Fintech Daydreaming

Emergency Episode - Nine Banks, One Stablecoin, Zero Chill


Listen Later

Forget the usual schedule — Ville and Pål hit the big red button and jumped on the mics less than 24 hours after nine European banks dropped their bombshell: a MiCA-compliant euro stablecoin.


Fresh off a late flight from Copenhagen (and still running on coffee and questionable airport snacks), we dive straight into the questions everyone’s asking:

.- Do we actually need a bank-issued euro stablecoin?

.- Why are Danske and SEB — two banks outside the eurozone — in on the action?

.- Is this the next chapter of money… or just a rerun of 19th century wildcat banking with shinier marketing?


Expect a crash course in what stablecoins really are, why this joint venture might matter (or not), and plenty of healthy skepticism about timelines, use cases, and whether anyone will actually use these coins outside PowerPoint decks.
