Digital assets have reached a tipping point when it comes to institutional adoption. Once sceptical, institutional players and investors are increasingly embracing digital money solutions – from tokenized assets to central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), cryptocurrencies, and stablecoins – as part of their financial portfolios.

Simultaneously, technological developments, from evolving custody solutions to emerging blockchain innovations such as smart contracts, interoperability, and cross-border tokenized transactions, are presenting new opportunities for investors to capture.

This session will gather industry leaders to discuss the evolution of custody and blockchain solutions to support investor needs, the impact of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum and tokenized asset classes on institutional strategies, and the changing landscape of digital asset adoption by institutional investors.
