The Interoperability Race: Competing Paths to Connected Tokenized Deposits

Tokenized deposits promise 24/7 programmable payments and settlement while preserving the benefits of commercial bank money. But to achieve widespread adoption and deliver meaningful value, they must move seamlessly across banks, ledgers, and networks. Emerging models represented by Swift Ledger, The Clearing House, Partior, Kinexys, Mastercard MTN, CBMT, and GBTD offer different approaches to this challenge. This session examines how these approaches differ in cross-bank reach, settlement finality, liquidity requirements, operational complexity, and integration with existing banking systems. Attendees will gain a practical framework for evaluating interoperability options and preparing for an evolving ecosystem of multiple payment rails and networks.

Digital Assets and AI in the Next Operating Model for Money Movement

As tokenized deposits, stablecoins, and emerging CBDCs—including the digital euro—reshape the payments landscape alongside instant payment systems, financial institutions face a strategic challenge: where to invest and how to compete without creating new operational silos. This keynote explores a unified operating model that connects digital money with existing banking systems, aligns technology investments with business priorities, and enables interoperability across banks and payment rails through emerging initiatives such as Swift Ledger. It examines how AI can support payment routing, liquidity optimization, and continuous supervision within established policy controls. Attendees will gain a practical perspective on reducing operational friction and moving digital money from pilots to production.

 

Breakout Session: Blockchain Meets AI: Practical Applications for Intelligent Money Movement

AI is reshaping who initiates payments, how money moves, and how banks supervise it. As tokenized deposits, stablecoins, and CBDCs expand choices alongside traditional payment rails, this session explores three connected applications: enabling agentic and machine-to-machine payments under bank-defined controls; optimizing payment routes, funding sources, and settlement paths; and using AI to detect risk, support investigations, and guide controlled responses. It emphasizes the importance of bringing these capabilities into one governed operating model through shared policies, unified transaction evidence, and human oversight—helping banks improve customer outcomes, offer new optimization services, and extend existing controls across traditional and digital money.
