This panel explores the next phase of digital currency & payments, examining how CBDCs may move from pilots to scalable public infrastructure, how stablecoins could mature through regulation and institutional adoption, and how tokenized deposits may modernize bank money on-chain. Panelists will discuss where these models may compete, converge, or complement one another across payments, settlement, and capital markets. Attendees will gain a forward-looking view of what the digital currency landscape could look like over the next decade and what it means for financial institutions, policymakers, and market participants.
