About this Event

As stablecoins move from theory to real-world application, payments professionals, legal leaders, and fintech innovators are exploring the possibilities this new payment rail holds.

If you’re interested in how digital assets may shape the future of payments—practically, competitively, and from a legal and regulatory perspective—this conversation is for you.

Join the Chicago Payments Forum on March 16 from 5:00–7:30 pm for networking and an in-depth discussion on stablecoins.

Host and moderator Matt Luzadder, Chicago Office Managing Partner with Kelly, Drye & Warren LLP, and a member of Nacha’s Payment Innovations Alliance, will welcome the group and provide a legal update on the current state of stablecoin regulation.

Peter Tapling, Managing Director of PTap Advisory and a member of NACHA’s Conference Planning Committee, will discuss stablecoin planning and adoption by traditional payments providers and banks.

Sophia Roman, who leads partnerships and venture initiatives at Aleo, will cover zero-knowledge security and privacy in digital payments. Aleo is building a blockchain specifically designed for payments.

Dan Lev, CEO and cofounder of Coinflow, will share insights on the competitive dynamics shaping stablecoin payments and markets. Coinflow recently announced a $25 million Series A funding round, underscoring growing momentum in the space.

If you’re already using stablecoins or just crypto-curious, this program offers timely insight and meaningful dialogue.
