What makes money, money? Ensuring trust in the next generation financial ecosystem
Summary
On 24 June 2026, Andréa M. Maechler, Deputy General Manager of the Bank for International Settlements, is scheduled to address the Point Zero Forum in Zurich about maintaining trust as money and financial assets become increasingly tokenised and move onto digital platforms. Her remarks will examine what makes money trustworthy, the potential role of stablecoins, and whether tokenisation can strengthen rather than disrupt the existing two-tier monetary architecture. The speech is presented as part of the BIS’s broader research supporting policymakers on digital money.

Biblical Context
No strong biblical connection is identified in the supplied text. Although the speech discusses trust and money, it does not address a specifically biblical doctrine, moral question, religious claim, or event described in Scripture. Broad themes such as stewardship or the dangers of misplaced trust could be applied to financial technology generally, but that would be an indirect and non-specific application rather than a material biblical connection to this article.
