The Next Wall Street Hijacking: USDC
After Bitcoin, Wall Street has its eyes on something else.
In this video I discuss how Circle, the firm behind USDC, is having an IPO. By going public, anyone can purchase it. This means major Wall Street firms such as Blackrock and Fidelity can take a piece of the company. This means that, over time, the shares are going to end up in the hands of the major firms and hedge funds.

@taskmaster4450! Your Content Is Awesome so I just sent 1 $BBH (Bitcoin Backed Hive) to your account on behalf of @fashtioluwa. (1/5)
I'm curious as to why they would even need to take over USDC. Now that they are more open to crypto, why don't Wall Street just pool their funds and create a new token that is backed and fully supported by the government.

In this video, the speaker discusses the potential Wall Street control and hijacking of USDC (USD Coin), which is a stablecoin tied to the US dollar and US treasuries. The speaker compares this to the situation with Bitcoin, highlighting that while Bitcoin is seen as fixed money, USDC is flexible due to its ties with the traditional financial system. Additionally, the speaker talks about Circle, the company behind USDC, filing for its banking license and becoming a publicly traded company, which could potentially lead to it being controlled by Wall Street. The conversation delves into concerns about regulatory compliance, government control, and the centralization of cryptocurrencies like USDC.
Detailed Article:
The video delves into the speaker's analysis of Wall Street's potential control over USDC, a stablecoin linked to the US dollar and US treasuries. The speaker initially draws parallels between Bitcoin and USDC, emphasizing how Wall Street institutions are becoming custodians of Bitcoin, shifting control away from individual users who do not hold their private keys. This leads to a discussion on fixed money versus flexible money, highlighting that while Bitcoin is viewed as fixed money, USDC's ties to the traditional banking system make it more susceptible to external control and influence.
The speaker expounds on the reasons behind USDC's vulnerability to Wall Street influence. Firstly, USDC is backed by assets such as US dollars and US treasuries, indicating its reliance on the existing financial infrastructure. Secondly, the speaker discusses Circle, the entity overseeing USDC, preparing to go public and potentially subjecting itself to regulatory oversight and compliance measures, similar to traditional banking institutions. This, the speaker notes, could pave the way for Wall Street's involvement and control over USDC.
Furthermore, the discussion progresses to underline concerns about decentralization and resilience within the cryptocurrency space. The speaker critiques projects like EOS, pointing out issues of centralization within Block One, suggesting that projects need to focus on creating decentralized alternatives to avoid susceptibility to external control. The speaker stresses the importance of building resilient and decentralized systems to counter the growing influence of Wall Street and traditional financial institutions in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
In conclusion, the video serves as a critical analysis of the potential pitfalls of USDC's integration with the traditional financial system, raising concerns about centralization, regulatory compliance, and the overarching influence of Wall Street on cryptocurrencies. It underscores the urgency for the crypto community to prioritize decentralization and resilience to safeguard against external control and maintain the core tenets of the cryptocurrency movement.
