Simone Maini
Chief Executive Officer
Elliptic
Simone is the CEO of Elliptic and serves to guide its vision to create a freer, fairer, and safer financial system for all. Having seen first-hand the challenges banks face detecting financial crime during her tenure at Deutsche Bank and Kroll, she became inspired by the possibilities presented by blockchain technology and specifically, the opportunity to significantly improve the detection and disruption of illicit activity when fund movements are transparent and traceable. Simone is a leading voice on financial crime prevention and compliance in crypto and a champion for an inclusive crypto compliance community.

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.
