The Future of Stablecoins

Pantera Partner Ryan Barney opened the discussion with a bold view – stablecoins represent a trillion-dollar opportunity redefining access to the U.S. dollar. He explored how blockchain-based dollars are strengthening global dollar dominance while powering real-world use cases from remittances to cross-border commerce. 

Joined by Daniel Vogel, Spencer Spinnell, and Harrison Mann, the panel unpacked how stablecoins are driving inclusion and efficiency worldwide – from instant settlement and yield-bearing assets to lower-cost payments reaching millions previously excluded from the financial system. The conversation also explored emerging regulatory clarity, the rise of corporate-issued stablecoins, and what the next decade of onchain money could look like – where moving value becomes as seamless as sending an email.
