About this session
Switzerland is not debating whether programmable money works - it is building it. Various pilots are now looking to answer the same question: how does programmable money move from laboratory to the infrastructure layer of everyday finance? This session examines where deposit tokens, stablecoins, and CBDCs serve genuinely different use cases, and what the rest of the world can learn from the Swiss approach.
