In this episode of ATP recorded at SFF 2025, Effie Dimitropoulos, the CEO of AUDD Stablecoin, notes that programmable money is not a sudden disruption but the next step in a long evolution of how value moves in the digital world.
Some of the topics that Effie covered in detail:
- Programmable money can attach rules and logic as to where, how and when money can be used.
- Our comfort with digital money did not just appear. It was earned over time, largely through the rise of the smartphone and everyday digital behaviors.
- Australia’s economic ties to Asia are deep and complex. Yet the money behind those flows is often routed through a slow, expensive, opaque infrastructure.
- Tokenization and stablecoins are two sides of the same digital coin.
- No conversation about stablecoins is complete without talking about regulation. Regulation is not a drag; it’s the precondition for trust at scale.
