On December 9th, 2025, Exponential Science Co-founder and Chairman Paolo Tasca delivered a keynote address at the UK Chinese Bankers’ Association Annual Dinner at the historic Fishmongers’ Hall in London, exploring the rapidly evolving landscape of digital currencies and the future of global finance.

He examined the transformation of the global financial system in the age of blockchain-based infrastructures, introducing the concept of a multichain financial system order. Tasca argued that future monetary power will be shaped less by a single dominant currency and more by interoperable digital rails, governance frameworks, and technological resilience. His remarks highlighted the evolving relationship between CBDCs and stablecoins, advocating coexistence and interoperability between public and private forms of digital money, while underscoring the strategic importance of international coordination and standards in shaping the next phase of global finance.
