The Interplay of CBDCs, Stablecoins, and Tokenized Deposits

The curation of content and speakers was wholly managed by Giesecke + Devrient and does not reflect the views of the organisers or its staff.

Ledger-based solutions, such as DLT and blockchain, are poised to significantly transform the global payment landscape. In this workshop we will examine the importance of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) as a trust anchor in an ecosystem that includes multiple forms of digital money. Discussions will also cover how central banks, in collaboration with the private sector, are uniquely positioned to lay the groundwork for a tokenized economy, offering a regulated alternative to unregulated private initiatives. Leveraging the strengths of the current financial system, token-based digital currencies—such as retail and wholesale CBDCs, deposit tokens, and regulated stablecoins—have the potential to revolutionize the financial system by enhancing its efficiency, accessibility, and transparency for the benefit of consumers.

This workshop will equip participants with valuable perspectives that will contribute to shaping a visionary financial future, highlighting the importance of collaborative partnerships between central banks and the private sector.
