The big themes
Our takes on the big themes to emerge from the conference.
Distributed ledger technology
DLT will eventually replace much of our current infrastructure because it’s inherently more efficient, agile and secure.
Interoperability
New ecosystems, networks and digital assets are eagerly being deployed on blockchains, but – much like the early days of the internet – they’re being built in ‘walled gardens’. Without true interoperability, these won’t deliver on their potential. Bringing business knowledge, standards, and the right technology together is the answer.
Digital assets
The digitisation of transactions and assets through tokenisation will deliver transformative improvements for investors and issuers alike – but it should be transparent to end users, and demand a new framework and approach.
Tokenised money
Private digital money – in the form of wholesale and commercial stablecoins, tokenised deposits, and e-money – is changing the world of finance. It’s compliant with regulation, fully-backed and designed from the outset for B2B use.
Central bank digital currencies
Where privately-issued digital money has led with great promise in specific use cases, CBDCs will follow with much broader potential. Implemented with consideration for security, privacy and proper interoperability, CBDCs will empower governments and their citizens alike.
