Banking on Stablecoins in EMEA: Use Cases, Regulation & First Steps

🎬 Banking on Stablecoins in EMEA: Use Cases, Regulation & First Steps
Stablecoins are evolving from market narrative to financial infrastructure. For banks, the questions are becoming urgent: Where do stablecoins fit? What are the most developed use cases? What role should banks play?
In this session we cover:

➤ Circle and Standard Chartered hosted a webinar discussing the integration of stablecoins into banking infrastructure across EMEA and AMIA, highlighting their evolution from narrative to financial utility.
➤ Key use cases discussed include 24/7 programmatic settlement for capital markets, cross-border payments, and treasury management, with USDC being a dominant player in transaction volume.
➤ Regulatory clarity is increasing globally, with frameworks like MiCA in the EU, the UK's evolving regime, and the US's Genius Act providing a more defined path for stablecoin issuance and adoption by traditional financial institutions.

Justin Sun Is Going After Trump

🎬 Justin Sun Is Going After Trump
Trump’s family stablecoin just froze an entire crypto exchange linked to Justin Sun. No hack, no court order, just smart-contract power. HTX’s users were suddenly force-swapped to Tether and lawsuits are flying between billionaires.
But this isn’t just a personal feud. The real shock is how new laws make the kill switch mandatory for every US-backed stablecoin and how that could expose every user. If you want to know what this means for your money, watch now.

➤ A stablecoin linked to the Trump family, USD1, froze assets on the HTX exchange, escalating a dispute with Justin Sun, who had previously invested heavily in the stablecoin.
➤ The incident highlights the implications of the 'Genius Act,' which mandates 'kill switch' capabilities for US-compliant stablecoins, raising concerns about user fund control and potential censorship.
➤ The article analyzes the legal and technical aspects of stablecoin freezes, comparing the actions of USD1 with those of Tether and USDC, and discusses the growing bifurcation between centralized, regulated stablecoins and decentralized alternatives.
