Stablecoins are being positioned as the critical bridge between traditional finance and the world of blockchain, with the potential to transform how businesses move money and raise capital. But as Malaysia explores this new frontier through regulatory sandboxes, what are stablecoins really, and what will it take to adopt them safely and effectively?
Tech lawyers Ong Johnson and Lo Khai Yi, Partners at Halim Hong & Quek, join us to demystify the world of stablecoins. They break down the different models (fiat-backed, asset-backed, and algorithmic), explain the current gaps in Malaysia's regulatory framework, and make the case for how to build public trust in digital currency.
We discuss:
The different stablecoin models and which one suits Malaysia best.
The role of regulatory sandboxes in fostering innovation safely.
The current "black hole" in regulations for issuing stablecoins.
How to build trust through clear legal frameworks and reserve backing.
The potential impact of stablecoins on business and cross-border trade.
For business leaders, policymakers, and investors looking to understand the future of digital assets in Malaysia, this is an essential legal and strategic guide.
