Stablecoins and Tokenized Deposits Fundamentals

Stablecoins and tokenized deposits are rapidly emerging areas of the digital asset landscape.  Developments in regulation, technology, and financial services are creating new questions for community banks. This 90-minute educational webinar will provide a practical foundation for understanding these evolving technologies and their potential relevance to community banking.

Alston & Bird LLP attorneys Barry Hester and Alaina Gimbert will walk through blockchain fundamentals, key types of crypto assets, the current U.S. regulatory landscape—including the GENIUS Act and CLARITY Act—and current market uses of stablecoins and tokenized deposits. The discussion will also highlight key compliance considerations and what community banks should be watching over the next 12 to 24 months.

Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of the terminology, regulatory developments, market activity, and practical questions they can use when evaluating digital asset developments, engaging with customers and partners, and discussing potential implications within their institutions.

Who Should Attend:
This webinar is designed for community banking professionals who want to build a foundational understanding of stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and their potential implications for the banking industry. No prior knowledge of blockchain or digital assets is required. The program is designed for bankers who want to understand the fundamentals, stay informed on regulatory and market developments, and be prepared for conversations about what these technologies could mean for their institutions.
