On June 15, the China Wealth Management 50 Forum (CWM50) held a symposium on "Rapid Development of Stablecoins: Potential and Challenges", and Xiao Feng, vice chairman of Wanxiang Holdings, attended and made a special speech.
Xiao Feng stated that stablecoins represent a new stage in the evolution of currency, which can be referred to as "tokenized currency." Based on distributed ledger technology, it enables peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries to align information. Since the emergence of distributed ledger technology, there has been a significant change in financial market infrastructure. The advent of stablecoins also signifies the emergence of the digital twin trend, which involves bringing real-world assets onto the blockchain for tokenization. Asset tokenization has implications for enhancing the global liquidity of assets, introducing new clearing and settlement models, programmability, and addressing the future AGI era.
From the perspective of the functions of currency, stablecoins have functions such as payment and settlement, serving as a highly transferable currency across time and space. They address the "last mile" problem of inclusive finance, particularly for cross-border transactions.
