## Description

"The institutions are still not here because stablecoins leak too much." -  Eric Hill, Head of legal & policy, Railgun

Stablecoins promise efficiency but without privacy, they can’t deliver adoption. This talk from a DeFi-focused lawyer explains why privacy is not a loophole but essential infrastructure. From zero-knowledge proofs to selective disclosure, stablecoins need built-in confidentiality to meet institutional, commercial, and human rights needs. Without it, they’ll stay stuck in crypto’s echo chamber.
