Jeremy Allaire, CEO of peer-to-peer payment company Circle, is expecting the U.S. Congress to concentrate on stablecoin regulation this year for a simple reason.

“Stablecoins are the lowest-hanging fruit,” Allaire told CoinDesk TV’s “First Mover” Thursday from the World Economic Forum’s annual conference in Davos, Switzerland. This is the simplest. It’s a foundational piece.”

Circle is the issuer of USD coin (USDC), a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar. There are over $43 billion worth of USDC tokens in circulation, according to Crypto.com, and it is the second-largest stablecoin by market cap, according to CoinMarketCap.

The technology company based in Boston, Massachusetts, established in 2013, continues to evolve as the crypto ecosystem grows and develops, Allaire said.

He said his business has been around the last decade because it "goes through the front door with the regulators," and aims to be honest with them.

"that culture of confidence and transparency, which is played out, [and it] pays dividends," said Allaire.

Nevertheless, the circle of changes suffered are "as climbing a mountain," he said.

"you'll play a game and you'll be like, There is a cliff [for Christ's sake], I'm not going down, I have to swing, and come downstairs, and I must return," said Allaire.
