PANEL - Digital Won Everywhere Except Money: Why Stablecoins Are the Breakthrough
Fluela · Mountain Plaza Hotel
For 30 years, software has systematically dismantled the cost, friction, and latency of every major system of coordination—media, commerce, logistics, communications. Money is the exception. Despite a fully digital economy, finance still operates on batch settlement, fragmented ledgers, delayed reconciliation, and jurisdictional silos.
This session explains why money resisted digitisation longer than any other layer—and why that resistance is now collapsing.
Stablecoins are not a new asset class; they are the native digital form of cash.
Always-on, programmable, and globally interoperable, they collapse payments, treasury, savings, and short-term credit into a single financial primitive.
Once money becomes software, capital markets follow.
Tokenised credit and assets enable continuous settlement, real-time risk management, and radically more efficient capital allocation.
This is not a speculative future or a regulatory thought experiment. It is a structural shift already underway, driven by utility, scale, and economics.
The discussion focuses on what changes when money finally digitises—and why this transition will underpin the next phase of global financial infrastructure.
