Stablecoins and real-time payments are moving money faster than ever, yet many institutions are still sorting out what those terms actually mean. In this session, industry experts and banking peers will start with simple, grounded definitions, then expand into what these innovations look like in practice. Alongside liquidity, portfolio impacts, fraud, compliance, and operational readiness, we will explore areas the audience may be eager to understand: how Bitcoin lending can work in a regulated banking environment, how institutions can offer liquidity to holders of Bitcoin, and how these activities could introduce new revenue opportunities within loan portfolios. We will also discuss how tokenized deposits can enable faster payments and seamless asset transfers via smart contracts. The conversation is designed to cut through the hype and provide clear, real‑world considerations so teams across the institution can prepare for what’s next—without assuming immediate adoption.
