While Tokenized Money Market Funds (TMMFs) offer a clear value proposition, global adoption remains caught between transformative technology and entrenched traditional incentives. This high-level panel features leaders from Franklin Templeton, GDF, Spiko, and Ownera to dissect why the buy-side has yet to fully bite and how to dismantle the regulatory and structural walls, such as the UCITS Wall and the prospectus problem, currently hindering scale. The discussion moves beyond the surface to tackle the critical liquidity mismatch of offering 24/7 digital redemptions backed by T+1 settled Treasuries. Participants will debate the soundness of liquidity buffers and the risks of token-washing where credit-linked structures masquerade as stable money market instruments. By exploring the success of the French Digital Lab approach and the UK’s emerging Digital Securities Sandbox, the panel provides a roadmap for turning TMMFs into the primary margin asset for global repo desks. Ultimately, this session explores a fundamental shift: moving from lazy stablecoins to productive yield-bearing collateral. Join us to discover the regulatory wins and technical guardrails required to achieve true product-market fit in the next twelve months.

Crypto markets have matured rapidly on the front end: liquidity has deepened, institutional participation has grown, and the arrival of spot Bitcoin ETFs has brought a new class of investors into the market. But behind the scenes, the post-trade layer, the infrastructure that handles clearing, settlement, and collateral management, remains fragile, fragmented, and largely informal compared to traditional financial markets. The question is no longer whether post-trade matters in crypto. It is who bears the risk today, whether that is sustainable as volumes grow, and what needs to be built to support the next phase of institutional adoption. This panel brings together leaders from trading, market infrastructure, custody, and traditional finance to take an honest look at where crypto post-trade stands, what the real friction points are, and whether solutions like central clearing, tokenized collateral, and cross-venue interoperability are genuinely within reach. Against the backdrop of MiCA, DORA, and the UK's new regulatory framework, the conversation will also explore whether regulatory clarity accelerates the buildout or fragments the market further. With traditional exchanges moving toward 24/7 operations and crypto venues beginning to list equities, the convergence between TradFi and crypto post-trade infrastructure may be arriving faster than most expect.

Staking has emerged as one of the most compelling yield-generating mechanisms in crypto, yet the path from concept to institutional-grade product remains unfinished. The infrastructure exists, validators are professional, custody solutions have matured, and liquid staking protocols have demonstrated real market depth. But the questions that matter most to large allocators, asset managers, pension funds, and regulated banks remain open: how is yield standardized and benchmarked? Who bears the residual risk when things go wrong? And how do you stake at scale without concentrating control of the underlying networks?. This panel brings together leaders from across the institutional staking stack: infrastructure operators, liquid staking protocols, enterprise custody providers, and asset managers. Together they represent every layer of the value chain, from the validator running the node to the fund manager reporting performance to an investment committee. The conversation will move from ground-level realities, what is actually blocking institutional deployment today and what has changed in the last twelve months, through the structural questions that define the next phase: how liquid staking products need to evolve, whether slashing risk is manageable at scale, what validator concentration means for the networks institutions are staking on, and whether the industry is converging on yield standards that allow for meaningful benchmarking. It will close with a forward look at which networks and product forms will drive the next wave of institutional adoption, and what institutional staking looks like in three years.

As the digital asset ecosystem continues to mature, institutional participation is accelerating across markets and geographies. What was once considered a niche or experimental asset class is increasingly becoming part of mainstream financial infrastructure, whether to support operational needs, enable new business models, or serve as part of treasury and capital allocation strategies. However, integrating assets such as bitcoin, stablecoins, and tokenized instruments onto the balance sheet introduces a new set of fundamental and often complex considerations. How should institutions account for price volatility and manage liquidity risk? What accounting standards and valuation frameworks are appropriate? How do evolving regulatory and reporting requirements differ across jurisdictions? And what the exposures create for boards, auditors, regulators, and other stakeholders?. Today’s panel brings together leaders from major institutions across the digital asset ecosystem, representing a range of functions and jurisdictions. Together, we will explore what it means to integrate crypto into institutional balance sheets—examining not only the opportunities, but also the operational, financial, and strategic challenges that institutions must navigate as this asset class becomes increasingly embedded in the global financial system.

Financial markets are only as reliable as the prices that power them. From the opacity of OTC crypto markets to the rapid proliferation of digital asset ETFs and the tokenization of real-world assets, pricing has never been more consequential, or more contested. This panel brings together leaders from brokerage, product innovation, and trading infrastructure to explore how the industry is solving the pricing challenge across instruments, asset classes, and market structures. As more assets become tradeable and institutional adoption accelerates, the question isn't just "what is this worth?", it's "can you trust the number?"

Tokenization is opening remarkable new opportunities for the world's leading index providers, bringing financial IP on-chain, reaching new markets, and enabling product innovation that was simply not possible before. The question is no longer whether to participate, but how to do it well. As on-chain markets mature, the convergence of institutional-grade standards and decentralized infrastructure is creating a compelling new landscape. Licensing frameworks are evolving, new product categories are emerging, and the demand for trusted, governed financial data on public blockchains has never been stronger. This panel brings together senior leaders from Bloomberg, FTSE Russell, MSCI, and S&P Dow Jones Indices to explore how the industry's most respected brands are navigating this moment, and what it takes to bring the full value of trusted financial IP into the on-chain world in a way that drives growth for everyone.

The shift toward tokenized securities is moving from experimental pilot programs to the fundamental redesign of global financial plumbing. Featuring leadership from Broadridge, Tradeweb, and Euroclear, this panel explores whether the true value of tokenization lies in digital-native issuance or the radical capital efficiency gained through secondary market flexibility. As settlement moves from days to minutes, the session deconstructs how Tier-1 banks can fundamentally lower capital buffer requirements and navigate the challenges of 24/7 trading in a T+0 world. Beyond speed, the discussion tackles the critical risks of systemic fragmentation. Experts will address the threat of liquidity silos across private ledgers and how DLT-based systems might have provided superior visibility during historic volatility. A core focus remains the institutional privacy mandate: can shared ledgers ever satisfy the strict data obfuscation requirements of major trading desks?. As automated, smart-contract-driven bond lifecycles become reality, the roles of traditional intermediaries, trading venues, and central securities depositories must evolve. This session provides a definitive look at the next 24 to 36 months, answering the industry’s most pressing question: will the distinction between traditional and digital infrastructure vanish as tokenized US Treasuries and Gilts become the standard plumbing for global finance?
