Are traditional banking rails becoming obsolete? An honest look at the costs, risks, and the emerging hybrid future of global finance.

Designed for financial executives, corporate treasurers, compliance officers, and legal counsel, the session evaluates the mechanics of moving value versus verifying permission.
