Bitcoin Security, Stablecoin Growth & The Real Threat Ahead

In this discussion, the panel dives deep into the current realities and future challenges of the crypto and blockchain industry, with a strong focus on risk management and what it will take for true institutional adoption. The speakers compare TradFi infrastructure with the rapidly evolving digital asset ecosystem, highlighting critical issues around collateral, custody, user safety, and platform failures.

A major part of the conversation centers on stablecoins—their rising global market cap, why they’re used differently in the U.S. compared to abroad, and how they’ve become a lifeline in countries facing inflation and weak monetary policy. One executive even notes that the growth of their stablecoin is directly linked to the poor decisions of central bankers around the world.

The panel also looks ahead at long-term questions, including Bitcoin’s security, potential threats like quantum computing, and the industry’s ongoing need for better technical education, interoperability, and more robust, user-friendly products.
