On the 8th (local time), according to The Block, Miran said at a BCVC Summit panel discussion held in New York, "Stablecoins are an area expected to see tremendous growth. Based on the research and projections seen so far, they clearly have a force that cannot be ignored," adding, "This sector is already creating economic ripple effects, and that has important implications for the Fed and monetary policy."
