Virtual Program | Exploring the Future of Digital Currency: A Global Markets Perspective
November 15 at 5:00 pm SGT
FinTech players that enable real-time payments and embedded finance in mainstream applications, and cryptocurrencies that bypass conventional payment rails, are disrupting traditional finance. These technologies, and related advances in blockchain Layer-1 protocols, cloud computing, and data management enable a range of commercial applications that can have a huge positive social impact globally. Decisions today by central banks and regulators will have lasting impact on the development of these ecosystems and their potential social benefit, but regulatory clarity and consistency remain illusory. Panelists will unpack the technologies and cutting edge applications in FinTech and cryptocurrencies today; highlight innovative business models globally; and address the implications for traditional finance, the regulatory environment, and financial stability.
