A critical phase that determines the success of stablecoin integration through systematic engagement and clear governance frameworks.

🎯 Executive Overview

Before diving into technical implementation, securing robust stakeholder alignment is crucial. This phase focuses on systematically engaging all relevant parties, establishing clear governance structures, and ensuring regulatory compliance across jurisdictions. Success here will create the foundation for smooth implementation.

🗺️ A. Stakeholder Mapping & Analysis

Strategic Approach
