The global financial system is undergoing one of its most profound transformations in decades. In today’s panel discussion, industry leaders, fintech innovators, and policymakers explored how cross-border payments and digital asset tokenization are converging to reshape global finance.
From stablecoins to CBDCs, and from real-time rails to tokenized assets, the message was clear:
👉 The future of money is faster, programmable, and borderless.
🔹 The Present: A System Still Facing Friction
Despite technological progress, today’s cross-border payments ecosystem remains inefficient:
High transaction costs
Slow settlement times (often days)
Complex intermediary chains
Regulatory fragmentation
These inefficiencies stem largely from legacy correspondent banking systems and fragmented infrastructure. �

The crypto company Ripple plans to cooperate with the National Bank of Georgia on the issue of digitalization of the local economy using blockchain. To discuss this topic, we met with Ripple Executive Director James Wallis. Head of the National Bank of Georgia Natia Turnava and Head of the Department of Financial Technology Development and Bank Supervision Varlam Ebanoidze. According to the official statement of the National Bank, potential ways of “cooperation in the field of financial technology and digitalization” were explored at the joint event. This is not the first meeting between Ripple management and the Georgian authorities. In September 2023, the National Bank invited the company to participate in the digital lari project. It later became known that the company had been selected as an official partner for the development of a central bank digital currency (CBDC). In addition to Georgia, Ripple participates in CBDC pilot projects of the Central Banks of Colombia, Bhutan, Pulau, Montenegro and a number of other countries. At the end of 2023, the crypto company presented a 2-page document on the global development of a central bank digital currency. In it, Ripple stated that “CBDCs are critically needed to support the significant positive impact of asset tokenization.”

On June 14, the Bank of Ukraine published a public report under the title "Pinimaem paznoobazie i ppodvigaemcya vmecte - the results of 202Z and the digital currency of the central bank and crypto-currency Am». The Central Bank of Iceland has provided information to the public in 86 cases in the ppoktax #cbdc and the initiative in the oblati #cryptocurrencies .

The presidential candidate met with mining company executives and wrote that thanks to them, the US can maintain "energy dominance"; Mining company stocks surged following the statement.

Donald Trump, the leading presidential candidate for the Republican Party, expressed strong support for the American Bitcoin mining industry. In a post he shared on the social network Truth Social, which he owns, Trump argued that increasing local mining "may be our last line of defense against the central bank digital currency (CBDC)."

"​​Biden's hatred for Bitcoin only helps China, Russia, and the extreme communist left," Trump wrote. "We want all remaining Bitcoin to be mined in the United States! This will help us become dominant energy-wise."

The statement follows a meeting Trump held on Tuesday with executives from American Bitcoin mining companies CleanSpark and Riot Platforms, whose stocks are traded on NASDAQ. According to Bloomberg's report, Trump told participants that he "loves and understands digital currencies" and pledged to act on their behalf in the White House if elected. Following the meeting and Trump's statements, CleanSpark's stock (CLSK symbol) surged over 8%, while Riot Platforms' stock (RIOT symbol) climbed about 6% at the close of trading.

David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine, who attended the meeting, tweeted on his X account (formerly Twitter) that this was a "historic moment in our journey towards hyperbitcoinization." According to him, "the former and future president of the United States gathered the computing power dedicated to Bitcoin mining (hashrate) of America and committed to advancing our goal in Washington and globally. Bitcoin will flourish during the orange man's era and the orange currency."

This marks a shift in Trump's approach, as during his previous tenure as president, he expressed skepticism towards Bitcoin and digital currencies. It seems that towards the 2024 election cycle, he aims to position himself as a defender of the crypto industry and to differentiate himself from the current Democratic administration perceived as less friendly to the industry.

The tribute to miners joins other recent steps taken by Trump in the field, including a commitment to protect the right to self-custody of digital currencies, willingness to accept campaign donations in crypto, and issuing his own NFT collection.

While most bitcoins – about 19 out of 21 million coins – have already been mined, and the US already leads with a share of 35% to 40% of the global mining, Trump's statement of support is a significant political tailwind for the industry.

Now it remains to be seen whether these words will translate into policies that benefit Bitcoin miners in particular and the local crypto market in general. Nevertheless, it seems that the issue is expected to become another battleground between Republicans and Democrats in the race for the White House.

During the conversation, Donald Trump stated that he wants all remaining bitcoins to be mined in the United States, as this will help the country become dominant in the energy sector.

Biden's hatred of Bitcoin only helps China, Russia and the radical left communists.   We want all remaining bitcoin to be PRODUCED in the USA!!!
