Introduction 

The Payments Show 2025 was a strategic moment for Ulixe: an opportunity to officially present the new Digital Payments Business Unit and the UlixePay solution, marking the group's entry as a key player in the digital payments market. 

Ulixe has shown a clear vision and a concrete commitment: to transform the regulatory and technological complexity of the financial sector into interoperable, scalable and secure infrastructures that enable trust and innovation. 

 
Ulixe's experience at the Payments Show. 

Promoted by ABI and organized by ABIServizi and Bancaforte, the Salone dei Pagamenti is Italy's leading event dedicated to financial innovation. This year, as a Silver Partner, we shared our perspective on trust and innovation, in a context marked by the approach of theDigital Euro and the application of the MiCA regulation 

The 2025 edition provided an ideal context for telling the story of the Banking Innovation Journey, the path by which Ulixe transforms trust into strategic leverage for development and collaboration among technology, people and institutions. 

Open discussion on the future of payments in Italy 

At the Ulixe booth There was an energy that only live discussion can unleash.
We thank the banking professionals, fintech experts and curious visitors who took part in our journey by sharing thoughts on how to make digital payments more secure, accessible and interoperable. Questions such as "What role will the Digital Euro play in the coming years?" or "How does governance change with the new MiCA rules?" drove discussions born out of a desire to understand the real impact of the transformations taking place. 

Among the most popular initiatives, the interactive "Currency of Trust" quiz engaged visitors in a journey of trivia and data. Based on the dossier "Digital Coins between Trust and Innovation," produced by Ulixe Group with Business Intelligence Group, the quiz tested knowledge about the Digital Euro, stablecoin and trust in payment systems.

Data that tell the tale of trust: insights from the dossier "Digital Coins Between Trust and Innovation" 

The dossier "Digital Coins Between Trust and Innovation," produced by Ulixe Group in collaboration with Business Intelligence Group, offers an up-to-date snapshot of the change taking place in the digital payments landscape in Italy. 

Trust and perceptions: the consumer perspective 

• The Digital Euro enjoys a high level of trust: 59 percent of Italian citizens consider it reliable, thanks to the ECB guarantee, as a daily payment instrument. 

• Stablecoins, on the other hand, are perceived as safer by an audience already familiar with cryptocurrencies, seen as an asset for digital investments and cross-border transactions. 

The business perspective: pragmatism and incentives 

In the business sample, consisting of retailers and large-scale retailers, it emerges that: 

• 36% believe that the Digital Euro will become a common tool for payments within 5 years. 

• Twenty percent provides the same for Stablecoins. 

Influencing adoption in the B2B segment are mainly: 

• Tax incentives (50%) 

• Customer demand (46%) 

These data confirm that the shift to a new paradigm requires financial and technological literacy for citizens, and economic and regulatory levers for businesses.

Digital Payments Business Unit Established 

In the context that emerged from the dossier, compliance is confirmed as a strategic lever of competitiveness. 

 Trust becomes the ground on which the innovation game is played: today, the difference between those who will undergo change and those who will lead it depends on the ability to choose regulated, interoperable, and scalable infrastructure. 

From this awareness, the Ulixe Group's Digital Payments Business Unit was born: a concrete response to the needs of an evolving market, where trust translates into compliant technological architectures capable of supporting the adoption of tools such as the Digital Euro and regulated Stablecoins. 

The new area integrates technological, regulatory and governance expertise, working in synergy with: 

• BU Banking, an expert in RegTech and compliance; 

• the System Integration BU, which provides infrastructural robustness and application security. 

Together, these competencies make up Ulixe's Financial Innovation Hub: an ecosystem that supports banks, institutions and operators in building compliant, scalable and interoperable solutions. 

UlixePay: Anticipating the future of payments
