About this session
Institutional finance is no longer watching stablecoins and DeFi from the sidelines - a growing cohort of banks and asset managers are deploying capital into permissioned on-chain liquidity pools, tokenised collateral markets, and stablecoin-settled instruments. This session explores how institutions are building the frameworks, partnerships, and guardrails to participate in on-chain markets at scale - and what it will take to bring the rest of the industry with them.
