## Description

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.

Speakers:
Eunice Li, Crypto BD, Revolut
Denney Kwok, Chief Product Officer, Mento Labs
Deep Shah, Head of Growth, GnosisPay
Sergio Mello, Head of Stablecoins, Anchorage Digital

Moderator: Emilie Raffo, Founding Partner & Head of Sales, ChainSecurity
