Wall highlighted how these models are being integrated into existing financial systems, particularly across settlement, <span>liquidity<\/span>, and regulatory design.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cPolicy is no longer trailing innovation; it is actively defining what gets built, who participates, and how these systems scale,\u201d said Wall. \u201cReal progress will depend on how effectively we bridge decentralized and traditional finance. We\u2019re grateful to PayCLT for convening these discussions and helping shape that foundation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The Programmable Economy: AI &amp; <span>Blockchain<\/span> Redefining Markets conference, co-hosted by Cornell <span>Blockchain<\/span>, <span>Blockchain<\/span> Builders, <span>Blockchain<\/span> at Cornell Tech, and the Cornell Tech AI Society, brought together students, operators, and technologists to examine the real-world impact of AI, <span>blockchain<\/span>, finance, and government. Molly Woodman, Senior Policy Advisor at DSA, spoke on the \u201cNext Gen Payments\u201d panel alongside Andres Lamothe, Director of Partnerships at MoonPay; Jolie Kahn, CEO of AVAX One; and S\u00e9bastien Badault, VP of <span>Metaverse<\/span>\/ <span>Web3<\/span> Strategy at Ledger. The session was moderated by Jeff Rundlet, CFA, Head of Accounting Strategy at Cryptio, and explored emerging trends across payments infrastructure and digital asset markets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201c <span>Stablecoins<\/span> are already being used across wallets, payment rails, and settlement processes,\u201d said Woodman. \u201cThe focus is now on how these systems integrate with existing financial infrastructure while addressing questions around interoperability, trust, and regulatory alignment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">With increasing institutional focus on <span>stablecoins<\/span>, settlement efficiency, and programmable finance, these conversations come at a critical moment in the evolution of payments infrastructure. As digital assets continue to move into mainstream financial use, DSA remains committed to advancing research, fostering dialogue, and supporting policy frameworks that enable responsible innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>About Digital Sovereignty Alliance<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The Digital Sovereignty Alliance (DSA) is a nonprofit social welfare organization committed to advocating for public policies that support ethical innovation in decentralized technologies, <span>blockchain<\/span>, <span>cryptocurrency<\/span>, <span>Web3<\/span>, and artificial intelligence.
