Safeheron Shares Insights on New Stablecoin Opportunities at BlockSec’s Exclusive PayFi Roundtable

Safeheron was recently honored to be an invited guest at the “PayFi Industry Roundtable,” an exclusive event hosted by the renowned security firm BlockSec. The event brought together leading experts and representatives from the payment and fintech sectors to explore payment compliance, the integration of Web3, and the future trajectory of the industry. We were delighted to have the opportunity for such a deep and candid exchange with our industry peers.

During the event, Safeheron’s Partner and VP of Technology, Kane, was invited to deliver a keynote speech, sharing our insights on current market trends and strategic thinking on the burgeoning stablecoin sector.

The Evolving Web3 Narrative: From Next-Gen Internet to Next-Gen Financial Infrastructure

Our VP of Technology, Kane, highlighted a profound shift in the core narrative of Web3. Having navigated the fervor of DeFi Summer, the collapse of institutions like FTX, and various market volatilities, the industry is gradually moving from the grand vision of a “decentralized internet based on blockchains, decentralization, and data autonomy” to a more tangible reality: a “next-generation financial infrastructure based on blockchain, multi-centralization, and stablecoins”.

This evolution is fueled by two monumental trends: AI and stablecoins. With regulatory frameworks for stablecoins advancing in Hong Kong and the United States, and giants like JD.com making high-profile entries, the stablecoin arena is attracting unprecedented attention and capital. We predict that within the next five years, the global fintech market, currently valued at approximately $2 trillion, will see the emergence of ten companies with a valuation of $100 billion, driven by stablecoin innovation.

The Restructured Stablecoin Industry Chain and Safeheron’s Role

So, how can fintech and payment companies seize this historic opportunity?

Stablecoins are fundamentally restructuring financial infrastructure. In traditional finance, central banks, commercial banks, and settlement networks form a three-tiered pyramid. In the digital currency realm, stablecoin issuers form the base layer, and financial payment applications form the top layer, with blockchain technology inherently handling clearing and settlement.

However, this creates a new, critical pain point: For application layer, the primary concern is no longer performance (TPS) or price volatility, but rather asset security, risk management, and regulatory compliance.

This very pain point has given rise to a new essential middle layer: self-custody settlement service platforms, exemplified by Safeheron.

Safeheron is positioned to be the “cloud service provider” for crypto applications, much like AWS is for internet applications. Our mission is to make using crypto accounts as secure, reliable, and straightforward as using a traditional bank account. We operate as a pure-play technology provider, focusing on delivering one-stop solutions and expert, consultative support to empower our clients’ success, rather than competing in their business domains.

Open-Source, Secure, and Trusted: Safeheron’s Commitment and Strength

Trust is built on capability and transparency. At Safeheron, we believe the most secure software is open-source. We invest over $2 million annually in R&D and security, and have open-sourced our core MPC algorithms and TEE trusted computing capabilities, which represent over five years of our team’s dedicated work. Our open-source TEE framework has even been officially recognized and recommended by Intel on its website as a best practice.

Since 2022, Safeheron has served over 150 institutional clients, with our platform processing more than $15 billion in monthly transaction volume. Our client base is centered in Hong Kong and Singapore, radiating across Asia, and has expanded organically through word-of-mouth to include clients from Israel, Europe, and the Americas.

Building a Secure and Compliant Payment Ecosystem Together

Once again, we extend our sincere thanks to BlockSec for the invitation and to all participants for their insightful contributions. This roundtable was more than a meeting of minds; it was a collaborative exploration of our industry’s future. Safeheron looks forward to continuing deep engagement and cooperation with our peers to jointly contribute to building a secure, compliant, and efficient global payment ecosystem.
