CodeCoin Invited to Tsinghua PBCSF Global Finance Forum 2026, Sharing Insights on AI Agent Payments and Cross-Border Payment Infrastructure
From May 17 to 20, the Tsinghua PBCSF Global Finance Forum 2026 was held in Chengdu, Sichuan. Benny Wong, Founder and CEO of blockchain cross-border payment infrastructure provider CodeCoin, was invited to attend the forum. As an invited delegate, he participated in the closed-door seminar on “Digital Currency and Cross-Border Payments” on May 18, sharing CodeCoin’s industry observations and product roadmap on topics including AI agent payments, digital currency applications, and cross-border payment infrastructure development.
Themed "Global Financial Governance in a Changing Landscape: New Challenges, New Opportunities, New Development," the forum brought together guests from international organisations, central banks, regulators, financial institutions, technology companies and university think tanks to discuss global financial governance, the international monetary system, digital currency and cross-border payments. According to the agenda, the closed-door session on "Digital Currency and Cross-Border Payments" on the afternoon of 18 May listed speakers including Mu Changchun, Director of the Digital Currency Research Institute of the People's Bank of China; Oliver Jenkyn, President of Global Markets at Visa Inc.; Sopnendu Mohanty, Group CEO of GFTN and former Chief FinTech Officer of the Monetary Authority of Singapore; Drew Propson, Head of Technology and Innovation in Financial Services at the World Economic Forum; and Yang Wen, Head of North Asia at SWIFT.
During the forum, Huang Jianbin exchanged views on AI agent payments with attendees including Oliver Jenkyn of Visa Inc. He also spoke with Jacob A. Frenkel, Chairman Emeritus of the Board of Trustees of the Group of Thirty (G30) and former Governor of the Bank of Israel, who previously served as Economic Counsellor and Director of Research at the International Monetary Fund and as Chairman of JPMorgan Chase International. Their discussion covered compliant development of digital assets, regulatory licensing and access to mainstream financial systems.
Huang said: "When AI agents start booking flights, placing orders and handling subscription charges on a user's behalf, a payment system has to recognise not only who is paying, but who is authorised to pay and where the boundaries of that authority lie. CodeCoin is exploring next-generation payment infrastructure that serves human users and AI agents at the same time."
