What the Future Holds for Europe's Digital Currencies and Payments Landscape

Forum StageKongresssaal, Level 1Open
About this session

Europe’s monetary architecture is being actively redefined: central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), local currency denominated stablecoins and tokenized deposits have been added to the mix of public and private money in Europe’s digital financial system. This session brings together central banks and industry leaders to assess the emerging landscape of digital currencies in Europe and to confront the key design trade-offs around privacy, interoperability, and distribution. From the role of intermediaries to the risk of fragmentation across competing forms of digital money, the discussion will explore how Europe can balance innovation, sovereignty, and financial stability in its future financial infrastructure.

Building a Practitioner's Guide for Tokenization in Finance: Oversight Panel Convening

GFTN InsightsRoundtable Room 2, Ground FloorOpen
About this session

Tokenization is reshaping financial infrastructure across many economies. The decisions that are being made now on architecture, standards and governance will determine whether that infrastructure serves developed and emerging and developing economies, or leaves some behind. Ensuring that outcome requires senior public sector voices at the centre of these conversations.
This session brings both working groups and the public sector Oversight Panel together for the first time. Working group leads will present their confirmed problem statements on what the evidence shows, and receive feedback and recommendations that working groups will pursue to build the practitioner's guide that will publish at Singapore FinTech Festival in November 2026.
About the initiative
GFTN is launching _Tokenization in Finance: Evidence and Implementation Pathways_, a structured, multi-stakeholder initiative convening two working groups drawn from leading financial institutions, infrastructure providers, and market participants to assemble a practitioner-oriented evidence base spanning spanning digital money and payment rails through to tokenized real-world assets, securities, funds, and capital markets infrastructure. At Singapore FinTech Festival in November 2026, the initiative will publish a practitioner guide designed to give financial institutions a structured basis for sequencing their digital asset strategies, and to equip regulators and finance ministries in emerging and developing economies with implementation pathways they can draw on directly.
