P2PFISY 2024

 

Background

 

We invite you to submit your original research contributions to the 10th P2P Financial Systems International Workshop (P2PFISY 2024). This year’s workshop will be held at the 25hours Hotel in Dubai on 16th – 17th October 2024.

The P2P Financial Systems Workshop (P2PFISY) is a cutting-edge international event which dates back to 2015 when it was kicked off at the Deutsche Bundesbank by Dr. Paolo Tasca. It is an international workshop bringing together industry leaders, regulators and scholars interested in Peer-to-Peer (P2P) and decentralised financial systems to share their experiences, research and policy analyses. P2PFISY is widely regarded as the premier Workshop for future of finance discussions and is attended by top academics, central bankers and innovators. Over the years, it has been supported and hosted by prestigious institutions, including the Federal Reserve, the Deutsche Bundesbank, the Bank of Italy, the European Central Bank, the Bank of England, the Bank of Canada, De Nederlandsche Bank.

Selected papers submitted to P2PFISY 2024 have the opportunity to be published in the prestigious journal Mathematical Finance (Editor Prof. Rama Cont, Oxford University). Submissions to Mathematical Finance will be subject to review by the Editorial Board.

 

Workshop Objective and Themes

 

P2PFISY 2024 will emphasise the evolving landscape of Decentralised Emerging Digital Technologies and their implications for:

  1. Stablecoins & Security Tokens
  2. Real World Asset Tokenization in the Financial Landscape and Real Estate Tokenization
  3. Central Bank Digital Currencies
  4. Sustainable Finance and ESG Integration
  5. Consumer Protection in the face of Generative AI 
  6. Financial Inclusion

This year's workshop will provide a platform for regulators, academics, and practitioners to delve deeper into the accelerating shift towards digital and decentralised financial systems. The event aims to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the ongoing transformation and to explore potential future developments, dynamics, and risks in order to foster a robust, integrated, and innovative financial landscape in Europe and around the world.

By focusing on themes such as stablecoins, CBDCs, and RWA tokenization, P2PFISY 2024 will explore the challenges and opportunities posed by the rapid digitisation of financial services. Additionally, the workshop will examine the increasing importance of sustainable finance and the integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in investment decisions, as well as the importance of consumer protection in decentralised environments, promoting financial stability and inclusion.

Through engaging discussions, insightful presentations, and collaborative networking opportunities, participants will gain valuable insights into the latest trends, best practices, and emerging solutions in the field of decentralised finance and digital technologies.
