About web3 with a16z crypto
The a16z crypto show explores how decentralized networks are reshaping money, ownership, and the architecture of the internet. We go beyond the hype to look at what’s actually working, what isn’t, and what comes next as crypto continues to go mainstream and blockchains become core infrastructure. Each episode features conversations with founders, engineers, economists, policymakers, and researchers building at the frontier of finance, payments, AI, and distributed systems. We cover stablecoins and global payments, the tokenization of "real-world" assets, decentralized physical infrastructure, network design and governance, and the practical tradeoffs behind decentralization — along with lessons from past technology shifts. Produced and hosted by the a16z crypto team, the show combines reporting, analysis, and first-principles thinking to explain how crypto intersects with the economy and society — and why it matters now.

What Comes After Stablecoins? (ft. Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire and Chris Dixon)
Published 16 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] We always thought that, like for a long time, we always thought that that kind of autonomous software running on the Internet could do this stuff. No idea about generative AI, obviously, when we thought about that a long time ago. But then it became very clear that the primary users, the primary deployers of software and the primary entities that were going to be running on this was gonna very likely be AI. And we started to think about a lot of the issues that go into that, and we continue to as well. It's like a very central set of design features for what we're doing is the shift to this agentic economy as well. […]
