Stablecoin Collapse Tsunami: Systemic risk, contagion, and the future of digital finance

The stablecoin ecosystem, currently valued in the hundreds of billions, is built on the promise of stability. But what if that promise shatters? The Insights Forum together with the Black Swan Insight, convenes an exclusive roundtable to confront a truly controversial scenario: the sudden, catastrophic collapse of a major, USD-backed stablecoin. This isn't just about crypto; it's a systemic risk that could send shockwaves through traditional finance, threaten payment systems, and challenge the very notion of financial stability in a globally interconnected system.

We've invited regulators, policymakers, stablecoin providers, blockchain platforms, banks, and payment system providers because this is a must-attend discussion for those at the sharp end of managing systemic risk. Beyond identifying the scenarios of the unfolding looming threat, we will explore unforeseen opportunities that could emerge from such a disruption.

The implications are real, immediate, and potentially transformative. Be prepared for a sharp discussion that will shape the future of finance. This pivotal conversation lays the groundwork for the Black Swan Summit, where we will go deeper into the critical digital financial infrastructure and other emerging risks.
