The stablecoin space has more conferences than ever, and nobody can attend them all.
That's why we launched the Stabledash Events Page.
We're tracking conferences across the ecosystem and building video libraries from our on-the-ground coverage so you can stay in the loop without the travel. We are starting with video coverage from Stablecoin Conference LATAM 2025 in Mexico City and Bluechip25 Crypto Safety Conference in Vienna.
This week also explores the adoption challenges holding the industry back. From yield strategies that accidentally scare mainstream users away to the infrastructure teams solving real financial access problems across Africa and Latin America.
This week we cover:
New Stableminded Episode: Chris Maurice from Yellow Card joins Drew to discuss building Africa's leading licensed stablecoin infrastructure provider
The Rate Paradox: Why Higher Yields Are Killing Mainstream Stablecoin Adoption from Joey Isaacson, Founder of Nook
Plus: Paxos and LayerZero launch regulated USDG0; Circle's xReserve enables chains to issue USDC-backed local stablecoins; Frax partners with Brale for fully-backed stablecoin-as-a-service and more

Your Hub for Stablecoin Conferences
We've launched a dedicated Stabledash Events page — your hub for tracking stablecoin conferences and accessing video libraries from our on-the-ground coverage.
Check out our latest coverage:
Bluechip25 Crypto Safety Conference
Bluechip brought banks, exchanges, protocols, and regulators to Vienna to tackle the industry's trust problem. As the only ratings agency exclusively focused on stablecoin economic safety, Bluechip rates coins from A+ to F based on provable asset backing, team credibility, and bankruptcy-remote structures.
The conversations explored why most stablecoins earn F ratings (and none have achieved A+ yet), how MiCA is reshaping European liquidity and compliance, and why nine European banks chose consortium models over individual stablecoin launches.
5 interviews from leaders at Bluechip, Ethereum Foundation, AllUnity, KuCoin EU and Raiffeisen Bank International.
Stablecoin Conference LATAM 2025
Bitso Business brought together builders, infrastructure providers, and payment companies in Mexico City to explore stablecoin adoption across Latin America. The focus: cross-border payments, remittances, and why the region is becoming the proving ground for real-world stablecoin use cases.
16 interviews from builders at companies like Coinbase, Rain, Monad, Bitso and more
What to Watch
Africa's Stablecoin Powerhouse Driving Real Financial Freedom
Yellow Card has grown into Africa's leading licensed stablecoin on/off-ramp, processing $6B+ across 20+ countries and powering banks, fintechs, Visa, Coinbase, Block, and PayPal with instant fiat-to-stablecoin flows. What began as a student project in 2016 has become critical infrastructure for a continent facing high inflation, expensive remittances, and 400M+ unbanked adults.
Yellow Card provides the financial access traditional systems never delivered. Backed by investors like Blockchain Capital, Polychain, Coinbase Ventures, and Block, the company is now expanding beyond Africa with stablecoin treasury, UMA integrations, and global remittance partnerships.

Stories from this Week

The Rate Paradox: Why Higher Yields Are Killing Mainstream Stablecoin Adoption
Mainstream users benchmark against bank rates (3–4%). So when they see 6–7%, it feels competitive.
When they see 12–15%, it feels like a scam.
Over 72% of bank-native users become skeptical the moment yields exceed “what feels normal.”
Moderate yields let Nook focus on what actually builds adoption: instant withdrawals, ease of use, reliability, and clear explanations instead of 20-minute deep dives into why 15% APY is “real.” Once trust is earned, users naturally explore higher yields over time.
In a market full of boosted rates and token incentives, Nook is betting on steady, transparent, sustainable earnings that mainstream users actually adopt.
