Stablecoins are emerging as one of the defining drivers of the new digital economy, already influencing the way payments are made and how funds are transferred.
From banks and payment institutions to fintechs and central banks, interest in stablecoins continues to grow, as the market explores the next generation of secure, fast and global digital transactions.
Against this rapidly evolving market, Ignazio Angeloni, Senior Policy Fellow at Bocconi University and SAFE, former member of the ECB Supervisory Board and former Director General for Financial Stability at the European Central Bank, will discuss the The Future of Stablecoins: Stablecoins & the Evolution of Digital Payments.
His intervention will form part of the programme of the Digital Assets and the Future of Finance Summit 2026, which will take place on 7 July 2026 at City of Dreams Mediterranean in Limassol.
He will examine how stablecoins are transforming the payments ecosystem, the challenges they pose for financial stability, and how supervisory authorities are seeking to strike the right balance between innovation and the safety of transactions.
