Permissionless blockchains presents multiple opportunities for the pooling of global liquidity. The inherent traceability of all records offer significant cybersecurity enhancements over traditional systems by prevent false transactions. Moreover, continuously verifiable point-in-time snapshots of the distributed ledger offers added resilience to ensure business continuity.
In this industry-focused roundtable operating under the theme of Decoding Digital Assets and Payments, we invite private sector discussants to consider the pathways to implementation of permissionless blockchains by laying down all cards on the table. Speakers are invited to actively challenge the supposed benefits of permissionless blockchains with their inputs, discuss trade-offs, and address the perceived risks surrounding the technology.
This session seeks to lay the groundwork for later dialogues on the applications of permissionless blockchain in the form of structured products and collateral settlements.
This is one of two discussions surrounding permissionless/public blockchains in the financial services at the Insights Forum. Attendees who wish to familiarise themselves with the topic may refer to the reference materials below.

This roundtable considers the work that the BIS Innovation Hub Eurosystem Centre, Singapore Centre, together with the central banks of France, Italy, Malaysia, and Singapore are pursuing to determine how FX will look like in a world of digital money.
The discussion will support this work, with the objective to:
- Promote understanding and share insights on the integration of digital currencies in the FX market.
- Identify challenges and explore opportunities presented by the intersection of FX, DeFi, and wholesale CBDCs.
- Encourage collaboration among stakeholders to shape a forward-looking FX framework that accommodates digital innovations.
This roundtable is closely tied to the work on Project Rialto, which aims to improving instant cross-border payments using wholesale CBDC settlement, details of which are available in the agenda brief. Operating under the theme of Decoding Digital Assets and Payments, this roundtable will explore the inefficiencies in today's foreign exchange markets, and the various initiatives that are being pursued to address these.

Drawing from a recently launched report authored by McKinsey & Company entitled “Purpose Bound Money (PBM): A New Paradigm in Value Transfer'', this workshop will present important lessons learned from PBM pilots to date and explore possible roadmaps to driving universal adoption for PBM. The workshop also aims to discuss various pathways to universalise adoption for policymakers and regulators to consider as they establish foundations within their own jurisdictions to integrate PBM into mainstream payments systems and infrastructure.
This workshop aims to provide an opportunity for an exchange of views from the public and private sectors on the value proposition and future prospects for PBMs to be integrated into the mainstream retail payment system. It also aims to promote discussion on key elements of an enabling environment to facilitate customer and merchant adoption of PBMs.

Digital assets are poised to reshape the financial landscape. Blockchain technology, with its potential for smart contracts, instantaneous settlements, decentralised financial (DeFi) services, and cross-border payments, offers a new level of automation and efficiency.
But the blockchain revolution is not without its challenges. Its cross-border nature means that virtually everyone has access to everything, everywhere. This raises crucial questions: which regulation applies? How can we protect consumers? How do we prevent Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CFT)? How can we ensure privacy while adhering to Know Your Client (KYC) regulations?
The institutionalisation of the emerging digital asset sector is crucial to allowing a larger audience to access it and offering better protection to users. In this workshop, discover the challenges and opportunities the institutionalisation of the digital asset sector offers, who the new players are, and their roles and goals in the ecosystem.

Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) is seen as a game changer for any society. It can accelerate economic growth, streamline citizens’ access to social services, and both broaden financial inclusion and dramatically extend engagement with the digital economy.
In its essence, DPI is an assembly of interoperable digital building blocks that lay down “digital rails” by establishing some fundamentals: the unique identity of people, a scalable flow of data between institutions, and a secure infrastructure for digital payments.
Payments is a critical field for DPI. For centuries, cash has fulfilled a fundamental role in societies as a public payment infrastructure. Today, the ability to send and receive money digitally has become an essential capability for individuals, societies, and economies.
In the digital economy, tokenised money might act as an enabler of DPI that can drive economic value while enhancing the public welfare. But what should the roles of the public and private sectors be for a successful payment DPI? Which recipes can ensure interoperability of the ecosystem to support seamless flow of digital currencies? What are the important lessons learned from north star DPI projects? This session will seek to answer these questions.
