Why Samsung Waited Until Now on Crypto | Vibhu Norby, Chief Product Officer at the Solana Foundation

Vibhu Norby on why Samsung waited until now to put stablecoins in its wallet, and why it won't be the last:

"I think a lot of this is driven by... the catalyst of the Genius Act.

The Genius Act basically made stablecoins okay. It made every TradFi institution in the world start to figure out and think about how they were going to adopt stablecoins...

And that process, that starts at the Genius Act eight months ago, it just takes time, right?

So I think Samsung's the first big domino to fall, but we're going to see a lot of dominoes topple in the TradFi stack around the US dollar.

It's just a matter of time."
