Last week, Bitwave proudly co-hosted The Stablecoin Payments House, a exclusive event in the heart of Toronto focused on driving the enterprise and real-world adoption of stablecoins.
Held alongside Consensus 2025, The Stablecoin Payments House brought together fintech founders, CFOs, and forward-thinking finance leaders for deep-dive discussions, meaningful connections... and a few good drinks.
The event featured a three-part programming segment with some all-star industry leaders:
- Jack McDonald (SVP Stablecoins, Ripple)
- Howard Wu (Founder, Aleo & CEO, Provable)
- Pat White (CEO, Bitwave).
We’re thrilled to share recordings of all three featured sessions so you can revisit the highlights or catch up on what you missed.
Session #1: Onchain Privacy & Programmable Finance with Aleo
Featured Presentation by Howard Wu, Founder of Aleo and Provable
Howard Wu kicked off the event with a powerful talk on why privacy is the missing piece in stablecoin adoption. He highlighted that despite $27 trillion in stablecoin payments last year, hardly any of it was encrypted. And that needs to change – and how his privacy-first L1 blockchain, Aleo, is built for private, programmable smart contracts.
Howard shared how tools like view keys, verifiable credentials (with Aleo’s ZPass), and customizable compliance rules can make privacy and regulation work together.
His message was clear: if we want crypto to support real-world payments, privacy isn’t optional. I’s essential. Aleo is laser-focused on making that a reality.
Session #2: Unlocking Enterprise Adoption with Bitwave
Featured Presentation by Pat White, CEO & Co-Founder of Bitwave
Pat White shook up the event by announcing the return of Bitwave’s flagship event: the 4th annual Enterprise Digital Asset Summit (EDAS). For the first time ever, EDAS is coming to San Francisco, taking place on October 8th at the iconic St. Francis Yacht Club.
