MERGE Stage
In a region shaped by currency volatility and limited access to foreign exchange, stablecoins are emerging as a new infrastructure for digital dollarization. This panel explores how players such as Circle and leading Latin American fintechs are expanding access to the U.S. dollar, enabling more efficient cross-border payments, and advancing financial inclusion. We will examine real-world use cases, regulatory challenges, and the future of on-chain dollar finance.
