The U.S. Federal Reserve will host a conference focusing on payment innovations on October 21, 2025, led by Governor Christopher Waller, addressing stablecoins and tokenization.
Overview of the Conference
The Federal Reserve conference will take place in Washington D.C. and aims to explore the influence of new technologies on payments. It will particularly focus on stablecoins and decentralized finance platforms.
Issues and Opportunities for Stablecoins
Governor Waller emphasized the importance of embracing technological changes to meet business and consumer needs. There will be a primary focus on policy dialogue related to regulation rather than funding initiatives.
Expected Regulatory Changes
Changes in regulatory approaches for stablecoins are anticipated following the conference. Previous Federal Reserve conferences on digital assets have historically stimulated interest and speculation in stablecoin markets.
The conference by the Federal Reserve on stablecoins and tokenization may serve as a significant moment to shape future regulations and the application of new technologies in the financial innovation landscape.
