Highlights from the floor at Surfin' Bitcoin, care of our MD for BCB Europe, Jérôme PRIGENT, who attended the annual event for the French and European #Bitcoin ecosystem this week. Mastercard's Christian Rau joined Karima Lachgar, Groupe Olky, and Michel KHAZZAKA, alongside moderator Raphaël Bloch, co-founder at The Big Whale, to discuss the role of #blockchain in #payments. Fantastic to hear the panel cover how #innovation is accelerating developments in the industry as we are seeing the worlds of tradfi and digital finance move closer together. This aligns with our BCB vision - A world where digital and traditional finance seamlessly integrate, transforming the landscape of global finance for all 🌎 Thanks to everyone on stage for their powerful insights into how #crypto and blockchain can be used to evolve payments and the future for the industry.

What is interoperability and why is it important? It's something BCB Group champions as a hot topic for the industry. As financial services firms continue to evolve, the importance of interoperability will only grow. By embracing its significance and leveraging both blockchain and non-blockchain technologies, financial institutions can navigate the complexities involved and unlock new financial products and services for their clients, while at the same time, expanding to geographies that were previously out of reach.
