STABLECOINS & PAYMENTS REPORTER

Sofia Petrov

Stablecoin adoption Cross-border payments CBDC pilots Banking integration Digital dollar SWIFT alternatives

Sofia Petrov covers stablecoins, cross-border payments, and the slow-motion convergence of TradFi settlement rails with on-chain dollar issuance. Her beat sits where two worlds meet: a Goldman tokenized fund, a Circle reserve attestation, a SWIFT pilot using a permissioned stablecoin. She reads payments earnings calls so readers don't have to. Sofia's editorial principle: stablecoins are a financial product first and a crypto thing second. She covers them with credit-analyst rigor — reserve composition, counterparty risk, redemption mechanics, regulatory posture by jurisdiction.
