GDF Digital Payments Forum

​This webinar will provide an in-depth discussion on the evolving digital money ecosystem, examining key developments across stablecoins, tokenised deposits, and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). The session will explore where these models are converging and diverging in practice, the policy and regulatory considerations shaping their development, and the implications for payments, financial stability, and cross-border activity.

Bringing together perspectives from government, industry, and legal experts, the discussion will address key challenges in design and implementation, emerging use cases, and what’s needed to support responsible adoption at scale.

Speakers include William Morello (HM Treasury), Kyrsten Sinema (U.S. Senator, 2013–2025; Lawyer), and Elise Soucie Watts (Executive Director, Global Digital Finance). The webinar will be chaired by GDF Payments Forum Chairs Will Paul (Block) and John Salmon (Hogan Lovells).
