## Description

This panel explores why stablecoin utility, not just issuance, determines success. With $11 trillion settled on-chain in the last year, the speakers dig into why incumbent players still dominate the rails and why tech alone isn’t enough. From KYC forks of DeFi to yield-bearing stablecoins to FX use cases in emerging markets, this is a full-spectrum discussion on what it takes to win the stablecoin race.
