The Central Bank of Slovenia held an event titled “Stablecoins and their impact on financial stability”, bringing together public and private sector stakeholders to discuss how stablecoins may affect users, financial institutions and businesses. The programme also covered regulatory frameworks, security issues and practical examples of stablecoin use in the context of a rapidly developing fintech environment. The central bank framed the discussion against wider innovation in payments and digital finance, including tokenised central bank money, tokenised deposits and private cryptoassets such as stablecoins, highlighting that these developments raise questions for financial stability, consumer protection and market integrity. The event included welcoming remarks from Primož Dolenc, a technical presentation on the basic attributes of stablecoins by payment systems specialist Domen Božeglav, and a roundtable chaired by vice-governor Marko Pahor with participants from the Ministry of Finance, the Securities Market Agency, academia and the Blockchain Think Tank Slovenia.
