Digital Money and Its Role in the Financial System

Digital money, from central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) to stablecoins and tokenized deposits, have promised to simplify cross-border payments, accounting and record-keeping, as well as to improve financial inclusion on a global scale. Despite these benefits, digital money projects remain in a largely experimental stage and widespread adoption remains limited. This is in part due to challenges such as cybersecurity concerns and regulatory uncertainty to technical limitations, such as a lack of interoperability.

In this panel, leaders from the worlds of decentralised finance, investment banking, and technology, will share how today’s technical advancements are reshaping the landscape of digital money and financial market infrastructures, the factors that will determine the success of digital money initiatives, and how digital money will transform the financial system in the coming years.

Panelists will address:

·      The benefits and risks associated with digital money

·      The factors that will determine the success of digital money initiatives

·      How technical advancements today are reshaping the landscape of digital money and financial market infrastructures

·      How digital money will transform the financial system in the coming years
