Presentation
As financial institutions increasingly explore the use of public blockchains, they encounter a set of challenges that are difficult to resolve on their own. Front-running, transaction censorship, unsolicited tokens, and gas fees paid to sanctioned entities are among the most pressing concerns, and their root causes often lie in the foundational layers of public blockchain networks. Where financial institutions act merely as users and not operators of the underlying networks and platforms, solving these issues is often outside their direct control. This presentation will discuss solutions at different layers and how cross-ecosystem collaboration between financial institutions, blockchain protocol developers, and regulators can help develop effective and lasting solutions.
Panel Discussion: How Digital Currency are Transforming Treasury Operations
Digital currencies are reshaping the financial landscape and redefining how treasury functions operate. From CBDCs and stablecoins to tokenized assets and blockchain-based payments, these innovations present both transformative opportunities and complex risks. This panel will examine
- how digital currencies impact liquidity management, cross-border transactions, risk mitigation, regulatory compliance, and cash visibility.
- whether stablecoins, tokenized deposits, or CBDC can improve B2B payments?
- How this will impact cash & treasury management for corporates?
- What will be the position for banks and services providers in this “DLT-era” where ‘composability’ will be reality on programmable platforms?
Industry experts will discuss key implementation challenges, governance considerations, and strategic approaches treasurers can adopt to navigate this evolving ecosystem with confidence.
