Reimagining money: the rise and reach of stablecoins

Stablecoins are dominating the headlines and policy-makers are responding rapidly.

Eyes are also on their potential adoption for wholesale settlement.    Thibault Pelé, head of product for digital currency at Worldline, joins Lewis McLellan, head of content at OMFIF's Digital Monetary Institute, to discuss the evolving uses of stablecoins and the promise this instrument shows in reshaping money.
