Scale at Speed™
Abstract
For a long time, the conversation around financial services has centered on making payments faster, more efficient, and easier to access. That conversation is now starting to evolve. As stablecoins gain momentum and value becomes programmable, institutions have an opportunity to look beyond transactions and rethink how liquidity, settlement, and financial operations are managed across ecosystems.
In this Everest Group whitepaper, supported by Tech Mahindra, we examine why stablecoins are moving into the financial mainstream, where enterprise adoption is beginning to take shape, and what it will take to scale these models responsibly. The report also explores the growing role of AI, interoperability, and trust in enabling the next phase of financial innovation.
