Why Stablecoin Adoption Needs a Stronger Infrastructure
Neura’s CEO explains what’s driving stablecoin adoption and why better infrastructure is critical for global reliability.
- Demand for stablecoins is growing globally.
- Infrastructure gaps limit long-term scalability.
- A sovereign stack may be the solution.
Stablecoins have become a central pillar in the digital currency landscape, especially in emerging markets and volatile economies. According to Arsalan Evini, CEO of Neura, this surge in adoption is no accident. Users are increasingly drawn to stablecoins for their ability to hold value, avoid inflation, and move funds easily across borders without relying on traditional banking systems.
The appeal lies in their stability — typically pegged to fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar — which offers predictability in an otherwise volatile crypto market. But as usage rises, the pressure on supporting systems also intensifies.
Current Infrastructure Can’t Keep Up
Despite their growing popularity, Evini points out that the infrastructure supporting stablecoins is not designed for global scale. Issues like latency, network congestion, and fragmentation across platforms pose significant risks. Traditional blockchain networks were not originally built to support such high-volume, low-latency applications, especially at a global level.
This makes it hard to rely on stablecoins for daily transactions, cross-border payments, or financial inclusion projects. Without improvements, stablecoin systems may buckle under pressure, limiting their long-term potential.
A Sovereign, Purpose-Built Stack Could Be the Answer
To address these challenges, Evini suggests a sovereign, purpose-built technology stack designed specifically for stablecoin operations. This stack would integrate layers of compliance, security, and scalability while remaining adaptable to regional and global regulatory demands.
A sovereign stack would remove dependency on existing infrastructure that may not align with stablecoin goals. It could also improve user confidence, streamline transactions, and support broader use cases like remittances, micro-payments, and programmable finance.
