From Concept to Reality: Stablecoins in Focus

The conversation around cross-border payments is shifting, with stablecoins moving from concept to real-world application. At Finticipate 2026, the focus turns to fiat-backed models and their potential to combine the trust of traditional currencies with the efficiency of blockchain infrastructure.
As part of Fireside Chat #3: Spotlight on Cross-Border Payments and Stablecoins, the topic is brought closer to practice through a perspective grounded in real-world experience. After several years at Raiffeisen Bank International in Group Strategy, where he focused on emerging technologies and led initiatives on CBDCs and new forms of money, Vid Hribar went on to spearhead the development of Qivalis – a EUR stablecoin issuer owned by European banks. Today, as Head of Institutional Partnerships, he offers a clear view of how these developments are taking shape in practice.
What does this shift actually look like in practice, and how might it redefine cross-border transactions as we know them?
