The Future of Money: Digital Assets, Regulation, and the Rewiring of Global Finance

As digital assets move from the edge of finance to the center of global economic strategy, the stakes are no longer just technological, they’re systemic. In this Main Stage fireside chat, Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, joins Francis X. Suarez, President & Board Director of eMerge Americas and former Mayor of Miami, to explore how blockchain infrastructure, regulatory clarity, and institutional crypto adoption are reshaping the future of money. From cross-border payments to the rise of stablecoins, the conversation will examine how financial systems are being rebuilt in real time and how public and private sector leaders are navigating one of the most consequential financial transformations of our time. As cities like Miami position themselves at the forefront of this shift, who will lead the next era of global finance and what will define the winners?
