[Stable Summit 🦫 @stable_summit]

In 2008, the repo market broke at the worst possible moment. As confidence in collateral and counterparties fell, dollar funding stopped rolling and liquidity disappeared fast.

Our latest Stable School article explores how stablecoins could have changed that.

• How repo created dollar liquidity
• Where the system was fragile
• How atomic settlement removes intraday risk
• Why 24/7 rails reduce funding pressure

Stablecoins wouldn’t fix bad assets, but they could have slowed how the freeze spread 👇

Thank you, Buenos Aires.
And thank you to everyone who made DeFiConnect what it was.

2 days, 5 summits, 180+ speakers, 4000+ registrations, workshops, meetups, co-work, debates, and a venue full of people who actually care about building DeFi.

Huge appreciation to everyone involved across Stable Summit | @stable_summit, Vault Summit | @vault__summit, Oracle Summit | @OracleSummit, Universal Staking Day, and the Privacy & Compliance Summit. The feedback we heard again and again: having every core piece of DeFi in one place just works. Different tracks, different speeds, but the same community, and it showed.

Thank you to every speaker, partner, and team who helped shape the content.
Thank you to the builders, researchers, founders, auditors, investors, operators, and students who showed up, asked questions, and showed up ready to engage all the way through.
And thank you to everyone who told us this format finally felt “harmonious” - that means a lot.

We’ll share more soon.
For now, here’s the recap ❤️‍🔥
