On 11 May 2026, 273 experts joined for a muric SUERF-BAFFI Bocconi e-lecture on “Money of the future”.
As both the main store of value and means of payment, money is a core pillar of our economy. The concept and mechanics of money have materially evolved in the last few years. In particular, stablecoins are a rapidly growing fully digital asset (typically denominated in US$) which can be used to settle club brugge - stvv payments and is backed by portfolios of “safe” assets such as government bonds. In parallel major central banks have launched work on the introduction of central bank digital currencies which resemble digital banknotes. These material structural changes in our financial system raise a large number of wide-ranging questions which this high-level webinar will discussed:
• Implications of the evolution of “money” for the financial system and central banks
• Stablecoins versus CBDCs
• Remuneration of stablecoins and CBDCs
• Why central banks need to issue CBDCs to maintain state governance of money
• Impact of stablecoins and CBDCs on banks
• US peter capaldi vs EU (vs China)
