The New Intersection of Money: Where TradFi and DeFi Converge

Welcome to the new era of finance. Welcome to the Intersection.

This straight-talking book from the global team at Money20/20 is your essential guide to the convergence of traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). It shows how digital assets, programmable money, and new regulatory frameworks are reshaping global financial infrastructure.

Inside, you will explore how regulation is unlocking scale across regions, how stablecoins and CBDCs power real time cross border settlement, how tokenization brings real world assets on chain, how digital identity and zero knowledge protect users, and how AI and real time rails transform the operating model of modern finance. The result is an integrated financial system built for speed, transparency, and resilience.

Whether you are a banking executive making real decisions about blockchain, stablecoins, and tokenization, a fintech founder building on both traditional and emerging rails, a regulator shaping the guardrails of the digital economy, or an investor scanning for the next structural shift, The New Intersection of Money gives you the insights, strategic guidance, and operating frameworks to lead with confidence.

Scarlett Sieber, Chief Strategy and Growth Officer at Money20/20 and bestselling author, leads the editorial team from Money20/20 working at the forefront of global fintech. For The New Intersection of Money, she is joined by Ian Fong, Tina Loncaric, Dhanum Nursigadoo, Virginia Pereira Alvarez, and Kinga Swiderska, senior leaders bringing experience and background from MENA, Asia, the US, Europe, and LATAM, offering a truly global perspective on the future of finance.
