🧵 Notes from @pointzeroforum 2026 in Zürich: the future of finance is being built on interoperability, cyber-resilience, and trust ▶️ but the panel on AI agents in finance was surprisingly bearish 👉️ buff.ly/nH8jNIq

Stablecoins can augment the financial system, not replace it. At @pointzeroforum, @ddisparte discussed how regulated digital currency infrastructure can expand competition and access while working alongside existing financial institutions.

Over a week ago, we wrapped up the fifth edition of Point Zero Forum. A new venue in the heart of Zurich, three full days of content for the first time, and a programme built around the questions institutions are actually working through. Over 1,500 attendees from 72 countries filled the Forum Stage, the roundtable rooms, and the corridors in between. Four themes emerged from those conversations: 🔸 A multipolar financial order is taking shape. Europe defines the regulatory standards, Asia accelerates deployment, and the United States anchors global liquidity. 🔸 Financial infrastructure is entering production. Stablecoins, tokenisation, AI, and quantum are moving beyond experimentation into scalable infrastructure. 🔸 Switzerland is positioning itself as a trusted bridge, connecting payments, securities, and compliance infrastructure. 🔸 Trust is becoming a system design challenge, as policymakers work to preserve monetary sovereignty and embed accountability into autonomous systems. To everyone who made the journey to Zurich, our speakers, sponsors, partners, and attendees, thank you for making the fifth edition what it was. These conversations continue at Singapore FinTech Festival (@sgfintechfest) and the Insights2040 Annual Meetings this November. 🔗 Register interest 2027: pointzeroforum.com/register-… 🔗 Singapore FinTech Festival: fintechfestival.sg/registrat… 🔗 Insights2040 Annual Meetings: gftn.co/insights2040annualme…

Speaking at @pointzeroforum, Mykolas Majauskas, Global Head of Policy at Bybit, highlighted a key reality for the industry: tokenization alone is not enough. The real objective is to build liquid markets where tokenized assets can be bought and sold efficiently, with sufficient depth, participation, and scale. Marketing content.

At the @pointzeroforum 2026 in Zurich, @MylesHarrison89, Chief Product Officer at AMINA Bank, joined leaders from @FireblocksHQ and @sygnumofficial at a workshop on “From Float to Yield: How Banks Can Integrate DeFi and Offer Stablecoin Yield Safely,” hosted by Fireblocks. The central takeaway was that technology and client demand are already aligned,the remaining challenge is regulation. Discussions focused on what differentiates institutional DeFi from retail DeFi and tokenised repo, and how regulatory frameworks can evolve to support permissioned models and bank participation in tokenised credit markets. Thank you to @FireblocksHQ for hosting and to everyone who joined the session. #PointZeroForum #SwissFintechWeek #Stablecoins #DeFi #DigitalAssets #InstitutionalFinance #Fireblocks #AMINA

Programmable money. Digital identity. Trust for AI agents. All three were on the table at @PointZeroForum last week, and we were part of the conversation. Here's the recap. 🧵

Quick forum recap of our Sygnum Bank team who attended @pointzeroforum at @ZurichConvCent / Zurich Convention Center earlier this week: 💡 Stablecoins are becoming a strategic topic as policymakers and industry participants assess their role in next-generation payment infrastructure 💡 Regulatory clarity remains a critical catalyst for innovation, institutional adoption and market confidence 💡 Tokenization is moving into implementation, with growing focus on real-world applications across capital markets and payments 💡 Digital asset adoption is increasingly institution-led, driven by demand for regulated, secure and trusted solutions 💡 Collaboration between the public and private sectors will be essential to build scalable and resilient financial infrastructure for the digital economy Thank you to Point Zero Forum and Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN) for convening such an important dialogue and to everyone who contributed their perspectives throughout the event.

A quick look at our workshop at @pointzeroforum. Christian Schmid (BCG), Sergio Mello, and Emanuele Rossi from our stablecoins team touched on how digital assets and tokenization can unlock new value for banks.

@adam3us on the Forum Stage at @pointzeroforum. Digital Assets at the Crossroads: tokenisation, shifting capital flows, and where the industry actually stands.

At @pointzeroforum, @JeanLucGUSTAVE, alongside @chainlink and European & Korean banking partners, introduced Project Pangea, while Vid Hribar joined industry leaders to discuss practical settlement models for tokenised markets. Two sessions. One goal: advancing interoperable digital financial infrastructure. #PZF2026 #Stablecoins #Tokenisation #CrossBorderPayments

Regulation is driving digital asset adoption. At @pointzeroforum, Yoyee Wang, Global Head of B2B at Bybit highlighted how stablecoins are becoming the working-capital layer of digital asset markets and why the future of tokenized finance depends on connecting bank money, stablecoins and tokenized funds. The future of finance is interconnected. #NewFinancialPlatform Investing in crypto-assets is associated with risks. This content constitutes a marketing communication from Bybit EU GmbH.

🇨🇭Earlier this week, the GeoEconomics Center was in Zurich for @pointzeroforum, where our senior director @joshualipsky moderated two panels, including a discussion with Circle’s @ddisparte on digital payments in Europe. Thank you to PZF and all panelists for a great conference!

Gran debate hoy en @pointzeroforum! La VP de Política Global de Hedera, Isadora Arredondo, se unió a líderes de @Barclays, @EuroclearGroup, @FireblocksHQ y @CLSGroup para explorar qué hace falta realmente para pasar de T+1 a una liquidación instantánea y siempre activa.

Great to be back at @pointzeroforum discussing how a global company navigates international regulation. Protecting consumers. Disclosures, AML, reserve and redemption standards for stablecoins….all legitimate. We support and abide by local requirements wherever we operate. Protectionism. Frameworks designed to lock out competition and protect incumbents. That’s not regulation. That's a moat. Guardrails will win the day, not walls.

What turns a trading venue into a settlement layer? Bybit's Global Head of Policy Mykolas Majauskas broke it down at @pointzeroforum "Building trust with users, regulators, and partners is the most valuable currency a financial institution can hold." #NewFinancialPlatform

Great conversations at @pointzeroforum. Our CEO @BBilowitzki joined industry leaders from @Blockstream, @elliptic, @Securitize, @BCG, and @GBBC_io to discuss the future of digital assets. The industry has moved beyond asking if digital assets will scale. The focus is now on building the infrastructure that makes digital assets and AI trusted, accountable, and ready for the next era.

A great few days at @pointzeroforum in Zurich. Thank you for having us. @adam3us spoke on Digital Assets at the Crossroads, and @blksresearch Director @n1ckler on the quantum threats to Bitcoin and Liquid, and the path to solving them. Onwards!

Yesterday, @sygnumofficial and Fidelity International welcomed clients and partners to LUX restaurant & bar at @ZurichConvCent to celebrate the launch of FILQ – Fidelity USD Digital Liquidity Fund token, issued by Fidelity International and powered by Sygnum’s Desygnate tokenization platform. More than 100 institutional investors joined Emma Pecenicic, Fidelity International Head of Digital Assets Distribution, Fatmire Bekiri, Sygnum Head of Tokenization, and Vanessa Robert, VP, Senior Credit Officer Funds & Asset Management at @moodysratings, for discussions on the future of digital liquidity management and the opportunities enabled by tokenized funds. "Capital markets are steadily moving towards an always-on model - and liquidity is evolving alongside them," noted Fatmire Bekiri. FILQ is the first digitally native liquidity fund to receive a Moody’s Aaa-mf assessment, offering investors a solution designed for modern liquidity management with 24/7 accessibility. A sincere thank you to our colleagues at Fidelity International and Sygnum whose collaboration made both the launch and event possible. And a very special thank you to all our guests for the insightful conversations, engagement and energy throughout the evening following a busy day at @pointzeroforum.

Today at the @pointzeroforum BWC Organizational Member @UBS hosted a session in Zurich with Group CEO Sergio P. Ermotti on AI adoption, job creation, and the future of global financial infrastructure. On the stakes of getting it right, Ermotti noted, "If we don't create growth alongside AI adoption, we won't be able to create the jobs needed for the future economy."

From digital assets to the future of global finance, the conversation today in Zurich was timely and wide-ranging. Alongside the @pointzeroforum, BWC and @circle welcomed policymakers, regulators, and industry leaders for an exchange on the evolving international monetary and financial system. Special thanks to @FinanceHammer, @natalyathakur, and @ddisparte for sharing their insights from the frontlines of innovation and policy.
