Hi stable subscribers,

🕮 Has anyone come across a great 'compendium of stablecoin knowledge'? I'm looking for something like a comprehensive guide that bank execs, regulators, consultants, fintech founders, etc. could pick up and read in order to gain a high-level understanding of the key players, product considerations, and dynamics in the space.
