The Financial Reset: AI, CBDCs & Currency Wars | Simon Dixon with Catherine Austin Fitts
On November 25, 2025, Simon Dixon joins Catherine Austin Fitts for one of their most comprehensive conversations yet, connecting the dots between the future of money, global geopolitics, artificial intelligence and the next evolution of the financial system.
Beginning with stablecoins and the GENIUS Act, the discussion explores why governments and financial institutions are racing to build new monetary infrastructure—and what that could mean for the future of the US dollar, global capital markets and individual financial sovereignty.
Along the way, Simon and Catherine examine some of the biggest questions shaping the years ahead:
- Are stablecoins the next stage of dollar dominance—or something much bigger?
- How could AI, digital identity and programmable money reshape the global financial system?
- Why are Wall Street and governments embracing tokenization?
- What role will Bitcoin play as traditional finance moves on-chain?
- Is the world entering a genuinely multipolar monetary order?
- How are geopolitics, financial markets and technology becoming increasingly interconnected?
Topics discussed include:
- Stablecoins and the GENIUS Act
- The proposed CLARITY Act and tokenized assets
- Treasury markets and fiscal dominance
- CBDCs vs privately issued stablecoins
- BlackRock, Wall Street and financial infrastructure
- AI, surveillance and digital identity
- mBridge and cross-border payment systems
- Currency wars and the future of the US dollar
- Bitcoin's Strategic Reserve
- Self-custody and financial sovereignty
- Geopolitics, capital flows and the changing global order
Drawing on decades of experience across investment banking, venture capital, macroeconomics and Bitcoin, Simon shares his framework for understanding how these developments fit together—and why individuals should pay close attention to the architecture being built beneath today's financial headlines.
Whether your interest is Bitcoin, macroeconomics, geopolitics or the future of finance, this conversation offers a broad perspective on one of the biggest monetary transitions of our time.
