ITU IMT-2030: DC³ Conference Cryptocurrencies –
Central Bank Digital Currency
The International Telecommunication Union organized the “DC3 Conference – From Cryptocurrencies to CBDCs” that took place virtually from 25 – 27 January 2022. The Digital Currency Conference was organised by the Digital Currency Global Initiative which is a joint collaboration between the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the Future of Digital Currency Initiative at Stanford University.
The DC3 Conference aimed to bring together industry thought leaders, policy makers, standards development bodies, international organisations, Central Banks, digital currency platform providers, stablecoin and cryptocurrency industry experts to exchange and share their experiences and pilot project implementations. It also provided an interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, and industry to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends and standards as well as practical challenges encountered, and solutions adopted in the fields of digital currencies.
The conference highlighted the work of the Digital Currency Global Initiative as well as emerging industry trends and initiatives in digital currencies, in particular, with regards to:
- Sharing insights on the latest trends in central bank digital currency, cryptocurrency and stablecoins;
- Discuss emerging developments and areas where standards are needed for the architecture and interoperability of digital currencies and their integration with existing payment systems;
- Conduct deep dive sessions on topics such as interoperability for central bank digital currencies and stablecoins and securing digital currency systems; and
- Foster dialogue among digital currency ecosystem stakeholders and regulators on key lessons learned from digital currency pilot implementations.
The three-day event consisted of:
- Three thematic tracks on Central Bank Digital Currencies; Stablecoins and Security.
- Three deep dive sessions on interoperability for central bank digital currencies, implementing interoperability for stablecoins and security validation model for digital currency systems respectively.
- High level panel discussions on topics such as the efficiencies that stablecoins can bring to financial inclusion and to payment systems; architecture models for CDBC and stablecoin implementations, definition of a digital currency ontology model and security assurance for digital currency systems amongst others.
Participation in the conference was free of charge and open to all ITU Member States, Sector Members, Associates and Academic Institutions and to any individual from a country that is a member of ITU, who wishes to contribute to the work.
Note: The recording of the sessions can be accessed from the program page.

TRUMP : “We must maintain our status as the Worldwide Leader in WiFi, 5G, and 6G, connecting every American to the World’s BEST Networks, while also keeping everyone safe. We can do both at the same time. Bottom line, I am going to free up plenty of SPECTRUM for auction, so Congress must put 600 MHz in “THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL.” Let’s make sure all options are on the table. Never bet against American Ingenuity. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/114541917095503331

The Institute for Digital Communications (Prof. Robert Schober, IDC) hosted a two-day project status meeting for the Internet of Bio-Nano Things (IoBNT) project from Monday, February 24 to Tuesday, February 25, 2025 at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg! The IoBNT project aims to develop a communication platform for connecting the human body to future 6G networks and is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
The meeting brought together more than 45 participants, including our project partners from TU Berlin, TU Munich, TU Darmstadt, TU Dresden, University of Lübeck, TH Dortmund, and the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) in Kaiserslautern. On the FAU side, the following chairs were involved: IDC, BVT (Institute of Bioprocess Engineering), and LITES (Institute for Smart Electronics and Systems). Hence, many of our SyMoCADS associates, namely Apurwa Jagtap, Daniela Wegner, Timo Jakumeit, Dr.-Ing. Maxilian Schäfer and Dr. Mohammad Javad Salariseddigh, presented their latest research results to our project partners.
On both days, the discussions were enriched by invited talks, given by two external speakers: Prof. Dr. Dagmar Fischer, Chair of Pharmaceutical Technology and Biopharmacy at the FAU, and Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Dr. habil. med. Stefan Lyer, professor for AI-assisted nanomaterials at the University Hospital Erlangen. Their valuable contributions sparked an engaging exchange on the latest progress and future directions of IoBNT.
The meeting provided a great platform for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and strategic planning as we continue to push the boundaries of bio-nano communication research.

MOTIVATION
Current wireless communication systems are largely based on the transmission of radio waves in the high-frequency range. This approach, for example, enables high data rates to be transmitted with low latency, thus enabling a large proportion of current telecommunications tasks to be handled. However, communication at the nano- and microscale, for example, connecting biology and digital technologies, presents communication systems with new challenges that cannot be addressed using existing concepts. Research into new concepts for communication in such complex environments is therefore urgently needed. Molecular communication (MK) represents one solution. Nanoparticles, for example, are used as information carriers to enable communication even in environments where radio transmission is not applicable, such as the human body.
OBJECTIVES AND APPROACH
The “Internet of Bio-Nano-Things” (IoBNT) project aims to research a communication platform for connecting the human body to future 6G networks. At the technological level, this will involve exploring novel interfaces between molecular communication and radio-frequency communication. To investigate the performance parameters of the communication system, key parameters such as the propagation behavior of nanoparticles in liquids and the theoretical information capacity of DNA molecules will also be investigated. The overall goal of the project is to create an end-to-end hardware and software test environment and evaluate it with respect to relevant biomedical use cases.
INNOVATIONS AND PERSPECTIVES
The envisioned communication platform represents a crucial step toward future body-area networks in medical technology. Such networks can be used, for example, to coordinate nanorobots in therapeutic applications, thus making treatments more targeted and gentler for patients. Molecular communication also represents a potential key technology for future communication standards beyond 6G, and early research into it can help secure the technological sovereignty of Germany and the European Economic Area in this area.
