Stablecoin Adoption and Tokenized Settlement Take Center Stage at Binance Blockchain Week

During a panel session moderated by CryptoNews during Binance Blockchain Week, panelists examined the accelerating evolution of stablecoins, from retail adoption and cross-border payments to tokenized settlement and institutional frameworks. Speakers included Sam Elfarra (Tron DAO), Marcelo Sacomori (Braza Bank), and Daniel Lee (Banking Circle).

Stablecoins: The Fastest-Growing Segment of Digital Assets

Opening the discussion, the moderator positioned stablecoins as the fastest-growing category in digital assets, citing issuance and wallet counts rising by around 50% and daily trading volumes now surpassing Visa. The conversation focused on usability, reliability during volatility, the emergence of bank-issued tokens, and the infrastructure required to support tokenized settlement.

Brazil’s Regulatory Trust Advantage

Marcelo Sacomori, representing Brazil’s largest stablecoin dealer, detailed Braza Bank’s issuance of BRL- and USD-linked tokens driven by FX demand and corporate payments. He stressed transparent reserves, independent verification, and liquidity as pillars of trust. Brazil’s regulatory clarity, he said, has accelerated institutional uptake and consumer confidence.

“Once you use stablecoins for payments, you’ll never want to go back to traditional ways. I think, in two years, stablecoins will no longer be a niche product,” said Sacomori.

Tokenized Settlement and the Institutional Shift

Banking Circle’s Daniel Lee explained that tokenized real-world assets cannot scale without a tokenized settlement capable of atomic, near-instant transfer. He outlined the distinction between tokenized deposits and bearer stablecoins, adding that EU e-money token frameworks create regulated, bankruptcy-remote structures suitable for institutions.

Emerging Markets Driving Volume and Use Cases

Speaking for Tron DAO, Sam Elfarra described strong momentum across LATAM, Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, where users seek affordability, reliability, and dollar stability. Tron’s uptime and operational resilience, he noted, have supported high transaction throughput even during periods of market volatility.

Closing the session, it was concluded that stablecoins are no longer a niche experiment but are rapidly becoming the backbone of global value exchange—reshaping how money moves, is stored, and, in the near future, how tokenized assets will settle.
