FS Breakfast - Digital Money

Blockchain and crypto technologies are changing how banks, regulators and businesses think about money – and the pace is accelerating. As the UK moves towards bringing crypto‑assets within the regulatory perimeter from October 2027, it is essential for firms across financial services to understand the changes.

Join our Digital Assets specialist, Stephen Fishbourne, for a fireside chat with Austin Elwood, Digital Assets Industry Lead at NatWest, and Ali Moussavi, Head of Policy and International Strategy in the Bank of England’s Payments, Innovation and Fintech Directorate, exploring new forms of digital money, from tokenised deposits and stablecoins to forms of digital public money.

These technologies are moving from the periphery into the mainstream and are being explored or adopted by businesses across the financial services spectrum. Understanding where industry and regulators are heading has never been more important.

Set against the changing regulatory landscape in the UK, the discussion will cover:

• What these emerging forms of digital money are and why they matter now
• How they differ from each other and from existing payment systems
• What opportunities and risks these emerging forms present
• Their practical use cases and business implications
