The New Payment Stack- From Stablecoins to Global Business
The New Payment Stack
From Stablecoins to Global Business
Introduction
Stablecoins are moving beyond crypto-native markets and becoming part of the infrastructure for global business.
During Bitcoin Asia, Avalanche and Team1 will bring together leaders from payments, stablecoins, fintech, financial institutions, AI and digital asset infrastructure for an afternoon of focused conversations and curated networking.
Together, we will explore how the next generation of payments is becoming programmable, autonomous and real-time — and what it will take to bring onchain money into everyday commerce.
