Roundtable Room 1 (Level 2)
Re-thinking payment controls in a blockchain and tokenized world
Traditional AML/CFT frameworks for cross-border payments were built around correspondent banking, a model that relies on centralised oversight and intermediary controls. However, the rise of payment tokens on blockchain introduces greater transparency, real-time traceability, and enhanced enforcement capabilities—enabling regulators and financial institutions to detect, monitor, and act on illicit activity more efficiently than ever before. As the global financial system undergoes a paradigm shift toward tokenized payments, it is crucial to re-examine payment control mechanisms in this new landscape.Wednesday, May 7th 10:00-11:00am

Workshop Room 1 (Level 3)
Scaling Trust: The Future of Digital Assets and Transaction Processing in a Regulated and Interoperable World

Powered by IBM. Join us for a vivid discussion among financial system pioneers on the challenges for delivering digital assets at scale, followed by an exclusive deep dive into IBM’s cutting-edge digital asset technologies and ecosystem collaborations.

As Europe faces a defining moment—balancing the urgent demand for regulatory clarity, digital sovereignty, and innovation-driven growth—Point Zero Forum brings together over 2,000 global leaders from central banks, government agencies, and the technology and financial sectors. Together, we will explore how to responsibly scale technologies like blockchain, digital identity, and decentralized systems in service of resilient, inclusive, and transparent financial systems.

At LF Decentralized Trust, we believe that open source, cryptographically secure, and collaboratively governed technologies are essential building blocks for digital trust. This forum is an opportunity to elevate open innovation and policy collaboration to address global challenges—from financial fragmentation to systemic inefficiencies—through secure, scalable, and interoperable solutions.

We invite technologists, policymakers, and ecosystem builders to engage with us in Zurich as we help shape the standards and frameworks that will define the next generation of digital public infrastructure.
