In this episode of the TEACHMEDEFI podcast, we speak with Jelena Djuric, co-founder of Noble, a stablecoin issuance protocol built for the Interchain economy. We discuss her journey in crypto, the evolution of stablecoins, and Noble’s unique approach to building regulatory-compliant, yield-bearing digital dollars.

Jelena explains how Noble Dollar, their flagship product, is collateralized by U.S. treasury bills and distributes yield directly to holders with every block. The conversation also covers the growing demand for compliant stablecoins in Europe, how Stripe’s involvement validates the space, and why stablecoin infrastructure is critical for real-world adoption.

We also touch on market trends, including the rise of meme coins, and how Noble is thinking about long-term sustainability and utility with its upcoming application layer.

Whether you're a builder, regulator, or stablecoin user, this episode offers a deep dive into where the stablecoin market is heading and what it means for the broader crypto ecosystem.
