Writing the Playbooks for a Rewired World
From agentic commerce to always-on markets, the financial system is being rewired in real time. Smart contracts now move trillions of dollars’ worth of stablecoins across borders automatically, reshaping how value flows, settles, and is governed.
Against this backdrop, Point Zero Forum’s public-private roundtables provide a vital platform for regulators, policymakers, and industry leaders to develop future-ready regulatory approaches that sustain trust and compliance in a shifting world.
Conducted under Chatham House Rules, these sessions foster open, candid dialogue in a confidential setting, ensuring meaningful, actionable outcomes. Each roundtable is designed to deliver tangible results: agenda-setting reports, regulatory playbooks, and the development of targeted working groups.

2026 Focus Areas
Trust and Compliance for an Autonomous and Intelligent Landscape
Agentic commerce is moving from theory to deployment. AI agents can now transact, negotiate, and optimise commerce flows end-to-end, while emerging protocols define how machines interact and exchange value.
As individuals and organisations increasingly delegate decision-making to autonomous systems, foundational questions emerge. What frameworks will maintain trust, compliance, and accountability? Who is liable when an autonomous transaction goes awry? What are the implications for financial stability when transactions are executed with minimal human oversight?
Point Zero Forum will bring together the regulators, policymakers, and industry leaders shaping the guardrails for these technologies, defining how autonomy operates within financial markets.
- Solving for the Fundamentals: Identity Wallets, Trust Infrastructure, and Preparing for the Agentic Economy
- Agentic Commerce: Who Governs the Machine that Pays
- From Automation to Autonomy
- Moving from POC to value: Central banking AI Use-Cases and Implementation Strategies
Tokenized Markets in Motion: Solving for Interoperability and Regulatory Harmonisation
The next phase of tokenised finance is not experimentation, but scale. Regulatory frameworks such as MiCA, the GENIUS Act, and other regulatory frameworks signal growing maturity and clarity but also increasing divergence.
Without coordination, regulatory divergence and technical fragmentation risk splitting markets into jurisdictional silos, capping the very efficiencies promised by tokenization.
Point Zero Forum will focus on the practical pathways to scale: aligning regulatory approaches, unlocking interoperability across platforms, and addressing risks in an increasingly borderless financial system.

Future-Ready Regulation for an Uncertain World
Policymakers have limited options when it comes to governing emerging technologies: act too early and constrain innovation; act too late and lose the ability to shape outcomes.
As rapid technological development outpaces traditional policy cycles, there is a growing need for adaptive, evidence-based regulatory approaches that can evolve alongside innovation.
These sessions will offer an inside look into the projects that are building innovative approaches, from preparing for quantum’s inflection point to governing emerging applications of AI in finance.
- The Fintech Regulatory Futures Index: An Evidence-Based Approach to Assessing the Effectiveness of Fintech Regulation
- Governing AI Applications in Financial Services
- Building Regulatory Maturity: From Quantum Security to Quantum Advantage
- The Great Convergence: Building Tomorrow's Integrated Payments Networks
From Insights to Action: Public-Private Working Groups
From pathfinders to working groups, these sessions convene the working groups actively building the next generation of financial infrastructure.
They spotlight the collaborative efforts led by the public sector to translate ideas into implementation, such as those by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the Swiss National Bank, the BIS Innovation Hub, FINMA, the Swiss Secretariat for International Finance, and GFTN.
