Hubert de Vauplane

Hubert de Vauplane is a partner at Morgan Lewis. He is newsworthy due to his expertise and commentary on the strategic importance of stablecoins, particularly in the context of European sovereignty. Recent articles highlight his perspective on the dominance of dollar-denominated stablecoins (99.5% of the total) and the potential risks this poses to Europe's financial independence. He argues that Europe needs to develop its own Euro-denominated stablecoins to avoid over-reliance on non-European issuers. This viewpoint is relevant in the ongoing debate surrounding digital currencies, the Euro digital currency, and the broader geopolitical implications of financial technology. His comments contribute to the discussion about the future of digital finance and Europe's role in it.
