• Monitor adoption of stablecoins by card networks, PSPs, banks, and cross-border/real-time settlement platforms

• Track digital asset regulatory and policy developments (US, EU, APAC) and maintain a jurisdictional risk tracker

• Deliver executive-ready intelligence outputs (impact summaries, escalation memos, and scorecards) tied to defined early-warning triggers
