About this session
Necessity is the mother of invention! Last month, Georgia announced that it will put its national currency on blockchain rails in partnership with one of the world's largest stablecoin issuers — and the world is watching closely. This session extracts the blueprint: what decisions were made, what was left unresolved, and how programmable banking turns a bold issuance moment into lasting financial infrastructure.
Hear from the central bank Governor that took the leap, the private issuer leader that made it possible, and the founder of a programmable bank that shows what comes next. Three perspectives, three urgent questions: how to manage risks, what are the trade-offs and what happens next?
