FEATURED TOPICS
3:30 PM - 4:00 PM
4:00 PM - 4:10 PM
4:10 PM - 4:25 PM
As European financial institutions navigate a pivotal moment in digital asset adoption, this fireside chat will look at the accelerating integration of blockchain and digital assets within Europe’s financial landscape and what it will take to scale institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure. SG-Forge has been one of Europe's most active pioneers in this space, and will discuss their trailblazing initiatives to leverage decentralized technology, drawing on real-world experience to highlight the company’s work in the space including its euro stablecoin and digital securities issuance.
4:25 PM - 4:45 PM
Custody is often where institutional digital asset strategies begin, however it is far from where they end. This panel brings together practitioners and pioneers from financial institutions shaping Europe's digital asset landscape to explore how they are using custody as a springboard: building out tokenisation, trading and new client propositions on top of secure, compliant foundations. What does the journey from custody to full-stack digital asset capability actually look like?
4:45 PM - 5:05 PM
The conversation around blockchain is shifting. For much of the past decade, the focus was on trading, speculation, and new asset classes. A growing number of institutions are asking whether blockchains such as the XRP Ledger can modernise the operational plumbing of financial markets. This fireside chat will look at what is behind that shift, and how real value is being driven by tokenization extending beyond issuance into genuine workflow transformation. It will also consider which use cases are closest to production, and what the next evolution of financial market infrastructure will look like.
5:05 PM - 5:25 PM
Institutional appetite for digital assets is well established but the infrastructure to support it is still evolving. Trapped capital, fragmented liquidity, and counterparty risk continue to limit meaningful participation at scale. This session examines how the prime brokerage model is being reimagined for the digital age, with cross-margining, onchain credit facilities, and regulated stablecoins as collateral reshaping how institutions deploy and manage capital. Panellists will explore what a more unified, trust-driven market infrastructure means for the future of institutional digital asset participation.
5:25 PM - 7:30 PM
Kimpton St Honoré is located in the 2nd Arrondissement, in the heart of Paris.
