SUMMARY:Stablecoins and the Shift to Hybrid Finance: A Practical Guide for Payments Professionals
DESCRIPTION:Stablecoins are no longer a crypto side story. They are fast becoming a serious part of global payments infrastructure.  \nAs regulators move\, institutions engage\, and cross border inefficiencies persist\, a new model is emerging. Traditional banking rails are converging with blockchain based settlement\, creating what many are calling hybrid finance. The question is no longer whether stablecoins matter\, but how and when payments professionals should engage with them.  \nIn this session\, Sokin and The Payments Association will cut through the noise to examine what stablecoins actually are\, whether they are safe\, and how they fit into real world payment operations.  \nSession Takeaways:  \nJoin Sokin and a panel of industry experts to discuss:  \n\nWhat stablecoins really are and how they work in practice\, not theory \n\n\nThe biggest myths around volatility\, risk and criminal exposure\, and what the data shows \n\n\nTrust and safety: reserve backing\, transparency\, regulatory oversight and counterparty considerations \n\n\nWhy hybrid finance is emerging\, and what it means for cross border settlement and liquidity \n\n\nHow stablecoins can integrate into your existing treasury\, settlement and payout processes \n\n\nThe strategic decisions payments firms should be making now to avoid being left behind \n\n  \nSpeakers: \n
