Cross-border Payments, Instant Settlement: Leveraging Stablecoins & Blockchain - Powered by XWeave

The curation of content and speakers was wholly managed by XWeave and does not reflect the views of the organisers or its staff.

As cross-border transactions grow increasingly complex, inefficiencies in existing payment rails continue to slow global commerce. This workshop explores how Project BLOOM is bringing industry leaders together to advance the future of payments through blockchain and stablecoin infrastructure - enabling faster, lower-cost, and fully auditable cross-border settlement.

Participants will:

  1. Gain a practical understanding of stablecoins and the real-world pain points they address.
  2. Learn how blockchain-based systems can improve transparency, speed, and efficiency in cross-border transfers.
  3. Collaboratively develop a foundational framework for a pilot initiative that can be brought to market in the coming months.

Join us to uncover how next-generation payment infrastructure can reshape global financial connectivity.
