Central Bank Perspectives on the Path to Production at Scale for Cross Border FX (PvP) Settlements - Powered by Partior

LaunchpadLaunchpad Room, Level 1Open
About this session

Cross-border FX settlement is entering a decisive new phase. As digital money, new settlement models, and emerging infrastructures reshape the global financial system, central banks are moving from theory to practical engagement - domestically, bilaterally, and multilaterally.
This panel brings together leading central banks to explore how the future market structure for cross-border FX PvP settlement is being shaped in practice. The discussion will examine key design choices: decentralised versus centralised orchestration, bilateral interoperability versus federated protocols, and how to move from experimentation to production without creating new fragmentation.
Join the conversation to hear how central banks and progressive market participants are modelling, testing, and guiding the next generation of safe, interoperable, and scalable cross-border FX settlement.

Practical Settlement Options in Tokenized Markets

GFTN InsightsRoundtable Room 1, Ground FloorOpenModerator
About this session

The development of tokenized settlement assets plays a key role in enhancing liquidity and improving settlement efficiency in financial services. Yet the diversity of settlement assets – regulated stablecoins, tokenized deposits, tokenized central bank reserves – could introduce fragmentation and substitution risk if token interoperability, yield and incentive mechanisms, and financial stability considerations are not well addressed.

This roundtable brings together the financial industry and policymakers to address the multi-faceted considerations for tokenized settlement assets, ensuring they are fit-for-purpose across banking, capital markets, and wholesale payments.

GFTN InsightsRoundtable Room 2, Ground FloorOpen
About this session

Tokenization is reshaping wholesale payments, foreign exchange, and securities. As adoption grows across platforms and jurisdictions, it introduces fragmentation, operational complexity, and coordination challenges that may affect liquidity, settlement certainty, and systemic stability.
This roundtable will examine the governance, control frameworks, and cross-border coordination needed to ensure trust, integrity, and resilience in tokenized financial markets. It will explore practical approaches to embed compliance, interoperability, and accountability, advancing trust in tokenization, and enabling it to scale.

GL1 Dialogue: Institutional-Grade Ledger Infrastructures

GFTN InsightsRoundtable Room 2, Ground FloorOpenModerator
About this session

As digital assets continue to expand across global markets, public and private sector stakeholders face growing complexities around operations, regulations, and scalability. Some advocate for a single global ledger, while others favour consistent standards to be applied across networks to enable seamless interoperability.

This roundtable will examine these perspectives and explore what it will take to build a scalable digital asset ecosystem on institutional-grade infrastructure.
