In an increasingly dynamic financial services landscape, payments has remained at the forefront of innovation. Emerging technology is driving both traditional payment methods and creating new pathways for us to transact seamlessly, safely and instantaneously across borders. Cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and tokenised deposits are no longer just alternatives—they're reshaping the way corporate and retail payments operate. Cryptocurrency with its borderless reach, stablecoins with more transactional certainty and tokenised deposits with the backing of traditional banking rails. But which will emerge as the dominant force in the payments ecosystem?
A trilogy of debates between Team Banking and Team Crypto was fought across the Point Zero Forum 2023 and the Singapore FinTech Festival 2023, culminating in a grand finale at the Point Zero Forum 2024. At the Singapore FinTech Festival 2024, we debut a fresh chapter in this ongoing discussion—featuring familiar crowd-favourite speakers but with a brand-new, roulette-style format. Industry experts will pose their toughest questions to our speakers, sparking fresh insights on which system is poised to dominate the evolving payments landscape.
Which contestant will score the most points with the audience – you decide.
