BlockSec × Interlace: The Next Decade of Payments – Digital Currency, AI Agents, and the New Global Financial Order
Stablecoins are rewriting the fundamental rules of cross-border settlement, and AI Agents are beginning to initiate transactions and conduct reconciliations on behalf of humans. The global payments landscape is entering a new decade. On July 17, 2026, at 13:30, BlockSec, in collaboration with Interlace, will host the "Next Decade of Payments" industry forum in Hangzhou. Centered around digital currencies, AI Agents, and the new global financial order, the forum brings together payment institutions, top-tier VCs, stablecoin projects, wallet providers, and Web3 entrepreneurs in Hangzhou to explore the opportunities and boundaries of the payments industry for the next decade.
Over the past two years, traditional payment institutions have accelerated their entry, stablecoins have compressed cross-border settlement from "days" to "seconds," and 24/7 global coverage is redefining the boundaries of payments. Concurrently, AI Agents are gaining the ability to autonomously initiate transactions and perform reconciliations. Regulatory frameworks in the US, Europe, Hong Kong, and Singapore are being rolled out, shaping a new global financial order. Opportunities and challenges are two sides of the same coin. While enjoying the benefits of technology, compliance and security remain core unavoidable issues – precisely why BlockSec and Interlace are bringing industry partners together.
