The future of banking is being shaped today by digital assets, stablecoins, tokenization and blockchain—technologies that are redefining how money moves, how assets are exchanged, and how financial services are delivered.
In this exclusive conversation at the Blockchain Futurist Conference, Toronto, Babu Nair, Founder of Financial Technology Frontiers, sits down with Brian Ford, Senior Vice President, Business Solutions & Digital Assets at ATB Financial, to explore one of the most significant transformations underway in global finance.
Drawing on his leadership in digital assets, Brian shares practical insights into the convergence of traditional banking and decentralised finance, the rise of stablecoins as the next generation of payment infrastructure, the growing role of tokenized deposits, and the opportunities tokenization presents across banking, capital markets and international trade. The discussion also examines digital sovereignty, the importance of enabling regulation, and why close collaboration between regulators, financial institutions and industry is essential to building a trusted digital financial ecosystem.
Whether you are a banking executive, fintech innovator, policymaker, investor or technology leader, this interview offers valuable perspectives on the innovations, opportunities and strategic priorities that will shape the future of financial services.
