Japan has launched its first yen-pegged stablecoin! A clear sign that digital currencies are moving into mainstream territory.

What they are building here acts as a signal that nations are ready to write the next chapter of money.

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.

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.

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 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.

It’s the new wave of living donors who have both the freedom and the funds to act with urgency.

Should you be able to buy Bitcoin on credit? The UK may soon say no.

The challenge now is balance: how do we nurture financial innovation without enabling harm?

Blockchain isn’t automatically secure - it’s just as strong as the systems built around it.

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

Incredible start to Consensus Toronto on May 14, filled with inspiring connections with people shaping the future of blockchain, tokenization, and Web3. It was a pleasure meeting David Burt, Premier of Bermuda, alongside Brittney Dalrymple from Sapien.io and Zachary Friedman, co-founder at SDM.co.
