Crunchfish’s message at OMFIF’s inaugural DMI symposium – Will banks need to change their infrastructure as cash becomes digitized?

2021-04-26|

Crunchfish will be exhibiting and presenting at OMFIF’s inaugural Digital Monetary Institute symposium and challenge the prevailing perception that bank infrastructure must change as cash becomes digitized. Cash can either be digitized as a new currency, using existing payment systems, or as a new format, requiring large investments in the banking sector. In the iconic scene from the 1999 blockbuster The Matrix, Neo realised that he must choose between the red and the blue pill. Central Banks have a fundamental choice of how to digitize cash that will have an enormous impact on the bank infrastructure in their countries. Joachim will present on the first day of the symposium, April 28, at 15:45 CET.

OMFIF’s inaugural DMI Symposium, arranged on April 28-29, will have “Central Banks and Digital Currencies – a revolution in money” as its main theme. Crunchfish will exhibit and make a presentation on the first day of the symposium, April 28, at 15:45 CET on the theme Will banks need to change their infrastructure as cash becomes digitized?

Policy, finance and technology professionals may register using business credentials. It is arranged by Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum (OMFIF), which is a membership network of central banks, funds and professional banking and payment services, that provides a neutral platform for public and private sector engagements worldwide.
