Is the U.S. dollar about to go digital? In this episode of Retirement Approved, Matt and Steve explore the rise of stablecoins- what they are, how they work, and why they could play a major role in the future of global finance. From Chuck E. Cheese tokens to casino chips, they use smart analogies to explain why stablecoins are grabbing headlines and how they’re not a threat to the U.S. dollar but could actually strengthen it globally.

You’ll learn how this tech is already transforming cross-border payments, the implications of the Genius Act working its way through Congress, and why institutions like J.P. Morgan, Visa, and PayPal are already taking steps- or preparing- to enter the stablecoin space. The guys also explain how clients might already have exposure to this booming trend through investments in Ethereum or companies like Coinbase and Circle.
