Instant Payments, Stablecoins & the Race to Reinvent Money
December 10 2025 | 2:00 PM EST
U.S. instant payments are accelerating fast. Banks must define their strategy now or risk losing relevance, falling behind competitors, and disappointing customers.
Global adoption of instant payments and stablecoins is raising expectations for speed, trust, and liquidity. With U.S. rails racing to catch up, this session explores how financial institutions can seize opportunities to innovate faster and stay relevant in this disruptive payments landscape.
U.S. instant payments hit critical mass, with nearly 80% of accounts now reachable via either RTP or FedNow. With two competing rails, many financial institutions are asking which they should support or if they must support both. Additionally new industry developments in Stablecoin driven by the GENIUS Act, bring forth the question of if there’s yet another rail for these banks to support.
This webinar will help executives understand why it’s so important for them to have a well-defined payments strategy going into 2026; and offer them key insights to help develop their strategies.
