Lecture Topics

(1) Digital Assets & Stablecoins: U.S. Dollar Hegemony and the Transformation of Global Financial Order

Stablecoins are emerging not merely as crypto assets, but as instruments for the digital expansion of the U.S. dollar and a new form of monetary and financial dominance. This session examines U.S. stablecoin policies and their implications, the U.S.–China digital currency competition, and the opportunities and limitations of Korean won-based stablecoins from economic and geopolitical perspectives.


(2) Payments in the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) Era: Stablecoins as Next-Generation Financial Infrastructure

As AI agents begin to negotiate and transact autonomously, the A2A (Agent-to-Agent) economy exposes the limitations of traditional payment systems in speed, cost, and automation. This session explores why stablecoins are becoming core payment infrastructure in the A2A era, and how AI, micropayments, and programmable money converge to create a new economic order.


(3) RWA (Real-World Assets): Tokenization and the Redesign of Finance

RWA enables real-world assets—such as real estate, bonds, IP, and commodities—to be traded on blockchain, fundamentally transforming financial structures. This session examines why RWA is expanding in combination with stablecoins, and how it redefines asset ownership, liquidity, and financial accessibility, supported by global case studies.
