Stablecoins have emerged as a critical pillar of the crypto economy, powering everything from on-chain trading and remittances to institutional settlement and DeFi liquidity. But are they truly ready for mass adoption, or are we still navigating foundational challenges? This panel will examine the current state and future trajectory of stablecoins—across algorithmic, asset-backed, and CBDC models. What’s driving enterprise and sovereign interest in stablecoins? How are compliance, interoperability, and reserve transparency being addressed across issuers? What role do stablecoins play in the evolving regulatory landscape, especially post-MiCA and Genius Act? We’ll unpack the key players, risks, and innovations defining this rapidly evolving space—and whether stablecoins are poised to become the mainstream gateway to digital finance.
Join us for an insightful discussion and for HOT TAKES with pioneers at the forefront of Real World Asset Tokenization and Stablecoins. A Q&A session will follow the panel. Indian Food along with light alcohol will also be served.
