Muslim Bitcoin Summit 2026 — London, Oct 10–11
Muslim Bitcoin Summit (nprofile…dat8)
Harris Irfan is one of the most respected voices in Islamic finance — a veteran investment banker with three decades of experience across London and the Middle East, specialising in Islamic finance, Shari’a‑compliant fintech, and real‑economy capital markets . He is the CEO of Cordoba Capital Markets, a non‑bank finance company pioneering profit‑sharing notes (PPNs) as a real‑economy, non‑debt alternative to conventional financing .
He is also the author of the critically acclaimed bestseller Heaven’s Bankers: Inside the Hidden World of Islamic Finance, praised by the Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, and Huffington Post for its insider perspective on the industry .
Keynote Topic: "The Problem with Fiat Money — And Why Bitcoin Matters"
In this keynote, Harris Irfan brings his decades of front‑line experience to a fundamental question:
What happens when the global monetary system is built on interest‑bearing debt?
He will unpack:
• How fiat money is created through debt, and why this architecture structurally embeds riba‑like incentives.
• Why Islamic finance has struggled to remain true to its real‑economy, risk‑sharing roots — a critique he has voiced throughout his career and writing .
• How Bitcoin’s fixed supply, decentralisation, and non‑debt issuance offer a radically different monetary foundation aligned with Islamic principles of justice, transparency, and real‑economy linkage.
• The emerging role of non‑debt, risk‑sharing instruments (like PPNs) as part of a broader shift toward sound, ethical money.
This keynote is a bridge between Islamic economic ethics, modern monetary realities, and the Bitcoin alternative — delivered by someone who has shaped the industry from the inside.
