If you’ve ever nodded along when someone says “USDC” but aren’t 100% sure what makes a stablecoin stable – this CryptoMondays London event for you.
This month, we’re cracking open the stablecoin toolbox: what they are, how they’re actually used, why they matter (even if you’re not using them), and what the new U.S. Genius Act means for founders, devs, and investors here in the UK.
We’ll keep it real:
💰 Which stablecoins are actually being used right now and why
🏛️ What regulation is shifting and how it could affect your product
🤔 Should you be building with them? Holding them? Avoiding them?
🇬🇧 What the Genius Act means here, and what’s coming next
