Ali Niknam, CEO of bunq, advocated for the potential of US dollar stablecoins during the Money 20/20 Europe panel in Amsterdam, highlighting their transformational role for regions grappling with currency instability and hyperinflation. Emphasizing digital finance's evolution, he articulated that stablecoins represent a necessary abstraction in currency, fundamentally tied to trust and perception. The annual fintech conference, which saw over 7,500 attendees, provided a platform for discussing neobanking's future, with Niknam pushing back against the notion that stablecoins only benefit developed markets.
Niknam believes US dollar stablecoins accessible through mobile phones will prove 'transformational for large groups of people' worldwide, particularly in countries suffering from currency instability.
Niknam explained on stage why he thinks stablecoins are the next step in the evolution of money systems, viewing them as necessary abstraction layers that serve as stable financial instruments.
