About this session
One integration, multiple markets: who is responsible at each step of a cross-border payment?
Imagine a payment company serving customers across Asia and the Middle East. Funds are collected through a bank, converted into digital money, transferred across borders, and paid out in local currency.
Behind this seemingly seamless journey, who is authorised to perform each step? Who holds the funds, provides liquidity, manages foreign exchange, and carries out transaction checks? And who answers to the customer if something goes wrong?
Fuze will guide attendees through this illustrative payment journey, with representatives from a bank and a payment company, alongside a regulatory expert, examining the responsibilities, risks, and requirements at each stage.
Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of what to expect from infrastructure partners when launching new cross-border payment routes, and how local regulation and market access shape what can be delivered through a single integration.

[Invite-only] Who Settles the New Corridors? Stablecoins, Tokenised Deposits and Gulf–Asia–Africa Settlement - Powered by ADI Foundation

About this session
As trade and capital flows along Gulf–Asia–Africa corridors deepen, the question of what actually settles these transactions is moving from theory to practice. Stablecoins, tokenised deposits and next-generation payment networks are all vying to become the settlement assets of choice — each with distinct implications for liquidity, FX, interoperability and regulation.
Hosted by ADI Foundation, this invitation-only boardroom convenes central banks, commercial banks, settlement networks, stablecoin issuers and infrastructure providers for a candid, closed-door discussion on the plumbing of cross-border settlement. Participants will compare settlement models, examine the operational dependencies of corridor-scale adoption, and identify the regulatory conditions required for digital settlement to move from pilot to production across the Gulf, Asia and Africa.
Key Themes
The Settlement Asset — Stablecoins, tokenised deposits and the trade-offs between competing settlement asset choices.
Corridor Plumbing — Interoperability, FX, liquidity and cross-border payment connectivity across Gulf–Asia–Africa corridors.
Rules of the Road — Regulatory requirements and cross-border recognition needed for institutional adoption at scale.

About this session
Stablecoin regulatory frameworks around the world are now taking shape in parallel. Each is coherent on its own terms, but together they raise a broader question: how does a stablecoin authorised in one jurisdiction gain acceptance in another? Where do requirements collide, can there be interoperability without recognition, and where are practical bridges realistic?
