Jesse Pollak, creator of Base, has called for the development of non-USD stablecoins to improve the utility of cryptocurrencies within the Base ecosystem. Speaking in September 2025, Pollak highlighted the limitations of USD-pegged stablecoins in achieving global adoption, sparking industry-wide discussions. He argues that the dominance of USD-pegged stablecoins restricts broader crypto adoption and that alternatives are crucial for meaningful utility. Pollak's advocacy has increased interest in non-USD stablecoins and reinvigorated conversations within the Base ecosystem. Analysts suggest that his initiatives could foster a more inclusive crypto economy and drive new investment opportunities by challenging the current USD-centric models.
