Stablecoins are rewiring global finance. 🚀 Our CEO and Co-founder, Tianwei Liu, recently sat down with Robert Baggs (Cointelegraph) to discuss the structural growth of digital assets in APAC and how StraitsX is leading the charge. Key Discussion: 🔹 The “Stablecoin Sandwich”: While blockchain settlement is fast, the real challenge is the “last mile” to ensure seamless on/off ramps between fiat and stablecoins 🔹 Tapping into Existing Rails: The fastest way to scale is by leveraging existing card networks. Users should be able to spend their digital assets in the real-world without needing new rails. 🔹 Stablecoin Utility at Scale: Through partnerships with Visa, we are making stablecoin spending "plug-and-play", connecting digital asset users to 150 million global merchants instantly. 🔹 Regulation as a Moat: Tech can be replicated, but trust cannot. A compliance-first model is a must. 📹 Watch the full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/gxTbjidR
