With me today is Dante Disparte, who's the Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Global Policy at Circle. Dante, it's great to have you on the podcast. Great to be with you. Dante, I'm so excited to speak with you because Circle has been doing a lot of great things. I'm a user of USDC. I've interviewed Jeremy Allaire a couple of years ago, and you guys are doing a lot. So I have a lot of questions. But before we get there, let's start with your background. Tell us about yourself, where you're from, and where you grow up. Sure. Well, yeah, great being on. And it's always good to start with the humanizing questions. So I was born and raised in Puerto Rico. And currently I live in Washington, DC. So my partly personal, as you can imagine, this is a labor of love being in crypto, but also partly about the unfinished work we have around the world with financial inclusion and just making the global economy much more accessible for people. But yeah, very excited to be with you today and looking forward to the conversation. Sure. And tell us about your professional background, because I did notice you were at the Diem Libra project for a while, in addition to other companies. Tell us a bit about that. Well, don't hold any of that against me. In fact, my joke when I joined Circle, in fact, for your listeners, my almost informal interview was the money movement episode 10. Episode 10, I was still at the Libra Association, where I was the vice chairman and one of the founders of the project. Jeremy invited me onto the money movement, and we realized that not only were we wearing the same pastel -colored polo shirts, but we were finishing each other's sentence. So now with the benefit of hindsight, I could look back at that and say, this Jeremy Allaire guy is kind of sneaky because it turns out that might've been my job interview. So the transition from a Libra to a Circle, at least for me personally, in many respects, it's the same vision and mission. The difference is obviously Libra was aspirational, never launched. Circle is operational, and we now collectively as a company get to prove that trusted digital dollars on the internet is a thing. It's a breakthrough innovation, and it's impacting real world, real people, and the real economy in real ways. So if you don't mind me asking, was Libra Diem too early, and was it a different environment? And also, you mentioned the business practices, right? The books and the certain things need to be in order as with Circle. Was that kind of the gist of it? It was just early and the regulators had a knee -jerk reaction? Well, so my personal calculus as an entrepreneur in the earlier part of my career, but as a risk and resilience person throughout my career, my personal calculus was win, lose, or draw. A project of this potential scale would change, if not the arc of the conversation, in many respects, the arc of innovation and finance, right? That you needed, not only crypto needed, but the agenda for a more inclusive global economy needed something to shake the system up, right? And so in innovation, we talk about moonshots, and I think Libra was a proper moonshot. But around it, there were also very clear determinative barriers around who can and for permission versus forgiveness in financial services. And a lot of crypto projects have come and gone under the basis of not really respecting any of the pre -existing rules and regulations around moving money. But so it was a very healthy experience. And I found myself obviously to be an honest broker in a very, very complex multi -stakeholder project and conversation since. And what was your first encounter with Bitcoin and crypto? When did it first start for you? Did you hear from a friend on a forum? And what was your aha moment? Yeah. Well, I came at it, actually it was, believe it or not, on Necker Island. I was invited in 2017. I don't often get invited to billionaire private islands, but if you do get an invite, I would strongly urge folks to go. Except of course, with my rotten luck, the year I went to Necker Island, I went in my capacity as a risk and insurance person. This is in 2017. And as you can imagine, at that particular era, a lot of crypto companies were looking for the legitimization of insurance. Today, it's the legitimization of regulation, the legitimization of policy, et cetera. But for a long time, the industry's journey has been this legitimization, challenger innovation looking for insurance protection. And so I went pretty deep. I started an insurance company and went pretty deep down the rabbit hole in sort of understanding what were the risks. And if you could understand the risks and transfer the risks financially to another party, then there's a market around this innovation. Except the year that I went was the year that flattened part of Puerto Rico. And so my journey into the crypto economy was, what unfinished work does this innovation have with risk, resilience, financial access, moving money in better, cheaper, faster ways? Over that same period of time, I was an advisor on the National Advisory Council of FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency. And I was one of the leaders on the FEMA sort of arguing that we need these innovations domestically inside of the United States to provide for better, faster, cheaper movement of money and disaster assistance. And so that's been my arc in this space ever since. And I'm pleased to say where I think we're making progress.

Jim Carafano Explains Why FEMA Is So Wrong in So Many Ways
"This is cotton 9 the head of Homeland Security. Fema is providing emergency food and shelter program funds to help cities around the country recover or defray the costs of non citizen arrivals. CBP and ice are working closely with cities to share information and coordinate the disposition of non citizens in immigration enforcement proceedings. Just the orwellian phraseology, non citizen immigrants. There's a legal term for that, and it's not non citizen immigrants. It's illegal aliens at the section of Homeland Security is using that phraseology, but Jim, fema being used to shelter and home house illegal immigrants. Is that why we created the federal emergency management agency? So we should unpack this because this is so wrong in so many ways. Fema, which was created by Jimmy Carter, bring together disparate bits of agencies for the express purpose of there is a disaster that impacts Americans, we all rush in as a nation to help in female helps coordinate that. A hurricane. Whatever forest fire. Tornadoes. 9 11? It was not designed to house illegal immigrants. This is an absolute, and so that's wrong. You're taking resources, what do we do when there's a disaster? They won't be there for Americans. That is absolutely wrong because we don't know when the next disaster is going to strike. So literally I can guarantee you, if there's a disaster on the scale of what we just saw in California with a flooding, there will be people there will be American citizens that won't help because fema is housing illegal immigrants that Joe Biden brought in the United States.

"Flush. Thank you so much for that update, a Doug prisoner. It is three 49 on Wall Street. The following is an editorial from Bloomberg opinion. This editorial was written by the Bloomberg editorial board. The campaign by several Republican governors to transport asylum seekers to democratic controlled areas such as Washington, D.C., has been a national embarrassment. Whatever point Republicans may have had about migration, they have forfeited their moral authority by treating vulnerable people as props. But while President Biden has rightly denounced the relocation stunts, his administration and the democratic controlled Congress should do more to fix the underlying problem. They can start by boosting support for the federal emergency management agency's migrant assistance program and fixing the nation's perennially underfunded immigration courts. Biden might not want to call attention to the issue in an election year, but it's his responsibility to work to fix it. This editorial was written by the Bloomberg editorial board for more Bloomberg opinion, please go to Bloomberg dot com slash opinion or op IN go on the Bloomberg terminal These has been Bloomberg opinion.
