The cryptocurrency industry is advancing towards greater stability and transparency as institutional maturity increases. EY's Paul Brody emphasized the role of tools like the Nightfall protocol in enhancing privacy to align with enterprise standards. Meanwhile, Tether co-founder Reeve Collins introduced 'Stablecoin 2.0,' focusing on transparency and shared ownership. Charles d’Haussy from the dYdX Foundation observed a shift among institutional investors towards analyzing business models rather than engaging in speculation. This trend indicates a growing convergence between traditional finance and the crypto sector, driven by clearer regulatory frameworks.
