Stablecoins and tokenisation are opening up new possibilities for corporate treasury, from faster cross-border payments and more efficient liquidity management to improved collateral mobility. But how much practical value can they deliver? And what needs to change before treasurers can adopt them at scale?
EuroFinance spoke with Ander Olivier, founding board member of the Middle East Stablecoin Association, and Ramana Kumar, president of the stablecoin ecosystem at ADI Foundation, who discussed the challenges of integrating digital money into existing treasury systems, the role of regulation and technology providers and the future of tokenised bank deposits and central bank money.
