EverPoint Panel Recap: “The Future of Finance: CBDC and Stablecoin Trends in Local Currencies.” • Financial sovereignty moves to the forefront. Since 2022, central banks have realized that their foreign reserves can be frozen and their access to the global financial system restricted. This has increased demand for domestic payment infrastructures and independence from foreign regulators. • Trend toward deglobalization. Nations are building autonomous payment rails and switching to settlements in their own currencies for cross‑border trade. • Seamless user experience. When making QR payments, users cannot distinguish whether they’re using a stablecoin, CBDC, or traditional banking technology. • Targeted spending control. CBDCs enable governments to directly monitor the use of budgetary funds (such as social payments), enhancing transparency and reducing risks of misuse. The panel highlighted: the global trend toward financial multipolarity is intensifying, with local stablecoins and CBDCs seen as keys to national sovereignty and competitiveness.
