Amsterdam delivered. Three days of dense conversations, familiar faces, and a few themes that kept surfacing regardless of who we were talking to. The infrastructure question is getting sharper If there was one shift noticeable across the event, it was this: the industry is less interested in debating what future payment infrastructure should look like, and more focused on what it takes to actually build and deploy it. Tokenized deposits came up repeatedly – but the nature of

Enabling Corporate Liquidity Movement Across Digital Assets

Centiglobe had a chat with Panagiotis Kriaris – fintech leader, payments thinker, and Head of Corporate & Business Development at Unzer – to get straight answers on the structural issues the industry keeps talking around. – We tend to treat cross-border payments as a speed and cost problem.

The focus is on solutions that: Work within existing regulatory

A quick explainer on how stablecoins, single-bank tokenized deposits, and network-based tokenized deposits differ, and why that matters for cross-border payments.
