About this session
Global finance is moving beyond simple payment rails. The next generation of financial market infrastructure must support a broader universe of digital liabilities, assets, and ledgers - across institutions, asset classes, and jurisdictions.
This panel will explore how multi-chain, multi-asset orchestration connect diverse ledgers and enable practical convergence without relying on a single monolithic platform. Leaders from major global institutions will discuss the implementation of digital cash including tokenised deposits for example with Partior; the LSEG DiSH Trust Account model; and how banks, FMIs, and technology providers are jointly delivering live use cases.
Join this session to see how the industry has productionised services to seamlessly synchronise interbank liquidity as a resilient foundation for the next generation of global financial market infrastructure.
