I have to share some updates

cc'd #23 - cw42/25

GM GM,

Your girl vickchick here with some spicy event updates – both juicy recaps from recent happenings and hot opportunities for what's coming next.

Since our beloved intern Quinn (marketing wizard by day, eternal intern by night for 2.5 years running) is living his best life on a well-deserved vacation, I'm stepping up to handle our w3.hub X game.

Here's my debut post (pls like, thx):

Tokenization Season is in full swing, so here are 3 recaps from our recent events that you definitely don't want to sleep on:

London Summit (BTS and honestly my favorite part)

Industry Call: “Winning the Stablecoin Race: How Banks and Nations Compete”

We dropped three sessions from our industry call on YouTube. Here's the TL;DR because I know you're busy:

Stablecoins for the Real Economy: Wenia's Approach - Fireblocks

  • Bank Colombia's WIA digital bank is deploying a Colombian peso stablecoin to capture young demographics and enable faster cross-border payments

  • Fireblocks provides the full institutional-grade infrastructure stack – from custody and wallets to tokenization engines and partner ecosystems

How to Scale Stablecoin Demand with Institutional-Grade DeFi - Morpho

  • Morpho's on-chain lending network has nearly $13B in deposits and offers open, permissionless infrastructure for stablecoin lending and yield generation

  • Real-world integration example: Coinbase's one-click USDC borrowing against BTC shows how DeFi can seamlessly back fiat access

The Geopolitical Impact of Stablecoins - AllUnity

  • Stablecoins are reshaping currency sovereignty and cross-border payments, with real case studies from Argentina showing practical applications

  • Europe needs a regulated stablecoin ecosystem to compete with US dominance in global digital payments

This was a "Heimspiel" for me, so I'm extra happy about this city movie:
