🌟 What an incredible fireside chat! Our co-founder, Sean Lee, had the privilege of moderating an engaging discussion at the #SMARTCONTACT series with #JeremyAllaire, co-founder and CEO of Circle — the issuer of the largest regulated #stablecoin, #USDC! Here are some key takeaways: 1️⃣ Global Adoption: Asia is quickly becoming a major hub for USDC, driving institutional adoption and enabling smoother cross-border transactions. 2️⃣ Trust and Compliance: Leading financial jurisdictions are rolling out stablecoin frameworks to build trust and ensure compliance as demand for stablecoins surges. 3️⃣ Bipartisan Support: Stablecoin policy is gaining bipartisan momentum in the US, paving the way for future regulatory frameworks. 4️⃣ Diverse Ecosystem: Non-USD stablecoins, like EURC under the MiCA regime, are proving their vital role in the broader ecosystem. A huge shoutout to Web3 Harbour, Circle, and Invest Hong Kong for making this fantastic event possible! 🚀
