Scaling Stablecoin Payments: Compliance, UX & Global Distribution

This panel dives into what’s really driving adoption: regulation (MICA, Genius Act), consumer UX, and merchant distribution. Speakers from Revolut, Mento, Gnosis, and Anchorage reveal how wallets, orchestration layers, and backend rails are outpacing even Visa. They debate the safety of USDC vs Tether, show why defragmentation is the real unlock, and explain why most users shouldn't even know they're using stablecoins.
