Stablecoins are the crypto primitive that have the greatest product market fit with non-crypto users. This is because around the world, the structural demand for US dollars is probably 10x - 100x the available supply (by “structural” here I mean that if you don’t live in America, it is absurdly hard to consistently access dollars unless you’re rich. Most financial institutions simply did not offer a product for it). As stablecoin adoption has expanded over the last half decade I’ve grown increasingly curious about how more traditional (non crypto, and in many cases non-financial) institutions could solve problems using stablecoins. While I’m insanely interested in learning more about this topic, I have found stablecoin-related conversations are often too centered around crypto use cases, or too high level and removed from practical considerations faced by potential customers, especially at the enterprise/institution level.
To patch this gap, I’m organizing a one day-conference on stablecoins with my good friend Aaron Frank where practitioners from the stablecoin world will meet finance professionals across the CFO Suite, Corporate Treasury, Payments and the Correspondent Banking universe. The invite-only event will take place in San Francisco on Wednesday February 12, 2025. Confirmed speakers include:
