Recent Developments & What’s Next
The U.S. stablecoin landscape is entering a defining era. Recent months have seen the introduction of a federal licensing and supervisory framework, setting national standards for issuance, reserves, and disclosures. Alongside this, the rollout of FedNow and broader adoption of RTP have created fertile ground for integrating tokenized dollars into real-time payment flows.
What’s next? Expect sharper reserve and audit requirements, deeper bank–fintech partnerships, and the emergence of interoperability standards that could pave the way for seamless cross-border use. This summit will unpack these changes and prepare you for the policy, technology, and market shifts that will define the next five years of U.S. stablecoins.
