Airwallex Founder: Stablecoins to Develop Within Regulatory Systems

The notable part is the source: a payments executive framing stablecoins as something that gets absorbed into national rulebooks rather than routed around them. That matters for fintechs and banks weighing whether to build on regulated rails, since it implies compliance capacity, not token design, becomes the differentiator. The open question is whether this convergence is driven by regulators opening doors or by issuers accepting tighter constraints to reach mainstream payment flows.
