Always-On Settlement | How Banks Can Move Funds Seven Days A Week

Tokenized Money | The Strategic Choices For Banks

As banks evaluate how to engage with onchain money, tokenized deposits and regulated stablecoins are often positioned as parallel, and sometimes competing, models. This session offers a high-level comparison of the two approaches, examining how they differ in regulatory interpretation, balance sheet treatment, and underlying trust assumptions, as well as where they may ultimately converge. The discussion will focus on the strategic considerations banks face when choosing between issuing, integrating, or partnering across these models. Participants will explore how regulators view each approach, what trust means in a programmable financial system, and how banks can align their digital money strategy with long-term goals around scalability, interoperability, and customer adoption.

Agents & Stablecoins | The Infrastructure Of The Future

As agentic AI systems begin to execute tasks autonomously, the need for a global, always-on, and programmable transaction layer becomes increasingly clear. This session explores why regulated stablecoins are well positioned to serve as the default mechanism for AI-driven transactions, combining real-time settlement, verifiability, and programmable logic on blockchain infrastructure that operates across borders and time zones. The discussion will focus on what this convergence means for banks, from enabling AI-driven treasury and payments workflows to maintaining control, compliance, and trust in an automated financial environment. Attendees will examine how banks can participate in and govern these systems, the role of stablecoins within existing regulatory frameworks, and how financial institutions can prepare for a future where software agents initiate and settle value as seamlessly as they exchange data.
