According to Odaily, during the 2024 Hong Kong SmartCon conference hosted by ChainLink, SBI CTO Tom Menner participated in a roundtable discussion titled 'The Future of Financial Market Infrastructure.' Menner highlighted SBI's involvement in numerous global Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) projects. He raised a critical question regarding the commercial prospects of these potential projects. Menner emphasized that while the technology has proven effective for both CBDCs and various assets in capital markets, the more significant consideration is whether these initiatives contribute to improvements in the existing financial management systems. This aspect, he noted, warrants deeper reflection.
