About this episode

Stablecoins were the main character in policy circles this year, and for good reason. Urszula McCormack, Andrew Whitworth , and Laura Navaratnam walk us through how 2025 played out across Hong Kong, the EU, UK, and Australia. From what got finalized, what’s still fuzzy, and what signals to watch in early 2026... it's the year-end reality check for anyone dealing with digital money, law, and regulation.
