About this session
AI agents are moving from impressive demos to live deployments - developing software, executing trades, processing credit decisions, managing liquidity, and engaging clients. But scaling agentic AI across a regulated institution demands more than a powerful model; it requires deliberate choices across all five layers of the stack, from energy and compute infrastructure to cloud architecture, model selection, and application design. This session maps the full journey from pilot to production - where the industry is succeeding, where it is stalling, and what the roadmap to truly intelligent financial services looks like.

About this session
Stablecoins have crossed $300 billion in circulation. Tokenized deposits are live at various global banks. Yet for all the headline numbers, the hard question remains unanswered: how do programmable money instruments actually integrate with the treasury operations, correspondent banking relationships, and payments infrastructure that keep traditional finance running?
This session convenes senior practitioners from banks, corporates, and digital asset firms to examine the real friction points - legal, operational, and technical - where digital money collides with TradFi plumbing, and where the integration is showing progress. Participants will discuss strategies to scale the integration of digital assets within traditional operations, including updating risk management frameworks, adhering to regulatory requirements, and architecting interoperability across systems.
