DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES – 28/04/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – In a dynamic appearance that underscored the rapidly shifting landscape of blockchain technology, Bundeep Singh Rangar, co-founder and CEO of Pi Protocol, joined CNBC Arabia’s flagship show “Crypto Weekly” for an in-depth discussion on the future of stablecoins, real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation, and the transformative potential of blockchain innovation in global finance. As the digital economy continues its meteoric rise, leaders like Rangar are at the forefront of bridging traditional financial systems with decentralised, user-centric models. In the wide-ranging interview hosted by Henri Arslanian and May Ben Khadra, Rangar articulated a bold vision for the next era of digital finance—one where stablecoins evolve from passive mediums of exchange into active tools for financial empowerment.
Rangar opened the conversation by identifying stablecoins as the critical infrastructure layer that underpins the mass adoption of blockchain technology. “Stablecoins are not just another application,” he asserted. “They are the bridge between traditional assets—such as fiat currencies and commodities—and the blockchain universe.” He further emphasised their market impact by sharing compelling data: “Last year alone, $28 trillion worth of transactions were conducted via stablecoins, accounting for 40% of all blockchain-related transactions.” These figures, Rangar argued, highlight the indispensable role that stablecoins are already playing in real-world financial activity.
Moving beyond traditional narratives, Rangar introduced Pi Protocol’s radical rethinking of stablecoin utility. While most stablecoins today serve merely as digital stand-ins for fiat money, Pi Protocol envisions a future where users not only transact securely but also earn yield directly from their on-chain activities. “The next generation of stablecoins must do more than store value,” Rangar said. “They must enable users to participate in the value they help create, rather than allowing centralised companies to reap all the rewards.”
One of Pi Protocol’s standout innovations, according to Rangar, is its pioneering regulatory strategy. Unlike other stablecoin issuers that may expose users to taxable events during collateralisation, Pi Protocol enables users to mint stablecoins against their collateral without triggering immediate tax liabilities. This approach significantly enhances capital efficiency, allowing users to maintain ownership and control over their underlying assets while still accessing liquidity. Rangar stressed that this blend of financial prudence and user empowerment is central to Pi Protocol’s mission: building DeFi solutions that are practical, compliant, and beneficial for everyday users.
The interview also explored broader industry trends, including the philosophical and structural shift from centralisation to user empowerment. “The real innovation is the transfer of value creation from corporations to individual users,” Rangar explained. He pointed to the emergence of new regulatory frameworks such as the GENIUS Act in the United States and the MiCA legislation in Europe as signs that governments are moving toward greater clarity and support for digital assets. “The new U.S. administration heralds a sea change,” Rangar noted, predicting a future with clearer rules and greater institutional involvement in the crypto sector.
Rangar’s perspective on blockchain infrastructure evolution was equally forward-looking. He observed that Layer 1 networks like Solana and Sui are beginning to challenge Ethereum’s longstanding dominance by delivering faster, cheaper, and more scalable transaction platforms. “Just as Ethereum once disrupted Bitcoin by introducing smart contracts, these next-generation platforms are now pushing the boundaries further,” Rangar commented. He credited technological innovation for this natural progression: “Technology never stands still. Each wave of innovation builds upon the last to deliver greater efficiency and broader accessibility.”
As Pi Protocol positions itself at the crossroads of stablecoin development, decentralised finance, and asset tokenisation, Rangar emphasised that user participation and regulatory compliance will be the cornerstones of the platform’s long-term success. The USP stablecoin—central to Pi Protocol’s ecosystem—embodies this vision by enabling users to mint a dollar-pegged stablecoin backed by blockchain-based yield-bearing RWAs. With its decentralised governance model powered by USPi tokens, Pi Protocol seeks to democratise access to financial yields, a privilege historically confined to large, centralised institutions.
The CNBC Arabia interview offered audiences an illuminating glimpse into a future where financial tools are decentralised, compliant, and inclusive. Rangar’s insights underscored the growing demand for stablecoins that can simultaneously provide security, yield, and scalability—qualities Pi Protocol aims to deliver at scale. As financial markets worldwide brace for a new era shaped by tokenisation and decentralisation, platforms like Pi Protocol are leading the way in crafting the foundational infrastructure that will power tomorrow’s digital economy.
