Monerium CEO Gísli Kristjánsson at DappCon25

At DappCon25 in Berlin, Gísli Kristjánsson, CEO of Monerium, outlines the company’s journey to bringing regulated euro stablecoins on-chain and building payment infrastructure that connects traditional banking with decentralized finance.

In this talk, Gísli covers:

• Why most stablecoins don’t solve real-world payment needs
• Challenges in launching a euro-denominated stablecoin within EU regulation
• How Monerium’s IBAN-linked wallets bridge the gap between bank accounts and blockchain
• Lessons learned from scaling on-chain payments to over €4.7B in transaction volume
• Collaborations with Gnosis Pay, MetaMask, and emerging self-custodial wallets
• A look at the future of stablecoin settlements, DeFi liquidity, and on-chain FX

This behind-the-scenes perspective highlights the technical, regulatory, and strategic decisions behind building a compliant euro stablecoin designed for real-world use.
