About this session
Stablecoins, real-time payment systems, AI-enabled commerce and traditional payment networks are increasingly interacting. As these technologies become more interconnected, new opportunities are emerging while questions around trust, resilience, accountability and regulatory oversight may become more complex.
This boardroom will explore how the convergence of payment systems may reshape the policy landscape. Through a discussion among policymakers, financial institutions, technology providers and payment innovators, the session will identify emerging opportunities and challenges that may require greater attention in coming years.
