About this session
Payments is where crypto either earns its place in the real economy or doesn't. Stablecoins now move meaningful volume, but most everyday users still can't navigate wallet addresses, and most regulators are still working out how to supervise a payment instrument that settles on public infrastructure. The gap between “technically possible” and “actually used at scale” is the most interesting policy and product problem in the space right now.

About this session
Institutional finance is no longer watching stablecoins and DeFi from the sidelines - a growing cohort of banks and asset managers are deploying capital into permissioned on-chain liquidity pools, tokenised collateral markets, and stablecoin-settled instruments. This session explores how institutions are building the frameworks, partnerships, and guardrails to participate in on-chain markets at scale - and what it will take to bring the rest of the industry with them.
