Why TradFi Needs Stablecoins to Build the Future of Global Money
Building the Bridge to the Future of Money
Stablecoin use cases are diversifying rapidly beyond crypto trading:
• Cross-border payments and remittances with faster, cheaper settlement.
• Currency hedging in emerging markets facing inflation and volatility.
• Yield-generating products, offering stable, on-chain income opportunities for both retail and institutional investors.
All these trends point to a single reality: For traditional finance (TradFi), stablecoins are no longer optional. They are becoming strategic enablers — offering faster settlement, operational efficiency, global reach, and new revenue streams. Stablecoins are not a disruption to TradFi — they are a critical tool for its evolution.
This forum is designed to educate, connect, and empower traditional financial players and professionals to adopt stablecoins strategically — turning risk into competitive advantage.
Join us for insights on "Stablecoins and the Future of Traditional Finance" followed by a panel discussion with our guest speakers exploring how Stablecoins are "Bridging Old and New Finance" .
