About this session
The financial system is evolving towards a world where different forms of money coexist and move across increasingly interconnected networks. Fiat money and commercial bank deposits continue to underpin the global financial system, while new forms and representations of money — including tokenized deposits, payment stablecoins and central bank digital currencies — are introducing different characteristics, capabilities and ways of transacting. As traditional finance, with its established institutions, infrastructure and scale, intersects with a growing decentralised finance ecosystem, the challenge is to ensure these different forms of money and financial systems can work together.
Building on the morning’s discussion of what should come first, this panel turns to the practical realities of a multi-money, multi-rail world. How can different forms of money connect across traditional and decentralised financial systems? What infrastructure, standards and regulatory approaches are needed to enable interoperability across borders, while safeguarding monetary sovereignty, financial stability and trust? -
