As digital assets move from experimentation to infrastructure, this closed-door workshop convenes senior leaders, policymakers, and institutional innovators to examine the next chapter of digital finance. Designed for decision-makers shaping regulatory frameworks, market infrastructure, and institutional strategy, this session will unpack three macro trends that are redefining how capital, liquidity, and trust are built in the digital economy.
What to Expect:
This is not a theoretical discussion. You’ll hear directly from senior executives and policy architects who have led real-world rollouts across tokenization, decentralized infrastructure, and programmable payments. Their insights will be grounded in implementation experience, regulatory engagement, and institutional adoption.
1️⃣ Institutional Tokenization: Unlocking Equity Liquidity
Tokenization is enabling fractional ownership and 24/7 trading of traditionally illiquid assets — from private equity to pre-IPO giants like OpenAI. Hear from senior product leads and infrastructure heads who’ve moved from pilot to production, and are reshaping how capital is accessed and governed.

2️⃣ Decentralized Market Infrastructure
DEX platforms like Aster and Hyperliquid are evolving into programmable liquidity layers. This session explores how decentralized infrastructure is bridging tokenized assets with institutional-grade execution, custody, and compliance — led by founders and trading heads.

3️⃣ Programmable Payments for Institutions
Stablecoin-powered networks like BPN and CPN are transforming cross-border flows. Learn how banks, PSPs, and corporates are deploying programmable money for treasury, FX, and settlement — with insights from global payment architects and regulatory advisors.
