Stablecoins are suddenly the hottest topic in global finance. From Wall Street giants like Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan, to governments in the U.S., Japan, and even China, everyone is rushing to get a piece of the digital dollar market. But what exactly are stablecoins, and why are they attracting so much attention?

In this episode of Down to Business English, Skip Montreux and Samantha Vega unpack the booming world of stablecoins. They explain what makes stablecoins different from cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, why new U.S. regulations (the GENIUS Act) have given them legitimacy, and how countries in Asia are dealing with them.

Skip and Samantha’s conversation will help you better understand digital finance and strengthen your business English vocabulary. Key points of their discussion include:

What stablecoins are, and how they maintain a steady value.
Why the U.S. GENIUS Act is a milestone for cryptocurrency regulation.
How major banks like Citi, JPMorgan, and Goldman Sachs are using stablecoins.
Why Japan, South Korea, and China are launching their own versions.
The risks that could come with rapid growth, including transparency issues and systemic risk.
