About this session
Recent tokenization pilots signal that T+0 equity settlement is no longer theoretical - it is arriving, and it will change how shares are issued, traded, and held. Digital exchanges, wealth managers, platforms and custodians now face a fundamental question: how do you integrate on-chain equities into portfolios and platforms? This session brings together the architects of digital equity tokens to map what the transition actually requires.

About this session
Stablecoins have crossed $300 billion in circulation. Tokenized deposits are live at various global banks. Yet for all the headline numbers, the hard question remains unanswered: how do programmable money instruments actually integrate with the treasury operations, correspondent banking relationships, and payments infrastructure that keep traditional finance running?
This session convenes senior practitioners from banks, corporates, and digital asset firms to examine the real friction points - legal, operational, and technical - where digital money collides with TradFi plumbing, and where the integration is showing progress. Participants will discuss strategies to scale the integration of digital assets within traditional operations, including updating risk management frameworks, adhering to regulatory requirements, and architecting interoperability across systems.
