Technology Rewiring
Programmable Money and the Rise of Agentic Payments
About this session
Money is becoming programmable. Stablecoins, tokenized bank deposits and central bank digital currencies can now carry rules about when, where and to whom they move. Banks, card networks and fintechs are building on these new forms of money, and AI agents are starting to transact on their own. But the landscape is fragmented across issuers, networks and jurisdictions, and money that works in one system may not be accepted in another. As payments become conditional, automated and increasingly initiated by machines rather than people, the questions get sharper. How do we preserve the “singleness of money” when there are many monies? What frameworks allow businesses send value across borders as easily as a message? And when an agent pays, who carries the responsibility?
The panel will separate what is working today from what is still hype, and set out what the industry and businesses need to get right next.
