On October 22, 2026, PYMNTS reported that FIS executive Jon Eisenstein said digital currencies are prompting banks to re-examine infrastructure, network interoperability, and real-time settlement controls. According to him, tokenized deposits are better suited to banks’ existing customer relationships and institutional controls, while stablecoins help expand reach across multiple networks. Real-time settlement can reduce fund-transfer and reconciliation delays, but it also requires stricter transaction controls. As AI agents initiate financial transactions, banks will also need to manage delegated authorization, permission settings, and audit trails.
