Overview
Speakers
Description:
In 2026, the dominance of USD-pegged stablecoins like USDT is being challenged by a new wave of regional assets designed for local commerce. Join Tether, Morph, BetterX and BitGo to debate whether the future of Asian trade belongs to a single global digital dollar or a fragmented, multi-currency ecosystem. This session explores the infrastructure requirements, liquidity trade-offs, and the real-world demand for stablecoins that reflect the economic realities of the APAC region.
