About this episode
This episode discusses the practical applications and regulatory landscape of stablecoins, featuring insights from Checkout.com and Coinbase.
Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies designed to maintain a stable value because they’re pegged to a fiat currency, such as the U.S. dollar. The result is a highly liquid currency with a fixed value. Stablecoins are transacted on crypto rails as opposed to legacy banking systems, meaning they are faster, cheaper, and easier to use. Checkout.com, a leading global payments processor, is putting stablecoins into practice. They are upgrading their platform so that customers and merchants can use stablecoins in everyday transactions. Meanwhile, Coinbase is working with multiple levels of government to make sure that both legislation and regulations are in place to allow companies to use stablecoins with confidence.
