Martin Hargreaves, Chief Product Officer, Quant
Martin will share how lessons learnt from Quant’s work on the digital Pound and the Regulated Liability Network (UK) have informed the company’s vision for the future of money. By connecting existing banking systems with new networks and integrating logic into digital payments, many opportunities and use cases present themselves. Commercial banks can generate new revenue lines by offering programmable payments to their retail and enterprise customers while, in capital markets, issuers can access new liquidity pools and mitigate risk with instant settlement on digital asset transactions. The money of the future will be smarter, more useful, and more purposeful.
