The significance lies in the fact that despite the increasing involvement of institutions, cryptocurrency still faces a branding issue, notes Stellar's CMO, Jason Karsh. Stellar aims to be at the forefront of tokenization and cross-border payments as institutions become more involved in crypto. A key trend is the rise of stablecoins as a gateway to crypto, but effective messaging remains a challenge.
Karsh is promoting a significant departure from the traditional short-term, hype-based approach to crypto marketing. The next phase of adoption is likely to be driven by infrastructure development rather than speculation.
