Webinar: Tuesday, July 14, 2026 at 2:00 ET

Just when many financial institutions are getting comfortable with instant payments, a new question is emerging: What happens when money itself becomes programmable? For financial institutions, the challenge is not deciding between instant payments and stablecoins. It's understanding how today's modernization decisions will determine the ability to compete tomorrow.

On July 14, 2026, at 2:00 ET, join Banking Exchange for a discussion featuring Alacriti’s Mark Majeske, SVP of Faster Payments, and Divyarani Raghupatruni, Senior Director of Product, Data, and Orchestration, as they explore how financial institutions can prepare for the future of money movement without losing sight of today's priorities.

The discussion will cover:

  • How instant payments are laying the groundwork for digital money
  • Why stablecoins are gaining momentum with recent regulatory developments
  • How leading institutions are overcoming common payments modernization roadblocks
  • What it takes to support both real-time payments and digital assets
  • Steps to prepare for emerging payment rails while maximizing existing investments

Please note: All registrants will receive a copy of the webinar playback.

Webinar: How Banks and Fintechs Are Building the New Payments Stack

Tuesday, June 30, 2026, 1:00 PM ET

As digital assets move into the mainstream, banks, fintechs, and payment providers are focused on a new challenge: how to build and scale products that deliver real business value.

In this session, Cross River and Fireblocks will explore how leading organizations are bringing digital asset products to market, the infrastructure decisions that shape growth and speed-to-market, and the lessons learned from teams building at scale today. From wallet architecture and custody models to vendor strategy and regulatory considerations, we'll discuss the foundational choices that can accelerate innovation — or create friction down the road.

Whether you're evaluating a new offering or scaling an existing program, you'll leave with a practical framework for understanding how digital asset infrastructure impacts business outcomes.
