Bitcoin vs Stablecoins: What Will Power the Future of Finance? | Fund Shack
In this Fund Shack conversation, Ross Butler asks Udayan Goyal, Co-Founder of Apis Partners, whether Bitcoin is the ultimate disruptor, or if stablecoins will define the next era of global finance.
Uday explains why Bitcoin now functions as “digital gold” a store of value uncorrelated to central banks, but why its volatility limits its use in day-to-day financial infrastructure. He argues that stablecoins already process more volume than Visa and Mastercard combined, offering frictionless, real-time payments that are transforming cross-border transactions and corporate treasury.
What they discussed:
🔹 Bitcoin as a hedge and store of value, not a payment rail
🔹 Stablecoins as the bridge between crypto and traditional finance
🔹 Why unregulated volatility keeps Bitcoin on the sidelines
🔹 How regulated digital currencies are being embedded into financial systems
🔹 What the new financial infrastructure means for investors and institutions
“Today’s stablecoin volumes are greater than Visa and Mastercard combined.” — Udayan Goyal
