The Digital Sovereignty Alliance, or DSA, said it recently completed its participation in two industry events centered on stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and the changing structure of payments. The organization joined a PayCLT webinar on April 22 and appeared at The Programmable Economy: AI & Blockchain Redefining Markets conference on April 24 at Cornell Tech in New York.
PayCLT session examined stablecoins and tokenized deposits
At the PayCLT virtual fireside chat, DSA Managing Director Adrian Wall joined a discussion titled “Stablecoins & Tokenized Deposits: Moving from Proof of Concept to Utility.” The session was moderated by PayCLT Executive Director Dean Nolan and focused on how stablecoins and tokenized deposits are gaining a place in real-world payments infrastructure.
Wall said these models are being integrated into existing financial systems, with attention on settlement, liquidity, and regulatory design. He said policy is no longer simply reacting to innovation, but is helping determine what gets built, who can participate, and how these systems scale. He also said meaningful progress depends on how effectively decentralized finance and traditional finance are connected.
Cornell Tech panel focused on next-generation payments
The Cornell Tech conference was co-hosted by Cornell Blockchain, Blockchain Builders, Blockchain at Cornell Tech, and the Cornell Tech AI Society. The event brought together students, operators, and technologists to discuss the practical impact of AI, blockchain, finance, and government.
DSA Senior Policy Advisor Molly Woodman spoke on the “Next Gen Payments” panel with Andres Lamothe, Director of Partnerships at MoonPay; Jolie Kahn, CEO of AVAX One; and Sébastien Badault, VP of Metaverse/Web3 Strategy at Ledger. The session was moderated by Jeff Rundlet, CFA, Head of Accounting Strategy at Cryptio, and covered emerging trends across payments infrastructure and digital asset markets.
Woodman said stablecoins are already being used across wallets, payment rails, and settlement processes. She said the current focus is on how these systems connect with existing financial infrastructure while handling issues tied to interoperability, trust, and regulatory alignment.
DSA says policy work remains a priority
In the release, DSA said growing institutional attention on stablecoins, settlement efficiency, and programmable finance has made these discussions timely for the future of payments infrastructure. The group said it will continue its research, educational efforts, and policy work around decentralized technologies, blockchain, cryptocurrency, Web3, and artificial intelligence.
