Stablecoins, L2s & Privacy: Unlocking Institutional Adoption is an exclusive evening event, hosted by Applied Blockchain at Soho House Barcelona, during the European Blockchain Convention.
Event Description
Stablecoins are moving mainstream under new regulation (MiCA in Europe, the GENIUS Act in the US) and fresh infrastructure launches like Circle’s Arc. But key questions remain: how can enterprises adopt at scale, ensure compliance, and maintain confidentiality?
Join us for drinks, networking, and insights as industry leaders discuss:
- The regulatory shift and rising enterprise interest in stablecoins
- Why L2s are the natural path for scaling institutional use cases
- How privacy is the missing piece; and how Silent Data solves it
This event is designed for decision-makers in financial institutions, RWA platforms, stablecoin providers, and enterprise-focused Web3 companies.
