Unchaining Tokenized Money: Stablecoins, CBDCs, and the Race for Scale

As CBDCs move from pilots to policy and stablecoins scale into real-world payment and settlement use cases, digital money is entering a phase of practical deployment. Yet regulatory and technical fragmentation continue to threaten the efficiencies that tokenization at scale promises to unlock.

The discussion will focus on where real adoption is already taking place today, what barriers are still preventing scale, and how central banks, financial institutions, and technology providers can unlock interoperability across CBDCs, stablecoins, and tokenized financial systems globally within current market conditions.
