Remy Blaire is joined by Amira Valliani from the Solana Foundation at Money20/20 in Las Vegas. They discuss the significant changes in the blockchain landscape since the signing of the Genius Act three months ago, which has sparked explosive growth and interest around payments and stablecoins.
Amira highlights how companies are moving from experimental discussions about blockchain to serious considerations of how to integrate stablecoins into their business models. With the technology, regulatory framework, and infrastructure now in place, there is a perfect storm for rampant adoption in the coming year.
They explore what Solana is—a general-purpose blockchain designed to serve as neutral infrastructure for global capital markets as Amira emphasizes the potential for creating accessible financial ecosystems that can provide opportunities for people worldwide, particularly in regions where stable financial products are scarce.
Finally, they touched on the excitement surrounding innovation in payments and stablecoins, especially in non-U.S. markets. Amira shares her insights on how blockchain technology can lead to a more open and accessible financial landscape, which is crucial for improving livelihoods in various parts of the world.
