In this interview recorded at Unblock in Riga, Magnus Jones offers a clear and grounded perspective on where blockchain is actually making an impact today. He challenges the need for a digital euro, arguing that stablecoins are already solving real problems in global settlements and business operations.
Drawing from his experience in both the private and public sectors, Magnus shares practical examples like the integration of stablecoin payments into SAP systems, which allow for instant invoice settlements and accounting without requiring users to understand the underlying blockchain technology.
Representing the Nordic Blockchain Association, he also presents new data on crypto adoption in the Baltics and explains why Latvia is emerging as a forward-thinking jurisdiction for digital finance. This conversation moves beyond crypto speculation to focus on blockchain as infrastructure, regulation in practice, and the shift from hype to implementation.
