DigiFT Academy: The Future of Stablecoin Utility
About the Webinar
The Future of Stablecoin Utility - From Payments to Yield
Stablecoins are evolving fast — from passive store-of-value tokens to active value creators powering payments, yield, and DeFi integrations across ecosystems. But few are tapping their full potential.
In this DigiFT Academy webinar, leaders from Arbitrum, Fireblocks, StraitsX and DigiFT unpack the next evolution of stablecoin utility. We’ll explore the macro trends reshaping the space, the critical role of L2 scaling, institutional custody, and regulated RWA yield—and show how builders are turning idle balances into powerful revenue-generating tools. Through real-world examples from wallets, CEXs, and payment apps, we’ll illustrate how this transformation is already taking shape across the Web3 ecosystem.
Whether you’re a wallet, payment platform, exchange, or stablecoin issuer join us to learn how to tap into this next wave of stablecoin monetization – and why early adopters are poised to win market share.
