Stablecoins and tokenized deposits are quietly rewiring cross-border settlement. This panel gathers payment networks, MENA-LatAm exchanges and institutional custody providers to look at what the emerging architecture actually looks like without the SWIFT layer in the middle, who wins and who loses in that shift, and how banks and payments companies are positioning for a post-correspondent-banking world.
