Could stablecoins and decentralised finance ever truly operate without trust, or did trust simply relocate? In this webinar, we examined how, despite blockchain’s speed and transparency, real-world payments still relied on off-chain processes such as data integrity, compliance, reserve validation, and redemption, where risk and accountability ultimately sat.
We showed how trust shifted across multiple participants and why on-chain finality did not equal real-world settlement. When failures occurred, accountability remained central, often leaving banks as the final point of responsibility, while highlighting both the efficiencies and fragilities of stablecoins and the role of a Global Single Shared Platform in bridging on-chain and off-chain controls.
