Stablecoins are the new "Digital Federal Reserve" for U.S. debt. In Episode 3 of Holy Ship, our founder, Syed Musheer Ahmed breaks down a reality most investors are missing: Stablecoin issuers like Tether and Circle are now among the top global holders of U.S. Treasuries, collectively managing over $300 billion in reserves.
