Circle CEO 炮轰 OUSD🧨 Circle CEO Fires Directly: “Consortium Model Is Very Bad”

Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire’s latest remarks are very direct:

📌 Large consortiums are inefficient, and coordination is poor
📌 Conflicts of interest are severe
📌 Slow decision-making and weak execution

The core problems he calls out are:

👉 “It’s not that we don’t want to do it—it’s that we simply can’t make it work”
🪙 The target is OUSD and other multi-party governance stablecoins

OUSD (Origin protocol revenue stablecoin) represents a typical consortium governance model:

📌 Multi-party governance
📌 Yield from DeFi protocol portfolios
📌 Community participation in decision-making

But in reality:

📉 The market share has long remained small
📉 It’s difficult to challenge USDT / USDC

⚖️ Circle’s stance is clear: a single issuer is more effective

Allaire highlights the advantages of Circle’s model:

📌 Single-entity issuance of USDC
📌 Short decision-making chain
📌 Clear compliance pathway

The result is:
👉 USDC + USDT account for 90%+ of stablecoin trading volume
🧠 History has repeatedly validated “consortium failure” cases

Similar patterns are not uncommon:

📌 Meta’s Libra / Diem (ultimately dissolved)
📌 Bank consortium payment networks (slow progress)
📌 On-chain settlement experiments involving multiple institutions (staying at pilot stage)

The core problem is consistent:

👉 “Coordination cost > innovation payoff”

📊 Why did the market ultimately choose centralized stablecoins?

Real-world data provides the answer:

📌 Liquidity is concentrated in USDT / USDC
📌 Developers and exchanges integrate directly with a single issuer
📌 Better compliance, freeze mechanisms, and cross-chain efficiency

At its essence:

👉 “Being usable, scalable, and compliant” matters more than “decentralized governance”

⚠️ But the story isn’t over yet

Even so, the consortium model still has room to exist:

📌 More transparent reserve structure
📌 Demand for decentralized finance experiments

The contradiction is:

👉 Regulation may actually “push centralized stablecoins to become consortium-like”

🧠 Conclusion

Circle CEO’s core viewpoint is actually quite clear:

📌 Consortium stablecoins: strong idealism, but hard to execute
📌 Single-issuer stablecoins: high efficiency, but more centralized

And the market has already “voted” with outcomes:

👉 Scale, liquidity, and usage are all concentrated in USDT / USDC
