The global financial system is on the verge of a major transformation. While domestic payments in many countries have become fast, seamless, and available around the clock, cross-border transactions remain slow, fragmented, and dependent on outdated infrastructure.

In this episode of ATP, Naveen Mallela, Global Co-Head of Kinexys at JPMorgan Chase, explored what “Finance Without Borders” could look like in a world that increasingly demands instant, global, and seamless value exchange.

Some of the topics Naveen covered in detail include:

In a world where commerce never sleeps, “Always-On” money needs to be the new standard for an "Always-On" economy.
The sovereignty of money isn't just a political issue—it’s a core technical and infrastructural constraint that slows innovation across borders.
Shared ledger infrastructure promises atomic, instant transactions that reduce or eliminate the need for reconciliation and interbank messaging.
Tokenization unlocks trapped value, making assets and capital more productive and responsive.
Stablecoins are mobile money for the Digital Age
