At @SolanaConf, Joao Reginatto (@reginatto), CSO of M0, Raagulan Pathy (@raagulanpathy), Co-Founder of @KASTcard, and Anna Yuan (@gizmothegizzer), Founder of @Perena__, unpacked the new stablecoin wave and why building your own stablecoin isn’t just about slapping your logo on a dollar.

Key takeaways 👇

◼️ “The user just wants a dollar. A dollar is a dollar.” – Raags
Whether it’s on Ethereum, Solana, or some obscure L2, users don’t care. They don’t want to understand bridges, slippage, or tickers—they just want to send and receive dollars easily and instantly.

◼️ “We looked at many... and then we partnered with M0. My friend Joao became the obvious choice." – Raags
M0's platform stood out for its deep expertise, technical flexibility, and long-term vision. By builders, for builders.

◼️ “Stablecoins, to us, are infrastructure.” - Joao
Forget trying to outcompete USDC and USDT on listings. Joao reframes stablecoins as the substrate on which next-gen fintechs are built—global, programmable, composable.

◼️ “If you’re a good engineer, you’re probably not working at a bank.” – Joao
When asked if big banks will catch up or if we see Banks launching their own stables this year, Joao didn’t hold back. The inertia of legacy systems, compliance drag, and talent drain mean the edge belongs to crypto-native builders who can move faster, ship faster, and solve real problems now.
