Fed Payments Innovation Conference to Spotlight Crypto-Finance Convergence
The Federal Reserve's Payments Innovation Conference on October 21 will assemble Wall Street titans and crypto pioneers on Connecticut's Fishers Island. Ark Invest's Cathie Wood, BlackRock's Rob Goldstein, and Circle's Heath Tarbert headline discussions on digital asset evolution in global payments.
Tokenization and stablecoins dominate the agenda as TradFi and DeFi architectures increasingly intersect. The Fed signals particular interest in blockchain applications for cross-border settlements and financial inclusion—a tacit endorsement of distributed ledger technology's institutional potential.
