At the 2025 Abu Dhabi Finance Week's Fintech summit, Ben Zhou took center stage for a compelling discussion on payment evolution. The conversation dove deep into how crypto infrastructure is reshaping financial rails.

What's driving the next wave? Trust architecture, simplified user experience, and tangible real-world integration. Zhou exchanged perspectives with executives from Tabby and Google, unpacking where digital payments are heading.

The panel highlighted a critical shift: moving beyond speculation toward practical utility. Infrastructure maturity, regulatory clarity, and mainstream accessibility emerged as the trifecta defining adoption trajectories.

These industry dialogues matter—they bridge visionary tech with everyday commerce, making decentralized finance less abstract and more functional.

Back to this again? Switching from speculation to practical utility... I spit on that. I heard these words last year and they're still being said this year. If it were truly mature, it wouldn't have been cut in half long ago.

Once again talking about payment evolution... let's get the gas fees under control first. --- Trust architecture sounds good, but who will guarantee no rug pulls? --- Real-world integration sounds simple, but the difficult part is adoption. --- Finance Week again, but it all comes down to real trading volume. --- From specs to utility, I've heard this speech a hundred times... but it is somewhat interesting. --- Regulatory clarity? Haha, just wait, everyone. --- Tabby and Google are both here, this lineup is quite impressive.

To be honest, isn't the true payment revolution all about these infrastructure issues? No matter how well the paper is written, it has to be implemented to matter.

Honestly, it's just a bunch of empty talk about "practical applications" and "real integration"... I'll believe it when I see ordinary people use crypto to buy groceries someday.

Actually, this is the correct way to open: trust architecture is more valuable than the technology itself.
