The Geneva-headquartered agency has earlier spoken sporadically about Bitcoin and other crypto-assets — even honored oracle service Chainlink as a rising tech player — and foresees the sector to have a positive impact on the world.

As per the “Davos Agenda” program session, called “Resetting Digital Currencies,” sees WEF blockchain and policy head Sheila Warren, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey, and Western Union CEO Hikmet Ersek take the stage for discussing digital currencies.

The agenda would revolve around the policies, practices, and partnerships are needed to leverage the opportunities posed by the rise of digital currencies. “COVID-19 has accelerated the long-term shift from cash. Meanwhile, central bank digital currencies are emerging, potentially transforming how people use money worldwide,” the event’s prospectus stated.

On the other hand, Thursday’s event sees Singapore minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Beijing’s National Institute of Financial Research chairman Zhu Min, CoinDesk’s chief content office Micheal Casey, and Overseas Development Institute chief executive Sara Pantuliano.
