Stablecoins are emerging as transformative tools in global financial systems, offering faster settlements and reduced costs. However, before widespread adoption, the technology faces regulatory, infrastructure, and institutional challenges. That was the consensus among speakers at the <a href="https://benzinga.swoogo.com/digital-assets/agenda-2024">Benzinga Future of Digital Assets </a>conference, where panelists examined the factors shaping stablecoin adoption and tokenized assets.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Efficiency In Payments And Settlements</h3>
Colin Butler, global head of institutional capital at Polygon Labs, highlighted how stablecoins could reshape traditional payment systems by reducing settlement delays. "What if you could rewire the global settlement system on yield-bearing institutional stablecoins and use them as settlement tokens?" Butler said. He explained that these tools could generate returns during settlement periods, addressing inefficiencies inherent in traditional systems.

Butler referenced BlackRock's move to tokenize its money market fund across five blockchains as a sign of growing institutional interest. "These products are being built right now," he added, predicting wider integration of tokenized solutions into existing financial systems.
Andrew Czupek, Northern Trust&#8217;s America&#8216;s head of digital assets and financial markets innovation, emphasized that stablecoins could solve major inefficiencies, but only if traditional financial infrastructure aligns with blockchain solutions. "You can't just replace existing systems overnight," he said, calling for careful integration between legacy networks and new technologies.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bridging Regulatory Uncertainty</h3>
The conversation shifted to regulation, a recurring challenge slowing stablecoin adoption. AlphaPoint&#8216;s general counsel, Reba Beeson, emphasized the need for ongoing collaboration with regulators to establish trust. "Collaboration with regulators is very important," Beeson said, adding that the focus must be on security, scalability, and meeting risk management standards for end users.
Andrew Murphy, head of legal at Talos, echoed Beeson's stance, stressing that regulators must understand blockchain's full potential to avoid restrictive measures. "You run the risk, especially if the regulators don't understand what the technology can do, of over-regulating and taking away some of the benefits," Murphy explained. He suggested expanding custody rules to allow more entities, including self-custody, to facilitate stablecoin use at scale.
Murphy also pointed out the inefficiencies of current systems, recalling an experience where delayed bond settlement led to $75 million in misplaced funds. "The lag between trade and settlement creates many problems," he said, noting that blockchain can reduce such risks by enabling near-instant finality.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Institutional Hesitation And Retail Success</h3>
While retail adoption of stablecoins has surged, institutions remain cautious. Czupek described stablecoins as "an interesting product" with potential for institutions but acknowledged concerns about volatility during market disruptions. He questioned how tokenized cash will move seamlessly between financial institutions and whether networks can interconnect efficiently.
"There's still going to be a delay when you bridge one network to another," Czupek said, emphasizing the need to address these gaps for stablecoins to achieve institutional trust.
Murphy argued that institutional adoption would require a major participant—a "whale"—to lead the way, forcing counterparties onto tokenized systems. "You need someone to drag everyone else along," he said.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Path Forward For Stablecoins</h3>
Panelists agreed that stablecoins can potentially transform settlement systems and global payments. However, the industry must resolve regulatory gaps and infrastructure inefficiencies to accelerate adoption. Butler described the technology as "a massive disruption" waiting to reshape financial processes, while Beeson underscored the importance of balancing compliance and technological progress.
With regulatory clarity and gradual institutional adoption, panelists concluded that stablecoins could become a driving force in modernizing financial markets worldwide.

'Near-Instant Finality': Are Stablecoins Ready To Fix Settlement Inefficiencies?

Murder suspect Luigi Mangione faces extradition to New York after his arrest in connection with the death of UnitedHealthcare&#8216;s CEO. After <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/12/42423214/luigi-mangione-fights-extradition-to-new-york-on-murder-charge-shouts-at-press-outside-courthouse">previously fighting</a> a transfer back to New York, he is expected to waive his extradition Thursday.
What Happened: Mangione, who was recently<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/12/42541669/luigi-mangione-indicted-on-first-degree-murder-charges-in-unitedhealthcare-ceos-death-senseless-act-of-violence"> charged with murder</a> in the first degree, will appear in court Thursday in the state of Pennsylvania.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/12/42316904/unitedhealthcare-ceo-brian-thompson-fatally-shot-outside-nyc-hotel">Charged with killing </a>UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, Mangione is expected to waive extradition to New York, according to his attorney, ABC News <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/unitedhealthcare-ceo-killing-latest-mangione-expected-court-extradition/story?id=116936089">reported</a>.
On Thursday, a Pennsylvania judge will be asked to accept the extradition waiver or move forward with a hearing on Mangione's charges in the state, which center on weapons, including the ghost gun found when he was arrested at an Altoona, Pennsylvania McDonald&#8217;s. 
If the judge agrees to the extradition, Mangione would be transported back to the state of New York by the New York Police Department. The murder suspect could be arraigned in New York as early as Thursday.
Mangione faces 11 counts in the state of New York including a murder in the first degree charge that carries a sentence of up to life in prison without parole if convicted and two charges of murder in the second degree, including one charge related to terrorism.
The indictment is &#8220;for the brazen, targeted and premeditated shooting of Brian Thompson,&#8221; Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said recently after reading off the charges.
Law enforcement said Mangione could also face federal charges in New York, which could lead to him being eligible for the death penalty if found guilty.
Mangione's lawyer Karen Friedman Agnifilo said they are ready to fight the charges in a statement reported by ABC news.
"The federal government's reported decision to pile on top of an already overcharged first-degree murder and state terror case is highly unusual and raises serious constitutional and statutory double jeopardy concerns," Agnifilo said.

Outside the Pennsylvania courthouse are supporters with signs with words like "Free Luigi," "Murder for Profit is Terrorism" and "Deny, Defend, Depose."
Mangione&#8217;s arrest at a Pennsylvania&nbsp;McDonald&#8217;s&nbsp;triggered a rise&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants/24/12/42427146/pennsylvania-mcdonalds-where-unitedhealthcare-ceo-murder-suspect-arrested-gets-review-bombed-more-like-narc-donalds" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">in negative reviews</a>&nbsp;for the location, accusing the restaurant employees and patrons of being snitches.
Public sympathy for Mangione can be found on social media. On a&nbsp;Joe Rogan&nbsp;podcast episode,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/12/42473433/joe-rogan-on-public-sympathy-for-unitedhealthcare-ceo-murder-suspect-health-insurance-a-dirty-dirty-business" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;the host</a>&nbsp;said the health insurance sector is a &#8220;dirty business.&#8221;
Rogan suggested UnitedHealthcare&#8217;s alleged high claim denial rate may have been a reason why the public is not showing sympathy for Thompson.
A manifesto document found on Mangione reportedly contained comments about health insurance companies focusing on profits and greed over public health.
Benzinga recently reported there are at least three documentaries in the works on the life of Mangione and the health insurance industry. ABC, which is a unit of The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>), is airing a special edition of "20/20" at 10 p.m. ET Thursday. The episode will look at the death of Thompson, the search for Mangione and more on the suspected killer's life.
UNH Price Action: UnitedHealth stock trades at $503.91 in premarket trading Thursday versus a 52-week trading range of $436.38 to $630.73. The stock is down 13% over the last month and down 7% year-to-date in 2024.

<h3>The Importance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Investors should view insider transactions as part of a multifaceted analysis and not rely solely on them for decision-making.
Considering the legal perspective, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, according to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Pointing towards optimism, a company insider's new purchase signals their positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
Nevertheless, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be influenced by various factors.
