Jack Zhang, co-founder of Airwallex, reiterates his views on stablecoins, emphasizing their role in building a “currency ecosystem” for the Internet. According to a report, Zhang highlights the distribution capabilities of platforms like Stripe, Revolut, and Airwallex as essential.
Zhang suggests that regulatory clarity remains a challenge. He believes stablecoins are not a technological innovation but necessitate effective distribution mechanisms. This stance diverges from other fintech firms offering stablecoin accounts to businesses. “Ultimately, if you are regulated in one jurisdiction and you wanted to send a stablecoin to another jurisdiction, where you are not regulated, I think there’s still a lot of regulatory risk doing that. That’s why we have hesitation launching a stable product. We’d rather get more regulatory clarity before we go deep into it.” – Jack Zhang, CEO, Airwallex.
