​Payments, Treasury & Tokenization Summit 2026

​The Payments, Treasury & Tokenization Summit is an invitation-only executive gathering bringing together senior leaders who are shaping how institutions move money, manage liquidity and invest in financial infrastructure.

​Convened by 8 Circle, XDC and PwC, in collaboration with Microsoft, the summit will take place during Singapore TOKEN2049 Week, with MetaLabs serving as Technology Partner.

​The summit will explore the convergence of agentic payments, programmable money, intelligent treasury, tokenized financial infrastructure and institutional liquidity.

​This is not a broad industry conference. It is a deliberately curated room of decision-makers, including banking and payments executives, CFOs and treasurers, enterprise technology leaders, and senior risk, compliance and security professionals. Every participant is selected for their decision-making authority, ownership of infrastructure or budgets, active strategic priorities and ability to contribute to substantive executive dialogue.

• ​Agentic payments and machine-initiated transactions

• ​AI-enabled treasury, liquidity forecasting and FX management

• ​Programmable money and conditional settlement

• ​Tokenized deposits, funds and real-world assets
