As money becomes programmable, trust is no longer enforced after the transaction—it is embedded within it. Identity, compliance, and risk management must evolve to operate in real time and, increasingly, autonomously.
This session examines how banks can extend their role as trusted intermediaries into on-chain environments. The discussion will focus on identity-linked payments, policy-driven transaction controls, smart contract risk, and the emerging role of banks as trust and compliance layers in programmable financial systems.
