tablecoins are no longer a fringe concept; they are reshaping how financial institutions think about payments, liquidity, and digital asset strategy. With B2B stablecoin volumes reaching $83 billion in 2025 and regulatory frameworks accelerating across the EU, US, UK, and Hong Kong, the pressure on institutions to act—and act correctly—has never been greater.

This webinar brings together leading voices in risk, compliance, and law to cut through the complexity and give financial professionals the clarity they need to move forward with confidence.

What we’ll cover

• Stablecoins demystified: A clear, accessible definition for professionals with a foundational understanding of cryptoassets.
• Risk frameworks for digital assets: What financial institutions should be building, and how mature current industry practice really is.
• The global regulatory landscape: Practical challenges of keeping pace with MiCA, the GENIUS Act, the FCA’s emerging crypto framework, and Hong Kong’s stablecoin regime as adoption accelerates.
• New and emerging legal risks: A look at the frontier questions raised by AI and AI agents interacting with digital assets.
• Cross-jurisdictional compliance: How to assess the compliance, risk, and legal considerations of stablecoins as non-USD issuance grows.
• The single biggest challenge: The one thing every institution must tackle as they enter or deepen their engagement with digital assets.
