Stablecoins

Yep, we’re talking about those again - but this time, the story’s changed.

The market has jumped to $270B, transaction volumes are rivalling SWIFT, and - finally - stablecoins are making real money.

In this episode of Fintech Insider Insights, in partnership with Fireblocks, David Barton-Grimley is joined by an expert panel to get practical on how to actually operationalise stablecoin payments: from architecture and compliance to KPIs and common pitfalls.

No more whitepapers - this is stablecoins, in the real world.

This week's guests: 

• Ran Goldi - SVP Payments and Network at Fireblocks
• ⁠Lux Thiagarajah⁠ - Chief Commercial Officer at OpenPayd
• Anoosh Arevshatian - Chief Product Officer at Zodia Custody
