We've rounded up a list of the most relevant research in emerging tech. While the full list is more rounded out, here is my top picks relating to cryptos, CBDCs, and stablecoins. European banks have begun to dominate research, as they struggle to keep up with the innovations sweeping the financial sector. But, while they do this, there have been contradictory statements made on the role of private stablecoins and their safety for the European market.

What role do you think private stablecoins should play? None at all, an accessory role to traditional fiats or CBDCs, or that they should push government-issued money out of the market?
