In this episode, guest host Laura Talvitie is joined by Elise Soucie Watts, Executive Director at Global Digital Finance, and Amanda Wick, Founder of the Women in Crypto Association and author of The Catalysts, to unpack the evolving regulatory landscape for stablecoins and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).

Our expert guests explore the drivers behind the recent uptick in stablecoin adoption, how the United States’ GENIUS Act is catalysing digital asset activity, and the emerging policy development in the UK’s regulatory framework. We also examine the impact of global macroeconomic and political trends, the implications of CBDCs, and share views on the future of digital assets in a rapidly evolving financial services environment.
