Could the Next Currency Crisis Turn Stablecoins into Africa's Real Digital Currency?
I'm working on a piece asking whether the next currency crisis could turn stablecoins into Africa's real digital currency. As inflation and currency depreciation continue to pressure emerging markets, stablecoins like USDT and USDC are increasingly becoming a preferred store of value and payment method. The IMF has warned that rising stablecoin adoption could weaken monetary sovereignty, while countries such as Nigeria are seeing growing demand for dollar-backed digital assets. I'm looking to speak with experts in AI, digital finance, banking, and cryptocurrency to explore whether the next currency crisis could accelerate stablecoins from a niche crypto product into a de facto parallel currency, what this means for central banks and financial stability, and how AI could reshape the monitoring, regulation, and risk management of this rapidly expanding digital economy.
