Just a reminder that I produce a monthly digest of digital fiat currency (DFC) developments exclusively for the official sector (e.g., central banks, ministries of finance and international financial institution (e.g., the BIS, IMF, OECD, World Bank)) plus academics and firms that are active in the DFC space (commercial banks, technology providers, consultants, etc.). (DFCs include central bank digital currency (CBDC), stablecoins and tokenized deposits.) It goes out via email on the first business day of every month, and if you’re interested in being on the mailing list, please email me at john@kiffmeister.com.
I would also like to take this opportunity to give a shout out to Stephen Phillips and Richard Turrin who produce excellent weekly summaries of fintech-related developments on LinkedIn. I heartily recommend following them:
- Stephen Phillips’s Digital Finance Insights: Weekly reading highlights on digital money and tokenized finance for policymakers and industry leaders.
- Richard Turrin’s Cashless: CBDC & Fintech with a focus on a Rising Asia & China. You can also follow Richard on X, where he reports on a real-time basis.
I would also be remiss not to mention Norbert Gehrke. Although he describes himself as a “Japan Fintech Observer he is way more than that. If you follow him on LinkedIn you will not miss much in the global Fintech arena.
Upcoming Speaking Engagements:
The Digital Euro Conference 2026 (Frankfurt, March 26) will explore the future of money with a focus on CBDCs, stablecoins, and commercial bank tokens. This hybrid event offers the perfect platform to understand the future of digital money! [Register here and get 20% off the regular ticket price by using the Kiffmeister20 code!]
