Stablecoins And The Agent Economy Will Rewire How Money Moves | Dušan Stojanović - E707

Dušan Stojanović, founding partner of True Global Ventures, joins Jeremy Au to map where money is heading as stablecoins and AI agents collide. He traces his path from building one of the first internet banks in France to becoming Europe's Angel of the Year, then breaks down the news that matters now: the Hong Kong stablecoin license won by Anchorpoint, the Standard Chartered, HKT, and Animoca Brands venture. The conversation goes deep on why payments are the first real use case for the agentic AI economy, why a human still needs to stay in the loop, and his bet that agent-to-agent transactions could outgrow the human economy far sooner than most expect. He also explains why he believes money itself becomes a commodity within a decade, and how that forces venture capital to compete on network and AI support rather than capital alone.

For founders, VCs, and operators across Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia, this is a practical look at the rails the region's next wave of fintech and cross-border trade will run on. Singapore and Hong Kong sit at the center of the regulated stablecoin story, and the trade-finance flows Dušan describes are exactly the corridors Southeast Asian businesses depend on. If you are building in payments, crypto, or AI, or deciding how to fund and scale in an agent-driven market, this episode is for you.
