$33T.

That is the scale behind the stablecoin infrastructure story.

[MiCA Crypto Alliance @MiCA_Alliance]

🇪🇸 The MiCA Crypto Alliance was at #EBC12 in Barcelona, where Juan Ignacio Ibañez, Executive Director of the Alliance, moderated a panel on stablecoins as financial infrastructure.

Juan was joined by Simon Seiter of AllUnity, Benoît Courtois of Unicaja, John Hallahan of Fireblocks and Hugo Horton of Sokin. The panel traced the stablecoin value chain from issuance to distribution, discussed where stablecoins genuinely outperform other payment and settlement alternatives versus where the technology has yet to deliver, and looked specifically at the harder case of non-USD stablecoins.

Aaron Evencio Sanchez Sanchez, our Director of Industry Engagement, spoke on a separate panel alongside BBVA, Deutsche Bank, STBL and Qivalis, examining whether stablecoin rails actually reduce the cost and delay of cross-border payments, or simply relocate the same FX friction on-chain.

Across the two days, the wider conversation moved from proving blockchain's potential to identifying where it creates measurable value, whether in collateral mobilisation, institutional portfolio allocation, or always-on settlement.

Thank you to EBC12's organisers, Victoria Gago and Daniel Salmerón, and to everyone we connected with in Barcelona.

[AllUnity @AllUnityStable]

@AllUnityStable CFO @simonlseiter joined the @EBlockchainCon 2026 in Barcelona 🇪🇸

@J_Hall__ (Business Solutions Director at @FireblocksHQ )
Hugo Horton (Head of Partnerships at @SokinGlobal )
Juan IgnacioI bañez (Executive Director, @MiCA_Alliance)

Together they discussed what is required to operate regulated e-money tokens at institutional scale. It starts with real-world utility. Stablecoins will break out of the crypto bubble when they make payments and financing faster, simpler and more efficient for businesses and people.

Digital twins may be an important bridge for institutional blockchain adoption, but native on-chain securities are the endgame.

At EBC12, Friederike Sofie Burckhardt, Head of Digital Assets in Capital Markets at LBBW discusses ECB trials, wholesale CBDC settlement, on-chain securities and why running parallel legacy and blockchain rails cannot be the long-term solution.

She also explores how AI and blockchain could converge in financial markets.
