Recent regulatory developments have brought new urgency to conversations around stablecoins. With the passage of the GENIUS Act, banks now have greater clarity around how they can participate in digital money. But as many financial institutions begin evaluating stablecoin strategies, they’re discovering that regulation is only part of the equation. The bigger question is whether their payments infrastructure is prepared to support what’s next.
During the American Banker Leaders episode, Preparing for Stablecoins: A CEO Perspective, Janet King, SVP of Content Strategy at American Banker, spoke with Manish Gurukula, CEO of Alacriti, about how financial institutions should approach payments modernization in the era of digital money. Rather than focusing solely on stablecoins themselves, the conversation explored the infrastructure, operational changes, and strategic decisions banks should be making today to prepare for tomorrow.
