BlockSec × Interlace: The Next Decade of Payments – Digital Currency, AI Agents, and the New Global Financial Order
Stablecoins are rewriting the underlying rules of cross-border settlements, AI Agents are beginning to initiate transactions and perform reconciliations on behalf of humans, and the global payment landscape is entering a new decade. On July 17, 2026, at 1:30 PM, BlockSec, in collaboration with Interlace, will host the "Next Decade of Payments" industry forum in Hangzhou. Focused on digital currencies, AI Agents, and the new global financial order, the forum invites payment institutions, top-tier VCs, stablecoin projects, wallets, and Web3 entrepreneurs to gather in Hangzhou and explore the opportunities and boundaries of the payment industry in the next decade.
Over the past two years, traditional payment institutions have accelerated their entry into the space. Stablecoins have compressed cross-border settlement times from "days" to "seconds," and 24/7 global coverage is redefining the boundaries of payments. Concurrently, AI Agents are beginning to possess the ability to autonomously initiate transactions and perform reconciliations. Regulatory frameworks in the US, Europe, Hong Kong, and Singapore are being implemented, shaping a new global financial order. Opportunities and challenges are two sides of the same coin. While enjoying technological dividends, compliance and security remain unavoidable core issues. This is precisely why BlockSec and Interlace are bringing industry partners together.
