The Always-On Bank: What It Takes to Get On-Chain Money into Production

35 min

As tokenized deposits and stablecoins move into production, banks must settle, lend and manage liquidity around the clock. Most core systems, operating models and risk frameworks were never built for that. In this session, executives from banks running live on-chain programs share what it really took to get there.

Tokenized Deposits vs. Stablecoins: Running the Business Case in Production

35 min

Digital money is now a balance-sheet decision. With the GENIUS Act framework taking shape and stablecoin volumes climbing, banks face a vital choice: issue tokenized deposits, launch a stablecoin subsidiary, join a stablecoin consortium (such as The Global 21-Bank Stablecoin Consortium or European bank consortium Qivalis), partner with an established issuer, or pursue more than one path. Each carries different implications for funding costs, capital, customer relationships and regulatory exposure.

Working Group Building the ON-CHAIN Business Case: Strategic Prioritization and Capital Allocation

1 hr

On-chain finance is moving from pilot to production, yet many companies still face key business decisions, notably what to prioritize strategically and how to allocate capital to achieve the desired outcome. As opportunities multiply across payments, stablecoins, tokenized deposits and assets, collateral, treasury and programmable finance, institutions must decide where to invest. The challenge is determining where on-chain capabilities solve a meaningful customer or institutional problem, create measurable economic value and strengthen—or protect—a strategic position. The working group will develop a framework for evaluating competing opportunities, quantifying the business case and sequencing investment, with the goal of identifying the two or three capabilities an institution should prioritize, fund and scale over the next 12–36 months—and what it should deliberately leave to others.

Working Group Who Controls the Stack? Deciding What to Own, Partner For—or Cede

1 hr

As financial activity moves on-chain, institutions face a strategic question that goes beyond whether to build or buy technology: What must they control to protect their economics, customer relationships and competitive position? TradFi companies will operate within an increasingly interconnected ecosystem of blockchain networks, stablecoin issuers, custodians, wallet providers, fintechs, exchanges, AI platforms and infrastructure companies. The working group will map where value and strategic control are likely to accrue across the emerging financial stack and determine which capabilities institutions should own, where partnerships can accelerate scale and innovation, and where dependence on third parties could create unacceptable strategic risk.

Multi-Rail Reality: Orchestrating Cards, Real-Time Payments and Stablecoins in One Stack

35 min

The future of payments is many rails running side by side. Cards, ACH, FedNow, RTP, stablecoins and tokenized deposits increasingly coexist within the same institution, and customers expect instant, low-cost, transparent payments no matter what moves underneath. The competitive edge now lies in orchestration: deciding which rail each payment should take, and making the whole system work as one.

Seconds, Not Days: Scaling Stablecoin Cross-Border Corridors

35 min

Cross-border payments are where on-chain money is proving its value fastest. Stablecoin corridors now move funds in seconds instead of days, at a fraction of the cost and with full transparency. Growth is coming from fintechs and crypto-native firms, and it is putting pressure on the correspondent banking model that has long anchored banks’ role in global money movement.

When the Payer Is an Agent: Agentic Commerce and Machine-to-Machine Payments

35 min

The next customer to initiate a payment may not be a person. AI agents are beginning to shop, procure, pay invoices and transact with other machines on behalf of consumers and businesses. Today’s payment systems were built around human intent, authentication and disputes, and that assumption is starting to fail.

Examiner-Ready: Compliance as Code for Production On-Chain Programs

35 min

Institutions won’t scale on-chain finance until they’re confident it will stand up to supervisory scrutiny. As programs move from pilot to production across banking, payments, capital markets and asset management, compliance is shifting from after-the-fact review to controls built directly into the infrastructure. Identity becomes portable, monitoring becomes continuous, and rules execute in code alongside the transactions they govern.

AI on the Balance Sheet: Agentic Treasury, Programmable Lending and Automated Collateral

35 min

As money becomes programmable, the decisions behind it are becoming autonomous. AI agents are starting to optimize liquidity, move collateral, price credit and execute treasury operations in real time, working alongside, and increasingly ahead of, human teams. For banks, the competitive edge is shifting from processing transactions to controlling the intelligence that decides how and when they happen.

Collateral That Moves Itself: Atomic Settlement, Intraday Repo and Trapped Capital

35 min

Settlement cycles measured in days hold back trillions of dollars in collateral and capital. Tokenization, programmable collateral and atomic settlement are compressing those cycles to seconds. Assets and cash change hands simultaneously, collateral moves where it’s needed in real time, and counterparty risk shrinks. Capital markets are where on-chain finance’s impact on the balance sheet is most measurable.This session will bring together dealers, banks, market infrastructure providers and tokenization platforms running collateral and repo transactions on-chain. They’ll discuss tokenized collateral mobility across counterparties and venues, intraday and overnight repo, margin efficiency, and how smart contracts automate substitution, margin calls and settlement.

Born On-Chain: Native Issuance and the Full Securities Lifecycle

35 min

Tokenization’s first wave wrapped existing assets in digital form. The next wave originates securities natively on-chain, with issuance, ownership records, compliance and servicing built into the instrument itself from day one. That shift moves value away from traditional custody and processing and toward origination, distribution and lifecycle management.

Working Group Building a Roadmap to Scale 24/7 Programmable Finance

1 hr 10 min

Moving on-chain initiatives from controlled pilots to production exposes a harder challenge: integrating always-on, programmable financial infrastructure into institutions built around legacy technology, operating models and controls. Scaling requires more than blockchain connectivity. It demands changes across core systems, data, treasury and liquidity management, reconciliation, custody, risk, compliance and organizational accountability. This working group will identify the technology and operating-model dependencies that stand between experimentation and scaled deployment—and develop a roadmap for building an institution capable of moving money and assets continuously, securely and across both traditional and on-chain infrastructure.

Working Group Governing Autonomous Finance: Designing the New Control Layer

1 hr 10 min

As money and assets become programmable and financial activity moves toward 24/7 execution, traditional control models built around reviewing, reconciling and monitoring transactions after the fact will increasingly be insufficient. Identity, permissions, compliance, risk parameters and transaction policies will need to operate in real time—and, in some cases, be embedded directly into the transaction itself. With AI agents capable of initiating and executing financial activity added into the mix, the governance challenge becomes even more significant. This working group will examine how institutions redesign trust and control for programmable finance, determining who and what is authorized to transact, under which rules, with what degree of autonomy—and how accountability is maintained when transactions execute automatically.

Interoperability or Islands? Connecting Public Chains, Permissioned Networks and Legacy Market Infrastructure

35 min

On-chain finance is scaling, but it is scaling in pieces. Assets and liquidity are spread across public blockchains, private and permissioned networks, and the legacy market utilities that still anchor clearing and settlement. Without reliable connections between them, tokenization risks recreating the silos it promised to eliminate. The firms that can link these systems securely and at scale are becoming indispensable to how markets function.

Tokenized Funds as Cash and Collateral: Scaling Money Market and Treasury Funds in Production

35 min

Tokenized money market and Treasury funds are blurring the line between an investment and cash. They earn yield, move around the clock, and are increasingly accepted as collateral on exchanges, in derivatives margining and in on-chain lending. In on-chain finance, this is where asset management and the money layer are converging fastest, and it puts asset managers in direct competition with banks for corporate and institutional cash.

Private Markets On-Chain: Origination, Distribution and Liquidity for Private Credit and Alternatives

30 min

Private credit, real estate, infrastructure and other alternatives have long been reserved for institutions and the ultra-wealthy, held back by high minimums, manual servicing and limited liquidity. Tokenization is opening these markets to a much wider base of investors through fractional ownership, digital distribution and automated lifecycle management. As access expands, asset managers will compete less on product selection and more on data, intelligence and distribution, and bank wealth franchises are the distribution channel everyone wants.

Who Owns the Stack? Multi-Layer Control and the Next Market Structure

35 min

The boundaries between banking, payments, capital markets and asset management are dissolving as money, assets and execution become programmable. A new financial stack is taking shape across five control layers: money, assets, execution, connectivity and trust. The institutions that control several layers at once will set market structure, capture margin and own the customer relationship. Banks, asset managers, infrastructure providers and crypto-native firms are now competing, and partnering, to decide who sits where.
