Tokenization is easy to discuss. Internal approval is much harder.
At EBC12, Adriana Ennab (@GlobalDigitalFi), Lloyd Nelson (@howdenlocaluk), Mattia Calvosa (Visa), Sandro Knöpfel (@Cardano_CF), Nadia Filali (@caissedesdepots) and Sabina Liu (@euKuCoin) discussed what institutions need before saying yes to tokenization.
From regulation and governance to infrastructure, risk and the business case.

Tokenized money market funds are opening up new use cases like collateral mobility.

Turns out most people use a bitcoin wallet the same way they'd use any wallet:
To hold their own money and spend it on their own terms
Our new report with @GlobalDigitalFi, @trmlabs, @coinbase & @blocks shows this in new data — and it's why we're building Bitkey for you: True ownership of your money, no middleman holding your keys.

At the intersection of policy, infrastructure, and market integrity, few voices carry the weight that @lwintermeyer brings to the digital assets conversation. The Chair of Global Digital Finance is joining Paris Blockchain Week 2026.
At PBW, Lawrence will bring insights into what fair market infrastructure actually requires at a global scale, how trade associations and policy bodies are shaping the regulatory frameworks digital asset markets will operate under, and what responsible institutional adoption looks like when ethics and sustainability are built into the foundation.
Paris Blockchain Week takes place on April 15–16, 2026, bringing together the leaders shaping the future of traditional finance and digital assets.

Tokenization is scaling. Compliance is catching up.
In the @GlobalDigitalFi Annual Report 2025, GLEIF CEO Alexandre Kech explains why trusted on-chain identity is the missing link, & how the #LEI, via the #vLEI, can be embedded into wallets & smart contracts.

🇦🇪 The DeFi Technologies Insights Abu Dhabi Symposium on 8 December gathered leaders at the forefront of financial markets and digital innovation to explore how digital-asset infrastructure is taking shape within regulated capital markets. 📊
Our program featured:
🔹 A closer look at #ETPs as an efficient gateway into digital assets within regulated market structures, presented by @Forson (@DeFiTechGlobal / @ValourFunds).
🔹 Digital-asset risk scoring, presented by Andrea Disarò (@DeFiTechGlobal).
🔹 Panel “Digital Rails: Trusted Infrastructure for a Token-Based Economy” with Nena Dokuzov (@vladaRS) and Clara Guerra (Liechtenstein Government), moderated by @lwintermeyer (@GlobalDigitalFi). This conversation drew on experiences from Slovenia 🇸🇮 and Liechtenstein 🇱🇮 to show how digital rails can enhance market functioning – from settlement and liquidity improvements to the development of new tokenized instruments – while addressing the remaining interoperability gaps and the role of public–private investment in scaling infrastructure. 🌐
🔹 Panel “ETPs: Building Bridges for Institutional Access” with @RumeelHussain (@Coredao_Org), Mariana de la Roche (@BlackVogel_), @Forson (@DeFiTechGlobal / @ValourFunds), moderated by @asadahlborn (@BlackVogel_). The panel unpacked how ETPs have become a practical, compliant entry point for institutional allocators, now spanning a range of diversified formats. Participants discussed operational efficiency, Islamic-compliant structures, and the broader impact of ETPs on accelerating digital-asset adoption. 📈
🔹 Insights from Chris Tam (@BTQ_Tech) on advancing quantum-secure architectures for stablecoin networks to ensure resilient, future-proof infrastructure. 🛡️
