Point Zero Forum

AI has already reshaped how payments work. At #PointZeroForum2025, Sam Hinton-Smith (@stripe), pointed to fraud reduction as one example of what machine learning has delivered at scale across the payments stack. But the more consequential shift, he argued, is still ahead: agents that book, pay, and decide autonomously, and the infrastructure that needs to exist before that can happen at scale. That is the conversation #PointZeroForum2026 is built around. The architecture, governance, and commercial questions behind the next generation of agentic commerce are on the Forum Stage this June in Zurich. 🔗  Get your pass now: pointzeroforum.com/registration?u… 🔗  View the programme: lnkd.in/ghFXqVf6

The checkout is no longer human. Machines are already buying. AI agents start transacting, forcing a redesign of identity, trust and payments infrastructure. Stablecoins may be the rails, but control will sit with whoever owns the interface where decisions are made. That is where the next decade will be won. At Point Zero Forum, @Mastercard, Chief Product Officer, Jorn Lambert unpacks what it takes to build this system, in conversation with @gftn_official, Group CEO, Sopnendu Mohanty. 🔗 Get your pass now: pointzeroforum.com/registration?u… 🔗 View the programme: pointzeroforum.com/programme

Each year, #PointZeroForum partners with organisations to give delegates an inside look at the work happening across the city. The Innovation Tour offers direct access to leading companies and innovation labs for senior leaders from across the global finance and technology community. We are now looking for Zurich-based companies to host this June. If your organisation is doing work at the intersection of finance, technology, or infrastructure that is worth sharing with a senior international audience, we would like to hear from you: pointzeroforum.com/innovation-tou…

Real-time rails, ISO 20022, CBDCs, stablecoins, and B2B clearing infrastructure are all live simultaneously. Every layer of the global payments stack is being rebuilt at once, and they are not all pulling in the same direction. The architectural choices made in this window will shape how $320 trillion moves each year. Which infrastructure becomes the backbone, where the new rails interoperate, where they fragment, and who gets access are the questions being worked through right now. On the Forum Stage: Yolande Piazza (@PayPal), Mikkel Grønlykke (@BankingCircle), Shriyanka Hore (@swiftcommunity), Oscar Enrico Reyes Jr. (GXchange), and Tim Moncrieff (@Visa), moderated by Pat Patel (@gftn_official). 🔗 Get your pass now: pointzeroforum.com/registration?u… 🔗 View the programme: pointzeroforum.com/registration?u…

Most markets are still debating whether programmable money works. Switzerland skipped that step. Deposit tokens, stablecoins, and CBDCs are already in pilot across Swiss financial infrastructure. The question being answered in real time is how programmable money moves from the pilot stage to the infrastructure layer of everyday finance, and where each instrument serves a genuinely distinct use case rather than competing for the same ground. The architecture decisions being made in Switzerland today are a reference point for what the rest of the world will face next. On the Forum Stage: Frederik Gregaard (Cardano Foundation), Dr. Alexander Thoma (PostFinance), Stephanie K. Wickihalder (SFTI - Swiss Fintech Innovations), and Dr. Roman Studer (Swiss Banking), moderated by Stefan Grasmann (Zühlke Group). 🔗 Get your pass now: pointzeroforum.com/registration?u… 🔗 View the programme: pointzeroforum.com/programme?utm_…

Here is a first look at the organisations already registered for #PointZeroForum2026. The organisations joining us this June are the ones building, regulating, and deploying the financial system that will be on the stage. Three days of conversations that bring together the people making the decisions that matter. The Priority Rate for the Industry Pass closes 30 April. 🔗 Secure your place: pointzeroforum.com/registration?u… #PointZeroForum #PZF2026

The technology behind tokenized finance is largely proven. What comes next might be harder. The @monetary_imf put it directly in a note published this April. Tokenised finance will not be decided by who builds the best technology. It will be decided by who gets the design right. Settlement assets, legal frameworks, governance, interoperability. These are the conditions that separate pilots from infrastructure. The window to get this right is open. That conversation is happening in Zurich this June. 🔗 Read more: lnkd.in/ecwzE45Q 🔗 Get your pass now: pointzeroforum.com/registration?u… #PointZeroForum #PointZeroForum2026 #PZF2026

The commercial potential of tokenised finance is well established. What remains an open question is whether regulatory frameworks across jurisdictions can converge enough to allow it to scale. Sarah Breeden (@bankofengland) explored exactly that at Point Zero Forum 2025: what regulatory harmonisation in digital assets actually requires and what a path towards it could look like. A year on, with MiCA live and the GENIUS Act passed, that question has only grown more pressing. That conversation continues in Zurich this June: pointzeroforum.com/registration?u…

AI, tokenisation, and stablecoins are generating real revenue across payments, wealth management, treasury, trade finance, and supply chain. The commercial question in 2026 has shifted to how institutions build around these technologies at scale. Tokenised assets are reshaping how capital moves and settles. Stablecoins are becoming embedded in treasury and payments infrastructure. And as AI agents begin to transact autonomously, a new frontier is opening where machines are active participants in the economy.

Financial services has entered a new growth layer, defined by execution over experimentation. AI and stablecoins are generating measurable revenue across payments, treasury, wealth management, and trade finance. The institutions that capture this will be those that build with the right architecture and operating models in place. First of two lenses in Zurich this June. 🔗 bit.ly/4sJmohs #PointZeroForum #PZF2026

"Every bank needs a stablecoin strategy." @sytaylor said that at #PointZeroForum 2025. A year on, MiCA is live, the GENIUS Act has passed, and banks are beginning to position themselves. Simon returns this June to map out where it goes from here. 🔗 bit.ly/4mynbk3
