Jeremy Allaire is the Co-founder, Chairman, and CEO of Circle, the company behind USD Coin (USDC), one of the world’s most widely used regulated digital dollars. A pioneering entrepreneur in financial technology, he has been a central figure in advancing blockchain-based payments and internet-native finance. Under his leadership, Circle has become a key infrastructure provider for the emerging digital economy, enabling trillions in on-chain transactions.
At BRIDGE Summit, Jeremy will explore how programmable digital dollars, tokenization, and open financial rails are reshaping global commerce.
Traditional intellectual property systems have long concentrated power in the hands of intermediaries, limiting how creators control and benefit from their own work. Today, platforms like Story Protocol and DAOs are offering transparent, decentralized alternatives, enabling creators to tokenize, license, and better own content, as well as to fund, distribute, and protect their work using blockchain. As these Web3 tools gain traction, how might they permanently reshape the economics and ethics of creative ownership?
