Stablecoins could create new crypto use cases, especially for enthusiasts in developing countries, Aptos’ head of ecosystem said.
Stablecoin regulation is “the next catalyst” for the crypto industry and could lead to unprecedented “appetite from institutional investors,” according to Ash Pampati, head of ecosystem at the Aptos Foundation.
In an interview with Cointelegraph at Consensus 2025 in Toronto, Pampati said that “the whole world outside of the United States […] has already jumped onto this [stablecoins],” adding that “the US is […] at the doorstep.”
“I really think about new use cases that can emerge because of the borderless nature of stablecoins, because of the efficiency of the dollar onchain,” he said. “If you’re trying to send money to your friend in Nigeria, why do you have to go through a bunch of hoops?”
