

Host:

Drew Rogers, Co-Founder and CEO of Stabledash

In this Stabledash live recap, we explore Bastion's approach to the Hyperliquid USDH proposal with Nas, diving deep into the regulatory infrastructure required for stablecoin issuance and what separates regulated trust charters from money transmitter licenses.

Key Topics Covered:
- Bastion's neutral infrastructure model: No competing stablecoin, no competing blockchain
- New York Trust Charter vs. MTLs: The critical differences for GENIUS compliance
- Why only two proposals have day-one regulatory compliance
- The full stablecoin journey: Custody, orchestration, and issuance infrastructure
- How institutional traders are secretly using Hyperliquid
- The risks of unregulated stablecoin issuance
- Building value through interoperability across stablecoin ecosystems

About the Guest:
Nas leads Bastion, a regulated stablecoin issuance platform operating under a New York Trust Charter. Previously one of the first two employees at Anchorage and co-creator of custody infrastructure at Meta for the Diem currency project, he brings deep expertise in regulated financial services and blockchain infrastructure.



This conversation provides critical insights into the regulatory requirements that will shape which stablecoin proposals can actually deliver on their promises.
