How deeply will stablecoins disrupt traditional finance?
Over the past decade, digital assets have moved from the fringes of finance into the mainstream, with stablecoins emerging as one of the sector’s most significant developments. Valued at around $240–250 billion in mid-2025, the stablecoin market has grown rapidly and is now attracting serious attention from central banks, regulators, and institutional investors. Projections for the next five years vary sharply — from $500 billion to over $3 trillion in circulation — reflecting both the sector’s potential and the uncertainty surrounding its trajectory. The stakes are high, with implications for global payment systems, investment markets, and the wider economy.
This webinar, part of a three-part series in partnership with Schroders and linked to the FT Business Book of the Year Awards, will explore the future of money through the lens of stablecoins and other digital assets. Drawing on the expertise of award-nominated authors, leading technologists, investors, and policy specialists, it will examine the opportunities, risks, and timelines for disruption. The series reflects the themes shaping this year’s most important business writing, and aims to bring those debates to a wider audience ahead of the awards.
