The event will discuss a variety of topics, such as the workings of public and private realtime payment systems (FedNow and RealTime Payments) alongside cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, central bank digital currencies and more. This event is a part of the Series on Financial Markets and Regulation from the Center on Regulation and Markets.
