'The new form of digital money. Not a mere technological innovation' by Fabrizio Zennaro
26 January 2024, 17:30 CET - Phinance Online Seminars
The evolution of new forms of digital money has spanned over a decade. Technological innovation has been a crucial driver of this development. However, Fabrizio Zennaro posits that while cryptoassets have been central, they don't function solely as digital currencies but represent an evolutionary step in monetary instruments. To comprehend this phenomenon and envision future scenarios, an analysis of money's mechanics from a technical-monetary standpoint becomes imperative. These analytical tools aid in framing the impact of technological innovation, both in the private and public realms of digital currency. Such an exposition reveals that technology isn't the sole factor driving innovation. Market competition and regulatory responses also wield considerable influence, intertwined with technology. By adopting this perspective, Fabrizio contends that envisioning the future of digital currencies should consider the importance of the demand for money functionalities alongside the direct and reflexive impacts of regulation.
An open debate follows the meeting.
