This roundtable reflects Elevandi’s commitment to developing the infrastructure to support the adoption of new technologies.

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.

In the past year, arguments have been had, points made and sides chosen between Teams Banking and Crypto.

Team Crypto threw down the gauntlet in the first Oxford-style debate we held at Point Zero Forum last year, lauding the real-life implementations and impact stablecoins have had in expanding financial inclusion and heralding an age of internet-scale composable and programmable money. In the same breath, they highlighted deposit tokens' limitations in addressing the last mile and expanding financial security on a global scale.

On the other side of the table, Team Banking countered by underscoring the limited assets stablecoins are constrained by, stating instead the ability of tokenised deposits to enable efficient transactions and support a wide range of financial industry use cases safely.

Observers then gave both teams credit for their arguments; but Team Crypto gained a slight edge during a second debate at the Singapore FinTech Festival later in the year, winning the audience's popular vote. This is a not-to-be-missed Grand Finale to the Digital Currency Trilogy.

This roundtable is the third phase of an ongoing dialogue focused on crafting open and interoperable networks within the financial ecosystem. 

In November 2023, a roundtable titled 'Open and Interoperable Networks,' convened by the International Monetary Fund and the Monetary Authority of Singapore, delved into the necessity for multilateral platforms powered by such networks among global banks and regulators. A subsequent write-up underscored the need for advancements across technology, business, and regulations. These included rigorous testing of technology through live transactions, clearer articulation of the benefits of interoperability, and regulatory support for innovative technologies, such as through regulatory sandboxes. 

At the March 2024 gathering during the Japan FinTech Festival, a follow-up discussion titled 'Moving Money at the Speed of the Internet' was held in collaboration with the Financial Services Agency of Japan and the Monetary Authority of Singapore. The conversation addressed the challenges posed by the lack of compliant digital infrastructure for financial institutions to execute digital asset transactions at scale. Find more insights from this discussion, emphasising the crucial role of foundational digital infrastructure in supporting open and interoperable networks in the pre-reading material. 

Building on past recommendations, this third chapter brings together key stakeholders from various sectors of the financial industry to address concerns and chart a course for the future of stablecoins within the monetary system. Operating under our theme of Decoding Digital Assets and Payments, the session aims to provide guidance to regulators, support commercial banks in adapting to the evolving landscape, and encourage FinTech innovation alongside stablecoins. 

Experts on the roundtable will drive a meaningful exchange on the following:  
- An overview of the current concerns surrounding stablecoins, ranging from regulatory uncertainties to systemic risks, and insights into ongoing efforts to understand and regulate digital assets through collaboration. Consideration of the systematic impact of increasing holdings of reserve currencies by issuers 
- The role of commercial banks in the future monetary system, including opportunities in developing on-chain assets and strategies for integrating traditional banking services with emerging digital asset platforms.  
- Collaborative initiatives between FinTechs and stablecoin issuers as key drivers of innovation. Fintech leaders will be invited to share their perspectives on the intersection of innovation in the digital asset space

The digital assets landscape is rapidly evolving with new technologies, such as blockchain and tokenisation standards, as well as regulatory requirements. While many tokenisation initiatives continue to emerge, few pilots have proven to build a sustainable business model.

This workshop will discuss the business, technical and regulatory challenges, as well as opportunities related to performing tokenisation at scale. It will also cover how banks and financial institutions can build a viable business model as they move from pilots into production and distribution.

This roundtable reflects Elevandi’s commitment to developing the infrastructure to support the adoption of new technologies.

Following initial experiments with public blockchains in the unregulated space, the focus is now on potential applications in the regulated sector. The opportunities that could arise for traditional financial institutions by using public blockchain systems with global reach and 24/7 availability shall be discussed. Keywords are efficiency, trust, cost reduction and usability. With new opportunities come new risks. The implementation of a public blockchain as a transfer infrastructure poses various risks that need to be adequately addressed, such as operational, reputational and legal risks.

Operating under the theme of Decoding Digital Assets and Payments, the roundtable will discuss the extent to which these risks can be mitigated or whether such risks hinder the implementation of use cases. Switzerland's DLT legislation already outlines some concepts that can be deepened and compared with other approaches. The aim of the roundtable is to discuss potential use cases for blockchain as a transfer infrastructure in the regulated sector.

Hosted by FINMA, the roundtable is primarily aimed at supervisory authorities and representatives of the financial industry or academia who are interested in blockchain and its implementation in the regulated area.

The following questions will be discussed:
- What potential use cases can benefit from the implementation of a public blockchain as transfer infrastructure in the regulated sector?
- What are the risks and opportunities? What risk mitigation measures need to be applied?

This is one of two discussions surrounding permissionless/public blockchains in the financial services at the Insights Forum. Find out more at the "Permissionless blockchain in financial services" session, where industry players table their perspectives.

Tokenisation of real world assets (RWAs) offers transformative potential, and is expected to impact both financial services and the broader economy. However, despite this promise of potential, most RWA tokenisation projects are still in the pilot or experimental phase. Integrating tokenised RWAs into the mainstream economic and financial system also presents regulatory challenges, particularly in consumer protection, financial stability, and compliance.

This roundtable represents the latest milestone in the ongoing evolution of Project Guardian, a concerted effort to foster responsible innovation in digital assets while safeguarding financial stability and integrity.

In 2023, Project Guardian had unlocked the potential of traditional finance (TradFi) through decentralised finance (DeFi) with a summary outlining actionable insights. This includes the importance of international collaboration, responsible innovation, and a shift towards outcome-oriented approaches by taking tokenisation from concepts to commercialisation. Emphasising the need to prioritise commercial value over just technological allure, these discussions have set the tone for the pivotal role of Project Guardian in shaping the financial landscape. Read the report here.

Looking ahead to 2024, the next phase of Project Guardian aims to accelerate institutional adoption and scalability for asset tokenisation, by unpacking how the industry can work together to fuel this acceleration. The roundtables will focus on the following two asset classes: Foreign exchange and Asset and wealth management (Funds).

This roundtable reflects Elevandi’s commitment to developing the infrastructure to support the adoption of new technologies. Following on from the 2023 Point Zero Summit debate, “Who Will Emerge the Digital Money Winner: Stablecoins or Tokenised Deposits?”, the Insight's Forum saw a public-private roundtable consider the Rules to power a stablecoin driven economy

As digital assets are gaining importance, stablecoins, tokenised bank deposits and deposit tokens promise the facilitation of payments. At the same time, regulatory bodies and standard setters of financial markets have identified a number of issues which call for close attention.

Operating within the theme of Decoding Digital Assets and Payments, this roundtable looks at the international regulatory landscape for stablecoins, tokenised bank deposits and deposit tokens and focusses on ‘lessons learned’ from ongoing regulatory initiatives worldwide. What is needed to reconcile the promise of innovation with the need for sound regulation? What regulations are sensible from a financial stability and monetary policy perspective?

This is one of two discussions surrounding stablecoins which brings together views on this issue from regulators, standard setters, stablecoin issuers, commercial banks and academics at the Insights Forum. Find out more at the "Stablecoins in the monetary system of the future" session, which aims to provide guidance to regulators, support commercial banks in adapting to the evolving landscape, and encourage FinTech innovation alongside stablecoins.

This roundtable reflects Elevandi’s commitment to developing the infrastructure to support the adoption of new technologies.

Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) is revolutionising the financial sector, with the potential to streamline processes, enhance security, and democratise access to financial services. However, as DLT-based solutions transition from traditional models towards algorithmic governance, a critical juncture has emerged.

Operating under the theme of Decoding Digital Assets and Payments, this roundtable brings together policymakers, academics, and financial experts to navigate the legal and regulatory complexities arising from the transition towards AI and algorithmic governance in DLT-based finance.

This discussion will delve into the specific challenges and opportunities that arise with this shift, including issues of sustainability, transparency, accountability, and potential biases within the algorithms themselves. By exploring these key areas and considering the potential integration with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and eventually Internet of Things (IoT), the roundtable seeks to contribute to the creation of a sustainable, robust and secure future for this transformative technology. For example, a DLT-based micro-loan platform could leverage on AI algorithms to automate document verification, creditworthiness assessment and loan approvals, potentially reducing processing times, fraud risks and increasing financial inclusion. However, ensuring that these algorithms are unbiased is crucial to prevent discrimination against certain borrowers.

This roundtable furthers Elevandi’s focus on developing the digital public goods, including at the 2023 Singapore FinTech Festival and 2024 Japan FinTech Festival.

Operating under the theme of Decoding Digital Assets and Payments, this roundtable will inform policy and business leaders on how data ecosystem development and cross border data policies may impact emerging digitalization agendas within trade, finance and sustainability. Alongside the G7 agenda for Data Free-Flow with Trust (DFFT), these areas of economic activity and policy require enhanced mechanisms for trusted and reliable data sharing or analysis across jurisdictional and policy borders.

It aims to enhance awareness and dialogue between different international initiatives shaping policy governing cross-border data flows. There are several key initiatives in this area, each emanating from a different policy domain.

- The DFFT initiative set out by the G7 and G20 aims to promote cross border data flows while respecting privacy, security, and intellectual property rights;
- the CPMI agenda aims to provide support to enhance efficiency, transparency, and safety of cross border payments with interoperability as a key building block; and
- the ICC Digital Standards Initiative convenes trade and finance stakeholders to enable trade digitalization with interoperability and data sharing as primary objectives, and where success relies on the free flow of commercial data in cross border supply chains.

Other initiatives include bilateral digital trade agreements that seek to enhance access to data and systems such as credit bureaus or business registry and legal data normally reserved for domestic institutions or industry members. In this patchwork of critical initiatives, this roundtable provides an opportunity for mutual update and dialogue across to forge more effective, integrated approaches to data governance and flows in support of the global digital economy.

Attendees will be invited to participate in polls and Q&A.

This roundtable reflects Elevandi’s commitment to advancing adoption of frontier technologies. This includes consideration of the Use of AI/ML in Financial Supervision by Central Banks in a 2024 FutureMatters opinion.

The RegTech Association research has found that the adoption of RegTech or SupTech for supervisors is on the rise with 80% of regulators in the last survey indicating that they had onboarded a solution in the prior 12 months and engagement levels are high. There are still challenges on the needs for regulators and central agencies not being clear on their needs and challenges in onboarding innovation.

Under the theme of Decoding Digital Assets and Payments, this roundtable will be a first step in creating a safe space conversation with supervisors and technology companies. It will feature presentations from BIS and Central Banks from Europe as well as technology companies in the SupTech/RegTech arena. The presentations will be followed by a moderated discussion that will crystallise the points from the speakers and unpack the opportunities, barriers and the new horizons with input from the attendees of the session.

This roundtable reflects Elevandi’s commitment to developing the infrastructure to support the adoption of new technologies.

The quest for cheaper, faster, more transparent and accessible cross-border payments has become a central focus for policymakers and financial institutions worldwide. At the forefront of this initiative is the G20 Roadmap for Enhancing Cross-border Payments, setting ambitious targets on speed, cost, transparency and accessibility by the end of 2027, while also prioritising safety and financial inclusion globally.

In tandem with this global effort, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) introduced Project Nexus in 2021, an innovative initiative aimed at reshaping the landscape of cross-border payments. Through Nexus, the BIS has developed a multilateral and standardised approach in connecting fast payment systems globally to enable instant and seamless cross-border payments. Over the past two years, Project Nexus has conducted a successful proof-of-concept with the fast payment systems in the Eurozone, Malaysia, and Singapore. Notably, it has also facilitated collaboration among five Southeast Asian countries to link their fast payment systems.

With the completion of Phase III of Project Nexus, it promises to reveal ground-breaking advancements towards establishing a global multilateral payments platform. Under the theme of Decoding Digital Assets and Payments, this upcoming roundtable presents a rare opportunity for attendees to gain insights into the blueprint for this pioneering cross-border payments model. With the potential to revolutionise the current state of the global financial market infrastructure, Project Nexus is poised to redefine the future of cross-border transactions.

This roundtable continues Elevandi’s series on the progress of Project Guardian, a concerted effort between policymakers and the financial industry to foster responsible innovation in asset tokenisation while enhancing liquidity and efficiency of financial markets.

Forms of financial asset tokenisation are taking shape in capital markets, through platforms that facilitate the issuance of these tokens to those supporting secondary trading of tokenised securities. With tokenisation, these platforms are broadening investor access to private equity and private credit by making it more cost-efficient to fractionalise and offer such products. Furthermore, by simplifying the distribution and trading of such products digitally, platforms may improve the liquidity of these traditionally illiquid products.

In 2023, participating financial institutions in Project Guardian demonstrated the potential of asset tokenisation through different pilots across use cases, unlocking the potential of traditional finance (TradFi) through decentralised finance (DeFi). A summary outlining actionable insights was produced that highlighted the importance of international collaboration, responsible innovation, and a shift towards outcome-oriented approaches by taking tokenisation from concepts to commercialisation. Emphasising the need to prioritise commercial value over just technological allure, these discussions set the tone for the pivotal role of Project Guardian in shaping the financial landscape. Read the report here.

Looking ahead to 2024, the next phase of Project Guardian aims to accelerate institutional adoption and scalability for asset tokenisation, by unpacking how the industry can work together to fuel this acceleration. This roundtable is one of two roundtables held at the Point Zero Forum under the theme of Decoding Digital Assets and Payments that will discuss the latest developments and findings based on the milestones achieved under Project Guardian till date. This roundtable will focus on asset and wealth management.

In keeping with Elevandi's commitment to ensuring the development of inclusive systems, this roundtable focuses on how MSMEs can be empowered to conduct seamless business with a trusted digital identify & digital assets with stronger support from financial institutions and FinTechs.

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) are working with leading central banks, bank and non-bank financial institutions, multilateral agencies and other stakeholders on the Universal Trusted Credential (UTC). The UTC is a data-driven, digitally enabled, characterisation of an MSME’s creditworthiness and business trust based on verified, traditional as well as alternative data. The goal is to provide MSMEs with an interoperable digital identity that can help them be considered for greater access to financial services and financial inclusion. In addition, MSMEs can use the UTC as an interoperable digital identity that will enable them to conduct cross-border trades with new partners.

In this roundtable operated under our theme of Decoding Digital Assets and Payments, discussants will explore the following:
- The unique potential of UTCs and how it can help MSMEs grow their business
- The challenges surrounding UTC implementation including data regulations, data infrastructure, as well as policy and domestic financial markets
- How the UTC can optimise financing, digital economy business, payments and forex settlements
- Current application of the UTC with smart contracts/purpose bound money conditions to provide cross-border payments and settlements with digital assets
- The eventual evolution of using UTC with different types of digital assets
- Identification of near-term collaborations between participants for UTC

This roundtable reflects Elevandi’s commitment to advancing adoption of frontier technologies.

In today's rapidly evolving financial landscape, the concept of tokenisation is helping to reshape traditional financial instruments issued by sovereign and corporate entities. The transformative potential is exemplified by several digital bonds issuances as part of Project Helvetia Phase III. Also, Project Promissa aims to tokenise promissory notes that are instrumental in raising funds for the World Bank and other International Financial Institutions.

The roundtable will bring together participants from the public and private sectors, the legal and regulatory community, and financial market infrastructures. It will explore the following aspects:
- The transformative impact of tokenising financial instruments, such as liquidity, accessibility, transparency, and efficiency.
- The multifaceted challenges of tokenisation, ranging from technical aspects such as security, privacy and interoperability, to regulation and compliance and coordination between diverse actors in the financial markets.

The objectives of this roundtable operating under the theme of Decoding Digital Assets and Payments are to i) understand the transformative impact of tokenisation and explore challenges and solutions, ii) promote collaboration and coordination between different stakeholders and iii) map the way forward by identifying opportunities and risks.
