Traditional payment systems were not built for real-time, programmable money movement. As on-chain payments move toward scale, banks must rethink the foundational layers of their payment stack—from ledgers and settlement systems to connectivity across multiple rails.

This session examines how institutions are modernizing infrastructure to support tokenized money, 24/7 operations, and atomic settlement. Learn how banks are bridging on-chain and off-chain environments, and what it takes to evolve from batch-based processing to continuous, real-time financial systems.

The value of on-chain payments will ultimately be defined by where they deliver measurable impact. This session focuses on the use cases gaining traction—from cross-border B2B payments and treasury management to merchant settlement, payouts, and supply chain finance. This fireside chat will explore how programmable payments enable automation, reduce friction, and unlock new efficiencies, and what it takes to move from pilot programs to scaled, revenue-generating solutions.

As payments become autonomous and machine-driven, the nature of trust is being redefined. This session examines how banks can extend their role as trusted intermediaries in a world of on-chain transactions, AI-driven payments, and evolving fraud threats. The discussion includes identity-based payments, real-time risk management, policy-driven transaction controls, and the shifting dynamics of liability and trust. Learn how institutions can embed trust directly into payment flows—and differentiate in an increasingly automated financial ecosystem.
