The Stable Pulse
Patrick Witt: Presidential Advisor on Stablecoins, Agentic Commerce, and Digital Identity
On this special edition of The Stable Pulse, White House advisor Patrick Witt sits down with Stablecon’s Head of Policy, Justin Friedman, on stage at Stablecon USA. As Executive Director of the President’s Council of Advisors for Digital Assets, Patrick has spent a year-and-a-half coordinating national policy on digital assets for the United States. Patrick shares his read on how the GENIUS Act is enabling the stablecoin marketplace, offers his perspective on non-US Dollar stablecoin issuance, and touches on the transformative potential for agentic commerce and the need to modernize digital identity to keep up. Finally, Patrick makes a bold prediction of a successful outcome for the crypto market structure legislation known as the Clarity Act. In any case, Patrick expresses confidence that the financial regulatory agencies in Washington will continue relying on existing authority to formalize market structure rules — with or without enactment of the Clarity Act.
