Money 2040: Rethinking Money in the Digital and Quantum Era

Synopsis:

How will web3 networks, tokenized assets, and quantum breakthroughs change the nature and functions of money? What happens when money is personalised and tokenized, with programmable features tailored to individual needs? How will quantum technologies redefine the security and trust underpinning global currencies?

From Bitcoin's role as a store of value to the geopolitical trade implications of central bank digital currencies, the panel challenged the conventional perceptions of currency and value, examining money not just as a medium of exchange but as a form of information—personalised, programmable, and embedded into the fabric of communication systems.
