The Institutional Era of Stablecoins: SDF's Denelle Dixon on RWAs, the Genius Act & Agentic Commerce

In this episode of Deep Dive Podcast host Rachel Wolfson sits down with Denelle Dixon, CEO and Executive Director of the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) to discuss how institutional adoption of blockchain has moved from "if" to "how." Denelle goes in depth on what happens when banks stop piloting and start building on the Stellar network. She walks through US Bank's end-to-end stablecoin pilot (USBDC), Stellar's jump from under $1B to over $4B in tokenized real-world assets, and why the DTCC bringing trillions on-chain in 2027 could be the inflection point. We also get into the Genius Act's impact on regulation, the push for 24/7 settlement liquidity, validator transparency and privacy, and how AI agents could become stablecoin rails' biggest customers. This week's guest(s): Denelle Dixon is the CEO and Executive Director of the Stellar Development Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on working with and supporting changemakers to create equitable access to the global financial system through blockchain technology. She leads the teams that help maintain the Stellar network's codebase, support the communities around Stellar, and advocate on behalf of the network with international stakeholders - work that makes SDF's mission of promoting financial access possible. Before joining Stellar, Dixon served as COO of Mozilla, one of the most successful mission-driven open-source organizations.

Autonomous AI Agents Uncovered: Yat Siu of Animoca Explains The Agentic Commerce Evolution

In this episode of Deep Dive Podcast, Rachel Wolfson sits down with Yat Siu, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Animoca Brands, to discuss how autonomous AI agents are moving into everyday life. Yat makes the case that blockchain and stablecoins are the missing infrastructure for agentic commerce — and that without digital property rights, the agent economy just rebuilds the platform dependence it promises to escape. He also argues Asia is pulling ahead of the US on AI adoption, and explains what he thinks America is getting wrong. This week's guest(s): Veteran technology entrepreneur/investor Yat Siu is the co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, a global leader in Web3, blockchain, gaming, and tokenization with the goal to provide all users with property rights for virtual assets. Yat began his career at Atari Germany, then established Hong Kong Cybercity/Freenation, the first free web page and email provider in Asia. In 1998 he set up Outblaze, an award-winning pioneer of multilingual white label web services. After selling one of its business units to IBM, he pivoted Outblaze to incubate digital entertainment projects. One of those projects is Animoca Brands.
