Kicking off the week with a panel at @CoinferenceX on “Stablecoins in the Real World.” Stablecoins are moving beyond trading and becoming part of how money moves, across payments, payroll, cross-border settlement and financial products. A few takeaways: - Exchanges need to become more than entry and exit points, bringing stablecoins, trading, RWAs and other assets into one unified experience. - Stablecoins can become the connective layer across different parts of finance. - The opportunity goes beyond payments, with stablecoins increasingly becoming part of structured products and yield. My 2028 prediction? You’ll be able to pay for your @token2049 ticket, dinner and after-party with stablecoins. At that point, they won’t feel like a crypto product. They’ll just feel like another way money works.
