On this special edition of The Stable Pulse, White House advisor Patrick Witt sits down with Stablecon’s Head of Policy, Justin Friedman, on stage at Stablecon USA.

Patrick shares his read on how the GENIUS Act is enabling the stablecoin marketplace, offers his perspective on non-US Dollar stablecoin issuance, and touches on the transformative potential for agentic commerce and the need to modernize digital identity to keep up.

In this episode of Stable Pulse, Dante Reminick sits down with Tony McLaughlin, Founder and CEO of Ubyx, to explore what it will take for stablecoins to move beyond crypto and become a widely accepted form of money.

In Latin America, stablecoins are no longer a  “trend” to explain. They are already reshaping how businesses and financial institutions move value across the region. In the third edition of The State of Stables, Stablecon's Justin Friedman and Sanjib Kalita are joined by Andrew Van Aken of Artemis Analytics to cover the biggest trends shaping the stablecoin ecosystem in Q3 2026, with a focus on LATAM. The real story is growth beyond retail adoption to enterprise implementation. The discussion touches on stablecoin use across supplier payments, treasury operations, payroll, and why local-currency stablecoins have yet to gain significant traction but still might. The latest global market data shows that stablecoin supply remained flat year-over-year, while the number of sizable stablecoins continues to rise. Meanwhile, Latin America's stablecoin payment service providers approached $3 billion in monthly volume. The episode dives into Payward’s $600 million acquisition of Reap, the growing importance of distribution and payment orchestration, and why making stablecoin transactions easier across chains and embedded wallets could unlock the next wave of adoption. Finally, the policy corner explores Brazil’s regulated approach to stablecoins, Argentina’s embrace of the U.S. dollar, and the tension between efficiency for users and dollarization risk for Latin America's economies. As instant payment systems already move money domestically in seconds, what do stablecoins uniquely improve: settlement or regional interoperability?
