About this session
Digital money may be ready for take-off, but is the financial ecosystem ready to support it safely?
Moving from pilots to large-scale deployment takes more than working technology. New digital money systems must connect with existing payment and banking infrastructure, meet regulatory requirements and maintain trust without compromising financial stability.
This session will explore the risks and decisions involved in that transition:
- Connecting systems: How can emerging technologies work together and integrate with existing infrastructure?
- Maintaining stability and compliance: How can institutions modernise while meeting regulatory requirements and protecting financial and payment systems?
- Encouraging participation: What roles should stakeholders play, and what incentives will support lasting adoption?
- Protecting digital money: How can institutions address cyber risks, including threats from advances in quantum computing?
Attendees will gain practical perspectives on the safeguards, coordination and strategic choices needed to move digital money from pilot projects to wider deployment.
