Digital Money 2026 Recap

On 10 June 2026, the Digital Money 2026 event in London brought together senior figures from banking, central banking, payments and technology to examine whether stablecoins are entering a bubble phase or reshaping cross-border finance, whether central bank digital currencies have lost momentum or remain strategically necessary, and whether tokenised deposits could ultimately provide a lower-risk foundation for digital money, with discussions spanning regulation, monetary sovereignty, settlement infrastructure, interoperability, and the evolving role of banks and central banks in a multi-rail financial system.
