> the frame for the whole forum: europe regulates, asia builds, the us scales liquidity, and whoever owns the settlement asset owns the rails
> antoine martin (
@SNB_BNS) opened by saying central banks aren’t the innovators and the private sector has to step in
> zurich was very hot, the kongresshaus aircon did not survive day one
> project agorá took over the roundtables, 8 central banks and 40+ institutions all asking if tokenization fixes cross-border without breaking the banking system
> the recurring obsession was settlement, everyone wants T+1 to go instant and nobody’s there yet
> matcha game was weak this year, sort it out for day three
> stablecoins everywhere, anchorage (
@sergiofly) on tokenized deposits, circle on stage, and the reminder that 97% of the market is still dollar
> “agentic economy” got its panels but it was all identity and trust, near zero on actual m2m payments
> met old friends
