a16z Crypto partner Guy Wuollet emphasized that, in the short term, blockchain’s clearest applications are in finance, especially stablecoins and perpetual contracts. a16z is actively building a presence in payments, lending, credit, exchanges, prediction markets, derivatives, crypto-AI, and wealth management. Demand for stablecoins stems mainly from more efficient payments and demand for the U.S. dollar in markets with high inflation or capital controls. Wuollet believes stablecoins and blockchain are driving the digital transformation of finance, much as cloud services transformed enterprise IT. #金融科技 #区块链 #a16z
