Fragmented digital asset regulation remains one of the largest barriers to institutional adoption. With regions progressing at different speeds – from MiCA in Europe to varied stablecoin policies in Asia-Pacific and the Americas – global firms face rising compliance complexity. This session examines how regulators and industry bodies are working across jurisdictions to reduce fragmentation, enhance market confidence and support interoperability across digital asset platforms. Experts will explore how standardised frameworks, transparency rules and shared taxonomy can accelerate adoption, providing a clear view of where global alignment is emerging and what gaps remain before digital assets can scale.

Intelligent money, enabled by stablecoins, tokenised deposits and wholesale CBDCs, is beginning to reshape B2B payments as the industry moves from experimentation to real world deployment. Financial institutions and corporates are exploring how intelligent money can transform cross border payments, settlement, liquidity management and treasury operations.

Yet critical questions remain. Which use cases are commercially viable today? What barriers still limit broader adoption? And who will shape the economics, client relationships and standards underpinning the next generation of payment instruments?

This panel brings together leaders from banking, corporates and technology partners to discuss where intelligent money is already delivering value, where expectations may still be ahead of reality and what banks must do to move from pilots to scalable execution.

Attendees will gain practical perspectives on the strategic and commercial decisions shaping the future of intelligent money in B2B payments.

As digital assets proliferate, the industry faces a core question: Will settlement converge on one trusted asset or diversify across multiple forms of money? With interest growing in central bank digital currencies, tokenised deposits and regulated stablecoins, global markets must prepare for multi‑asset settlement environments. This session examines trade‑offs in liquidity, risk and interoperability, drawing on insights from regulators, FMIs, and global interoperability trials. Panelists will outline what a multi‑asset settlement world means for capital markets, and how institutions can prepare for coexisting digital and traditional settlement rails.

Tokenization is front of mind for financial services executives as they look for future growth and efficiency gains. But the size and speed of new value streams remain uncertain – as are the use cases that will generate them. In this session, leading players will share their insights on where they’re seeing traction now and where they think value will be created in the medium and longer term. What lessons do the growth of stablecoins, tokenized treasuries and tokenized funds offer around achieving product-market fit? And what are the prospects for unlocking potentially transformative use cases such as tokenizing private market assets?

Cross-border payments have long rested on three foundational pillars: a triangle of messaging, correspondent banking, and FX infrastructure. Together, they power trillions in global commerce.

Now, a new wave of innovation is challenging how value moves across borders. Stablecoins and tokenized deposits introduce alternative liquidity, clearing and settlement models. New payment rails are emerging alongside - and connecting into - traditional banking networks. Agentic payments are reshaping how instructions are created, authorized, and executed. And new identity, compliance, and trust layers are being built for an increasingly programmable financial ecosystem.

How much of this is genuine infrastructure change and how much is new use cases layered on top of existing foundations? Are we replacing the cross-border payments stack, or extending it?

This panel brings together leading players to debate which layers of the stack are truly being disrupted, which remain indispensable, and what the future architecture of global money movement looks like.
