Panel discussion : Interoperability & Standardization

As digital currencies—CBDCs, stablecoins, and tokenized deposits—continue to evolve, the demand for seamless interoperability and globally recognized standards has become increasingly urgent.

This panel will explore the critical role of interoperability and standardization in fostering a cohesive digital currency ecosystem.
