On September 4, 2025, Taipei Blockchain Week (TBW) grandly opened at the Songshan Cultural and Creative Park in Taipei. This year's conference, themed "Onboard AI," focuses on the deep integration of blockchain and artificial intelligence, attracting over 200 industry leaders, innovators, and investors from around the world to discuss the cutting-edge trends of Web3 and AI. As one of the most influential blockchain events in Asia, TBW collaborates with the Asia FinTech Alliance and the Taiwan Blockchain Summit to create a series of activities covering regulations, innovation, and community, solidifying Taiwan's hub position in the global blockchain innovation ecosystem.
As a gold sponsor of the conference, the decentralized trading platform MyStonks, which offers tokenized U.S. stocks, fully supports the event and promotes industry exchange and cooperation through various forms. MyStonks CMO Keaton Hu was invited to attend the roundtable forum titled "Building the Key Puzzle for Blockchain Payments: Opportunities and Challenges of Stablecoins," where he shared insightful views on the applications and future directions of stablecoins.
Keaton Hu stated that stablecoins are becoming a core force driving innovation in on-chain asset trading. Their "low-friction" characteristics significantly lower the barriers for cross-asset and cross-scenario transactions, allowing on-chain businesses to grow rapidly. He shared that since its launch, the MyStonks platform achieved a peak daily trading volume of over $200 million in just five months, with the growth of stablecoins playing a decisive role.
In terms of practical applications, Keaton Hu particularly emphasized the groundbreaking value of stablecoins in on-chain U.S. stock trading. Unlike traditional brokers, which often charge high costs of around 1% for multi-currency exchanges, on-chain trading using stablecoins like USDT and USDC incurs almost zero friction, significantly reducing costs. He noted that stablecoins not only enhance efficiency but also enable global investors to participate equally in U.S. stocks, U.S. bonds, and leading stocks from various countries, truly realizing "global asset on-chain." It is worth noting that since Circle's IPO, industry confidence has significantly increased, leading to explosive growth in on-chain U.S. stock trading, with MyStonks platform's trading volume increasing approximately 100 times, fully demonstrating the transformative value of stablecoins in traditional investment scenarios.
Regarding market observations, Keaton Hu believes that while mainstream stablecoins currently dominate, price discrepancies and cross-chain exchange frictions remain urgent pain points that need to be addressed. At the same time, vertical scenario stablecoins possess unique potential, such as cross-border trade settlement stablecoins or innovative stablecoins with "holding interest" features, which will form differentiated competitive advantages in the future. He further called for the market to need "stablecoins of stablecoins" or 1:1 exchange agreements to act as a bridge, fundamentally solving the exchange friction problem.
Keaton Hu emphasized that the coexistence of "multiple stablecoins on-chain" is not a flaw but an inevitability of a decentralized ecosystem. Just as multiple banks in Hong Kong can issue 1:1 Hong Kong dollars, different stablecoins will play their respective values in different scenarios, providing users with more diverse choices. This is not only an inevitable trend in the development of stablecoins but also an important manifestation of the maturity of the on-chain ecosystem.
