What role can blockchain play in the future of cross-border payments?  

 

In this episode of Markets Plus, Yaya Jata Fanusie, former CIA officer, Visiting Fellow at Georgetown University and Global Head of Policy at the Aleo Network Foundation, joins Tisha Dey, Director, Global Transaction Banking, Technology, BMO Capital Markets, for a fireside chat from the 2026 MoneyLive North America event in Chicago.  

 

They explore how distributed ledger technology (DLT) could address longstanding challenges in cross-border payments, how it may coexist with traditional correspondent banking, and what financial institutions need to consider as they balance innovation with regulatory, compliance and AML requirements.
