We attended Money 20/20 Europe in Amsterdam to get a pulse on the industry. Here are the key takeaways and insights we gained from the conference.

Introduction

Cross Finance was honored to attend the Money 20/20 conference in Amsterdam in June 2024. Money 20/20 Europe focused on the future of finance, emphasizing technological innovation, regulatory changes, and strategic collaboration. Key topics included Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Centralized Finance (CeFi), banking innovations, interoperability, and payments.

Popular Themes of Money 20/20
