I will be in Mexico City on August 27–28 for Stablecoin Conference LATAM at the World Trade Center. This is positioned as Latin America’s first major event dedicated to stablecoins, with a two-day program that moves from what is live today to where the opportunities are headed next. The agenda spans regulation, cross-border payments, integration with banking rails, non-USD stablecoins, inclusion, and more.
Why this matters now:
Stablecoins have shifted from a niche topic to core financial plumbing in multiple contexts. At the end of 2024, market cap passed $210 billion and on-chain transfer volumes were about $26.1 trillion, even after a year of tighter regulatory scrutiny and quality filters on what counts as real activity. That mix of scale and transparency is why institutions, PSPs, and banks are treating this infrastructure seriously.
The LATAM lens:
Latin America brings real-world urgency. Mexico received a record US$64.7 billion in remittances in 2024, and the World Bank’s late-2024 outlook placed the year near US$68 billion. Reliable payout, predictable FX, and transparent fees are not talking points here, they are household outcomes. This conference puts those needs in the same room as the teams building the rails.
Regulatory baselines are clearer
In the EU, MiCA now provides a single rulebook for e-money and asset-referenced tokens, backed by supervisory guidance from ESMA and the EBA. In the U.S., the GENIUS Act established a federal framework for payment stablecoins in July 2025. Clearer obligations on authorization, reserves, and disclosures make it easier for serious operators to interoperate and scale.
I will be on site for both days to learn, share, and meet operators who care about execution quality and user trust. See you there in CDMX, bring your questions and your best data.
