Episode 561: Circle CCO Kash Razzaghi on Arc, AI Agents and the Race to Make Money Instant

Circle has launched Arc Mainnet, which CEO Jeremy Allaire calls the company’s most significant launch since USDC itself. CCO Kash Razzaghi goes Inside the ICE House to discuss how the institutional-grade blockchain, backed by founding validators including ICE, Visa, Mastercard, BlackRock, and DTCC, is built around privacy, trust, and instant settlement. He explains why AI agents will transact very differently than humans, with micropayments reaching volumes that dwarf human activity. Kash makes the case that sending money is headed toward near-zero cost and near-zero time, just like texts and email.
