At MPE Berlin 2025, David Birch, renowned author and commentator on digital financial services, reflects on the big shifts happening across identity, AI, stablecoins and digital wallets.
He explores why digital identity is now critical to the future of payments, how the European Digital Identity Wallet could change the game, and why we are likely to manage multiple digital wallets rather than just one.
David also discusses why consumers should not be left to manage their identities alone, and what being named in the Payments Power 50 means to him after years of watching payments become one of the most exciting spaces in finance.
