Breakfast Panel: Navigating Stablecoin Adoption and Regulation
Join us for a breakfast roundtable on May 15 at 8:30 AM, co-hosted with A&M Crypto, Sullivan & Cromwell, Rail and McCarthy Tetrault. This will take place near the Consensus Toronto venue at the McCarthy Tetrault event room.
This session will convene legal, finance, and operational leaders to discuss the evolving global regulatory landscape for stablecoins and the practical considerations of integrating them into institutional payment systems.
Drawing on insights from FTX’s global mass payments process to return creditor funds, we will also explore how traditional institutions are approaching stablecoin adoption and evaluate the emerging debate between yield-bearing and non-yield-bearing stablecoin models.
Jacob M. Croke of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP will provide a legal overview of the U.S. regulatory landscape, including the Stable Act, Genius Act, and key SEC positions.
Ryan Clements Director of Advanced Research and Knowledge Management at the Alberta Securities Commission will provide a legal overview of the Canadian regulatory landscape.
Michael Leto of Alvarez & Marsal's Crypto Practice will share practical perspectives on integrating stablecoins into payment systems—covering operational readiness, margin improvement, controls, vendor onboarding, and financial reporting.
Bhanu Kohli, CEO and Co-Founder of Rail will cover the fintech perspective on the global benefits of stablecoins.
Lori Stein of McCarthy Tetrault LLP will provide the Canadian crypto industry perspective.
