INSIGHT

M0 Is An Operating System For Digital Money

  • M0 is an operating system for digital money that lets institutions and apps create tailored stablecoins.
  • It connects application developers who want custom money with licensed issuers who hold reserves and operate the instruments.
INSIGHT

Money Is Plural And Interoperability Explains Acceptance

  • Money is plural: traditional dollars exist in thousands of private flavors (commercial banks, fintechs, loyalty balances) that interoperate via infrastructure.
  • Crypto lacked that interoperable plumbing, so current stablecoin trading-based interop is a capital-inefficient poor man's approach.
ADVICE

Package Stablecoin Tech Into A Customizable Issuance Platform

  • Reduce technical barriers for issuers by packaging minting, dual-ledger reconciliation, multi-chain support, and liquidity management.
  • Provide a customizable software box so licensed issuers can plug in regulatory controls and scale issuance.
