Next-generation payments: Using stablecoins for near-instant, low-cost global transfers, including proxy payments. AI-driven risk, credit, compliance, and investment advice: Better decision-making, less fraud, broader access to capital, and access to quality financial advisors for everyone. Regulation supporting innovation: Moving from a one-size-fits-all approach to risk-based rules, encouraging innovation and competition rather than stifling it.
