Big banks aren’t chasing crypto trends, they’re trying to match its momentum.

If they start issuing stablecoins tied to major currencies, it starts being infrastructure.

Singapore and Japan aren’t waiting for the world to agree on stablecoins - they’re already using them. Singapore’s focused on payments and tokenised assets, Japan on digitising the yen and trade settlement.

For decades, SWIFT has been the quiet backbone of global banking - the messaging layer that keeps money moving. Now, by building infrastructure to settle stablecoins and tokenised assets, it’s stepping from the sidelines onto the pitch.

Stablecoins aren’t as new as they look - they echo the era of national bank notes: private money, backed by public debt.

History suggests they’ll grow fast… until the rest of the system evolves to compete. The real question isn’t if they scale, but for how long before banks adapt.

A consortium of nine major European banks has announced plans to launch a euro-denominated stablecoin.

Do you think a euro stablecoin can truly compete with dollar-backed tokens, or has the gap already widened too far?

The global stablecoin market is now worth more than £200bn - and growing fast. Yet while the US has raced ahead with clear regulation through the GENIUS Act, the UK risks hesitating at the very moment adoption is accelerating.

Stablecoins are at a crossroads.

They promise the stability of the dollar with the efficiency of blockchain - a powerful idea for remittances, cross-border payments, and preserving value in volatile economies.

But stability isn’t guaranteed.

Stablecoins promise efficient, borderless payments—but questions of trust, regulation, and resilience will define their global future.

A new US stablecoin law is pushing Europe to rethink its digital currency strategy, accelerating the Digital Euro into overdrive.

This is more than just regulatory chess, it’s safeguarding Europe’s sovereignty in a world where $-backed stablecoins are poised to dominate cross-border payments.

The GENIUS Act's passage caught many in Europe off guard and sparked concerns dollar-backed stablecoins could tighten America’s grip on cross-border payments.

The UK is sleepwalking on stablecoins.

While the US sets the pace with legislation and strategy, Britain is stuck debating definitions. Pound-backed stablecoins barely exist, and the gap is widening fast.

Companies are lining up to launch their own stablecoins, but it’s not as simple as flipping a switch.

The framework exists, but execution will demand strategy, not just capital.

Stablecoins are no longer just crypto side projects. They're becoming financial infrastructure.

It’s easy to focus on volatility and hype, but this is the quiet revolution - programmable money, with real-world utility and policy weight behind it.

Stablecoins aren’t just a financial innovation; they’re a shift in control.

The real tension isn’t about volatility or speculation. It’s about what happens when money becomes programmable, transparent, and harder to contain.

Public finance isn’t just about balancing books anymore.

In the age of AI, data flows, and digital governance, it’s becoming a core part of how the modern state operates.

Legacy systems won’t get us there. Leadership will.

Bitcoin passed $100K - but can it hold?

Bitcoin’s breakout above $100,000 was historic, but the question now is whether that level is solid ground or just another psychological milestone.

Digital assets are no longer on the fringe - they're moving into the financial core.

When Italy’s largest bank, Intesa Sanpaolo, quietly acquired $1M in bitcoin this year, it wasn’t just a test. It was a signal.

Asia has the wealth to bridge the SDG financing gap. The question is - will it deploy it strategically?

With a $4.2 trillion global gap in funding the SDGs, $1.5 trillion of that in Asia-Pacific alone, the stakes have never been higher.

The capital exists. What’s missing is the right approach.
Asian wealth can bridge the SDG financing gap—but philanthropy needs a strategy shift
Asia-Pacific will need an additional $1.5 trillion annually to meet its SDG targets. Where can it find that money? From those who holds its wealth.

Whether you're building, investing, or adopting, it's time we treat blockchain security not as a feature, but as a foundation.
