Stellar Development Foundation’s CMO on Why Stablecoins Are the Gateway to Tokenizing Everything
Tuesday, 28 April, 2026
Unpacking the long-game philosophy of SDF's new CMO. Jason Karsh, the new CMO of Stellar Development Foundation, has built his career moving through some of tech and crypto's most formative companies, from Google to Coinbase to Block, and he's bringing his long-game philosophy to one of the industry's oldest and most quietly consequential blockchains. In this episode of Gen C, Sam sits down with Jason to talk about why crypto keeps leading with the wrong message, how Stellar went from $500M to $2B in real-world assets in a single year, and why a "get rich slow" approach might be the most radical marketing strategy in Web3.
