THE EPICENTER: WHAT’S AT STAKE IN 2026
With the GENIUS Act establishing the United States as the first major economy with a comprehensive federal regulatory framework for payment stablecoins, Stablecon USA 2026 arrives at the inflection point. This three-day program will go deep on the issues that matter most:
- Who Will Win the Future of Money? Banks vs. fintechs vs. tech giants, the white-label stablecoin-as-a-service model, tokenized treasuries, deposit tokens, and how tokenized assets and stablecoins are converging into a single programmable balance sheet.
- Policy is Layer 1. OCC rulemaking, federal vs. state licensing under GENIUS, the yield and interest prohibition, bank vs. non-bank issuers, and what concentration risk means when two issuers control 85%+ of supply.
- My Money is Smarter Than Your Money. Cross-border B2B payments, merchant acceptance, AI agents as economic actors, machine-to-machine micropayments, and the UX layer that makes programmable money invisible.
- Infrastructure Built to Bend. Multi-chain strategies, bridge protocols, the race to make stablecoins work everywhere, liquidity orchestration, and the role of public vs. corporate blockchains in next-generation money stacks.
