Stablecoin regulation accelerates adoption, faces hurdles

Executives from MoonPay, Ripple, and Paxos believe recent stablecoin regulation has provided a 'permission slip' for increased adoption. However, significant challenges remain in developing robust infrastructure, ensuring user privacy, and expanding distribution channels for mainstream payment integration. While stablecoins offer faster and cheaper cross-border transactions compared to traditional systems, their current share in global remittances is small. Institutional adoption hinges on regulated products and trusted custody, with a focus on utility beyond market capitalization. Overcoming privacy concerns on public blockchains is crucial for broader consumer acceptance and integration into daily financial activities.
