The Future of Digital Money and Global Payments: Blockchain, Regulation and Cyber Resilience

The programme also includes careful consideration of cyber security, systemic resilience, and emerging risks such as quantum computing. It is designed for CEOs, Senior Executives, finance and legal professionals, and FinTech leaders working in financial services, regulated industries, or organisations with complex payment needs.

With no technical or blockchain background required, the programme is tailored for decision-makers who need to critically assess opportunities, manage risk, and make informed governance decisions.

Participants will explore how blockchain-based payment infrastructures work, and how different design approaches to digital money impact trust, regulation, and operational risk. Topics include CBDCs, stablecoins, mobile money, tokenised deposits, disruptive payment systems and challenges such as smart contract vulnerabilities and cryptographic dependencies.

Delivered by industry practitioners and leading academics from the University of Exeter, the programme combines real-world experience with academic expertise - equipping participants to understand not just what is possible, but what is practical, compliant, and scalable in today’s regulatory environment. Together, the delivery team brings a rare blend of theoretical rigour, regulatory credibility and practical experience building, governing and scaling real payment and digital finance systems.
