Examining the Regulatory Outlook for Stablecoin and CBDC

Kelley Drye Partner Matt Luzadder will discuss ​“Examining the Regulatory Outlook for Stablecoin and CBDC” at the 2025 Payments Legal & Compliance Summit, a virtual event organized by Nacha.

Matt and co-presenter Adrian Wall, CEO of Digital Sovereignty Alliance, will explore the evolving regulatory landscape for stablecoins and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) in this essential session for payments legal and compliance professionals. They will examine the latest legislative efforts, including the U.S.’s GENIUS and CLARITY Acts, which define stringent requirements for stablecoin issuers, and the SEC’s stance on yield-bearing stablecoins. Additionally, they will discuss the global divergence in regulatory approaches, with the U.S. favoring private, dollar-backed stablecoins and Europe prioritizing CBDCs.

The session will provide a comprehensive overview of the current and future regulatory environment, highlighting the implications for compliance, operational strategies, and the broader financial ecosystem. Attendees will gain valuable insights into how these regulatory developments may shape the future of digital currencies and their impact on the payments industry.

The Payments Legal & Compliance Summit is designed for legal professionals in the industry and those overseeing risk or compliance within their organizations. The Summit offers an advanced-level education and will keep you up to date on the latest compliance and regulatory developments across all payment networks.
