Digital Assets at the Crossroads: A CEO Dialogue
Add to calendar
About This Session
For the first time, the industry has what it spent years demanding - regulatory clarity, with MiCA enforced, the GENIUS Act signed, and market structure reform unlocking institutional tokenisation at scale. Yet the tailwinds arrive alongside real headwinds: a fractured macroeconomic order, geopolitical realignments reshaping capital flows, and AI competing for the infrastructure investment and boardroom attention once directed squarely at digital assets. This gathering of industry CEOs takes an honest look at where the industry truly stands.

About this session
MiCA's 2026 deadline and the GENIUS Act's January 2027 compliance window represent two very different answers to the same question: how do you bring digital assets inside the regulatory perimeter without breaking what makes them work? The choices embedded in each framework - on reserve requirements, stablecoin volume caps, extraterritorial reach, and licensing architecture - will determine which markets lead and which lose ground. This session examines the design principles behind global digital asset regulation, and asks where the frameworks converge, where they conflict, and what a coherent global standard might actually look like.
