The CB+DC Conference 2025 is organized in collaboration with the Central Bank of The Bahamas and brings together leading experts to discuss CBDCs, stablecoins, tokenized assets, cross-border payments, and financial inclusion. Over three days, participants will exchange insights, showcase innovations, and set priorities for the future of digital currencies.

On Wednesday morning, September 10, CEO Joachim Samuelsson, will deliver a presentation on the theme Rethinking Retail Payments - Respecting the Roles and Responsibilities in the Payment Ecosystem highlighting the company's vision for the evolution of digital currencies and how Crunchfish's innovative Digital Cash solution allow central banks with CBDC payment networks deliver the ability to receive and settle layer-2 payments, whilst banks and payment application providers equip end-users with secure layer-2 to make payments. This natural separation of responsibilities creates resilience, scalability, interoperability, flexibility and a healthy competition within the payment ecosystem.

"We're entering a transformative phase for the global financial ecosystem. CBDCs are not just a technological shift, they represent a structural change in how societies manage money - and Crunchfish is proud to be part of driving that change and making it more resilient and interoperable." says Joachim Samuelsson, Crunchfish's CEO.

On Tuesday afternoon, September 9, Crunchfish is shortlisted for the Focused Innovation Award. This recognition highlights the company's innovative approach, impact on the industry, and contribution to advancing CBDC adoption globally.

On Thursday morning, September 11, Joachim Samuelsson will join industry leaders in a panel discussion on Interoperability & Standardization. The discussion will explore the critical role of interoperability and standardization in fostering a cohesive digital currency ecosystem. It will examine the challenges and opportunities presented by fragmented infrastructures, differing technical protocols, and regulatory asymmetries across jurisdictions. The panel will also highlight current efforts toward establishing technical and governance standards.
