Nadar Al-Naji tried several years ago to build a business called Basis around a stablecoin -- and gave $130 million back to his investors when regulators rendered the business almost impossible to build.

Will he have to shut it down again or could it become a force in the crypto industry? Interviewer Erin Griffith of the New York Times talks with him here.
