Financial Institutions and FinTechs: A New Wave of Financial Technology Powered by Stablecoin

Not long ago, cryptocurrency providers struggled to establish partnerships with traditional financial institutions. The GENIUS Act, passed in 2025, established a regulatory framework for payment stablecoins, ushering in the next wave of payments and treasury management technology for both financial institutions and fintechs. Given the regulatory green light, some traditional financial institutions have waded into the digital asset ecosystem, providing traditional banking services for digital asset companies, partnering with digital asset fintechs to offer digital asset investment and payment solutions, and investing in distributed ledger technology. Meanwhile fintechs continue to expand, diversify, and scale their digital asset offerings. In this session, speakers discuss the current Stablecoin landscape and industry offerings, with a focus on how Stablecoin has paved the way for industry partnerships and innovation, supporting diverse and customer-first digital asset and payment offerings.
