Part 3/6:
A significant topic of discussion was the forthcoming stablecoin regulation. Many attendees interpreted this as a precursor to the eventual introduction of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), despite President Trump's previous assertions against CBDCs. The emphasis on stablecoin legislation raises questions about the future role of digital assets in the American economic framework, with early predictions suggesting that USDC or RL USD might emerge as the U.S. CBDC.
The notion of a "Bitcoin strategic reserve" was also emphasized, indicating its importance alongside stablecoin development. The conference participants described Bitcoin as a crucial component of the broader digital asset ecosystem, despite knowing that some staunch advocates may take issue with this characterization.
