Stablecoins and Tokenized Deposits - What Does it Mean for CT Banks?
Stablecoins and Tokenized Deposits - What Does it Mean for CT Banks?
The continued development of digital asset products and distributed ledger technology will present challenges, and hopefully some opportunities, for Connecticut banks. The objective of this event is to have a focused discussion on understanding these products and possible use cases for CT banks.
This event has been organized by several members of the Digital Asset Advisory Group that is working with the CT Department of Banking. The "DAAG" was established in 2025 by the Connecticut Banking Commissioner. It is an "informal, external" group "comprised of individual volunteers with knowledge and experience relating to financial services, consumer financial protection, and digital assets."
The lead sponsor of this event is FS Vector.
The organizers of this event are: Jason Cabral (Gibson Dunn); Joe Chambers (CT Dept of Banking); Emily Goodman (FS Vector); Kevin Leitão (Leitão Law); David Mangini (Fairfield University); John Preli (UConn-Stamford); and Jesse Silverman (Hometap). All members of the organizing committee are actively engaged in efforts to support digital innovation in CT banks.
We are hoping that bankers across Connecticut will join us for this educational opportunity and to interact with the CT Department of Banking team and many of the members of the Digital Asset Advisory Group.
