Fireside | Reality Check — The Requirements for Scaling Institutional Adoption

Thu, Jul 2, 2026, 12:00 AM

Institutions are interested in stablecoins. Interest and deployment are different things. In this session, Tomer Weller (Stellar Development Foundation) and Margaux Nijkerk (CoinDesk, Moderator) examine what it actually takes to move from institutional curiosity to institutional deployment — and where the real blockers are. The conversation covers: • What operational prerequisites institutions require before deploying stablecoins at scale • Where existing stablecoin infrastructure still falls short of institutional requirements • What the path from pilot to production looks like in practice A ground-level reality check on the gap between institutional interest and institutional readiness.
