The Final Countdown!
Time left for the event days hours minutes seconds
The countdown doesn't work if the event start date is set to TBD

Tune in live here for the event livestream.

Innovations in fintech, payment systems and digital assets like stablecoins are quickly transforming the global financial landscape. While the U.S. has been slow to modernize its payments infrastructure and align on regulation for cryptocurrency and digital assets, this is a key priority for the Trump administration and a competitive interest for businesses large and small.

 

Join Axios for an event in Washington, D.C., convening finance, regulatory, business and tech leaders for conversations looking at the opportunities and challenges of modernizing U.S. payment systems with the goal of fostering one that’s more efficient, accessible and competitive.


7:30am | Doors open
8:00am - 8:30am | Mainstage conversations
