Improving customer experiences is one of the key engines behind the growth of embedded finance. The new (old) approach to offering financial services typically associated with financial institutions such as banks and insurance companies is creating a world of opportunities for financial service providers and non-financial companies alike. It’s all about offering services when and where people need them.
- Embedded Banking – bank accounts and associated debit cards
- Payments Reinvented – A world beyond credit cards
- Can e-commerce retailers offer banking services?
- BNPLs innovations and challenges
- Can AI revolutionize lending?
- InsurThech – A brave new world
Coffee & Tea
We have seen in the last year some positive examples of asset tokenization. Does this trend open doors for traditional banks and financial and capital markets participants to offer their clients the opportunity to tokenize their current fixed-income and equity asset pools?
Tokens as collaterals? Is the new trend merging? Will tokenization allow access to new revenue streams available in the cryosphere and more specifically enable their clients’ tokenized assets to be used as collateral or for staking in DeFi transactions?
- Smart contracts – use case
- Regulated ReFi vs DeFi – trends and challenges
- Fueling the growth of DeFi: challenging traditional debt markets and the increase in tokenization of assets
- CBDCs vs stablecoins
