Bryan Stirewalt will participate in a panel at the Pacific Pension and Investment Institute’s (PPI) summer roundtable, Stemming the Inflationary Impact of Geopolitical Events, which will take place on 13-15 July 2022. Speaking on the topic “The Intersection of Sanctions, Regulations, and Digital Assets,” Bryan and his fellow panelists will discuss how the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) international payment system has come into focus due to its inclusion in the basket of sanction measures against Russia, and whether SWIFT’s “weaponization” might incentivize the adoption of alternative global transaction settlement systems.
