The New Global Order of Capital: Investing through Transition and Transformation
Global finance is entering a period of profound transition, shaped by uneven growth, shifting capital flows, and the accelerating impact of technology. Geopolitical realignments and demographic shifts are redrawing the global investment map, while institutions adapt to new expectations of transparency, customization, and trust. As markets evolve across multiple dimensions, how can investors position themselves to thrive amid transformation rather than react to it?
-
13:20 - 14:00
Crypto and Capital in a Fragmented World: Dynamics, Risks, and Opportunities
As global economic and political fragmentation accelerates, the flows of capital, money, and trade are being fundamentally reshaped. Against this backdrop, growing uncertainty around trade, regulatory divergence, and shifts in monetary policy are directly influencing crypto capital markets. What role will crypto play in an increasingly fragmented world – and what will this mean for its long-term growth, stability, and global relevance?

Payments Innovation and Stablecoins: Building Trust across Regulatory Borders (BREAKOUT ROOM)
Stablecoins are rapidly reshaping payment systems, yet regulatory frameworks remain inconsistent – from stablecoin licensing and reserve requirements to AML/KYC obligations. Meanwhile, CBDC pilots are challenging private solutions in key jurisdictions. What regulatory models best balance innovation, trust, and financial inclusion in the emerging world of stablecoins and crypto payments, including CBDCs?
-
15:55 - 16:35
Regulating Tokenization: Securities, Commodities, or Something New? (BREAKOUT ROOM)
As tokenization gains traction across assets – from real estate to treasuries – regulators are faced with a fundamental question: How should these digital instruments be classified and governed? Legal definitions and regulation of securities, commodities, and payment instruments are being tested, with growing tension between legacy frameworks and emerging technologies. Are existing legal structures capable of evolving to accommodate the nature of tokenized assets, or is there a need for entirely new frameworks fit for the digital age?

From Hype to Infrastructure: AI, Energy, and the Foundations of the Digital Economy
As AI becomes core infrastructure, decentralized compute, autonomous agents, and distributed data markets are driving demand for scalable, sovereign systems pushing the limits of existing compute capacity. Infrastructure players are repositioning as energy hubs and compute brokers, operating at the intersection of finance, digital assets, grid stability, and even national defense. As demand for AI compute accelerates, how will energy infrastructure evolve and what are the broader implications for the digital asset ecosystem?
-
17:40 - 18:20
Bitcoin’s Strategic Moment: A Global Asset in a Shifting Geopolitical Order
Bitcoin’s role has evolved from niche experiment to a macro asset – but its strategic relevance is still unfolding. As the world reassesses monetary risk, reserve composition, and financial sovereignty, Bitcoin is increasingly viewed through a geopolitical and macroeconomic lens. In a world of rising fragmentation and fiscal instability, how might Bitcoin continue to evolve as a tool of economic strategy rather than just speculation?
-
18:20 - 19:00
From DeFi to On-Chain Capital Markets: Building the Next Financial System
From institutional engagement in DeFi to the emergence of tokenized funds and assets, the building blocks of a new financial system are quietly gaining momentum. This is not about replacing traditional finance – it’s about re-architecting capital markets for programmability, transparency, and global access. As regulatory clarity improves and infrastructure scales, a multi-rail future is taking shape. What’s required to move more of the capital markets stack – from origination to trading to settlement – on-chain?

Bringing the Data Center Economy Onchain
Tariff on, tariff off. Bitcoin up, Bitcoin down. New gold all time high every day. Chaos is everywhere but one thing is certain – the entire economy is basically data centers now. Capital markets and financial flows are being reshaped in real time as the largest physical infrastructure buildout in human history continues unabated. While AI applications may come and go, the demand for energy, compute, and crypto is inevitable, immense, and undercapitalized. In this talk, we'll explore the opportunities ahead for the token economy – intelligence tokens, payment tokens, and well, all our crypto tokens.
-
09:55 - 10:35
From Foundations to Fortification: Privacy, Security, and the Next Layer of Trust
As blockchain infrastructure scales and tokenized systems go live, the surface area for attacks and compliance risk grows in tandem. With high-profile hacks and rising regulatory pressure, the next wave of innovation must prioritize safeguarding users, assets, and data. From zero-knowledge proofs and modular architectures to smart contract security and embedded privacy, the focus is shifting toward building resilience. How can current and next-generation blockchain infrastructure meet this demand?

The Advent of Tokenized Finance: How the Future of On-Chain Collateral Will Unlock Latent Liquidity and Accelerate the Modern Economy
Tokenized finance is emerging as the next phase of institutional crypto, with on-chain collateral gaining speed as a foundational layer for credit, settlement, and liquidity. As tokenized assets and infrastructure scale, the utility of programmable collateral is expanding, bridging traditional and decentralized markets with increasing efficiency. Will the pace of innovation surpass the integration needed to unlock its full potential?
-
12:00 - 12:40
From Infrastructure to Investing: The Rise of On-Chain Capital Formation
Now that new foundational rails of finance have been built, the traditional investment lifecycle is undergoing a fundamental shift. Stablecoins, tokenized products, and new issuance platforms are transforming how capital is raised, distributed, and deployed across markets. Who stands to lead in this redefined capital formation landscape?
-
12:40 - 13:20
Stablecoins and Financial Access: Emerging Roles in a Digital Financial System
Stablecoins are no longer limited to back-end settlement – they are increasingly acting as access points for capital formation, liquidity provisioning, and on-chain participation. Whether used in DeFi lending pools, as institutional collateral, or to facilitate real-world asset issuance, stablecoins are evolving into a versatile tool at the intersection of finance and technology. As adoption grows across use cases and geographies, stablecoins are becoming a key component of the digital financial system’s capital stack. What roles might they play in shaping the creation, distribution, and accessibility of capital?

Lunch Roundtable: The Convergence of TradFi and DeFi to AllFi – and How It Will Drive Onchain Finance
TradFi and DeFi are converging into a unified financial architecture – AllFi – where markets operate natively on shared, synchronized ledgers. This evolution goes beyond tokenization, introducing real-time settlement, programmable compliance, and composable market infrastructure. Privacy and interoperability are no longer optional, they are foundational to institutional adoption. What will it take to rewire global finance from the ground up?
-
13:20 - 14:45
Lunch Roundtable: Bitcoin DATs as a Sustainable Model with Bitcoin Staking and Yield
Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) offer an emerging model for long-term, incentive-aligned capital formation built directly on Bitcoin infrastructure. By embedding rules, transparency, and governance into code, DATs enable sustainable economic structures that support mission-driven protocols and ecosystem development over time. This approach contrasts with short-term token incentives by emphasizing endurance, decentralization, and accountability, making DATs an increasingly relevant mechanism as Bitcoin expands its role in on-chain capital markets and ecosystem funding.
-
13:20 - 14:45
Lunch Roundtable: The Giants Are Coming – Merging Traditional Market Structure Into Crypto
As institutional adoption accelerates and the largest financial firms in the world enter crypto – what will financial market structure look like? And what is the transformation taking place now they want to see? We will discuss how two very different paradigms are converging to create a new era of efficiency, transparency, and innovation. From institutional-grade infrastructure to regulatory alignment, this conversation will explore what’s next for crypto and traditional assets as they shape the future of global finance.
-
13:20 - 14:45

The digital asset treasury market is rapidly maturing as institutions seek stable, yield-generating instruments within the crypto ecosystem. From harnessing Bitcoin's volatility into crypto denominated money markets to on-chain liquidity management, treasurers are utilizing new tools to optimize capital efficiency. How will this evolution reshape the future of corporate and institutional treasury management?
-
13:20 - 14:45
Lunch Roundtable: Apex Assets: Can Bitcoin Hold Art?
Art has always been where wealth meets imagination, the point where success transforms into legacy. Long seen as the summit of symbolic and financial value, art has shaped how capital is preserved across generations. Bitcoin, by contrast, aspires to be the apex of money – finite, decentralized, and incorruptible. Creativity, value, and technology are converging in new ways. As digital art evolves and collectors seek permanence, questions arise about whether Bitcoin’s pristine ledger can – or should – serve as a cultural vault. Is this the new frontier where monetary and artistic value merge, or is Bitcoin too pure for creative inscription?

Oil and Water? Are Crypto Companies Compatible With Traditional Public Markets?
Crypto M&A reached some of its highest levels in 2025 (130+ deals), with no signs of slowing down, as others take traditional capital market paths such as IPOs. A new paradigm is emerging as crypto matures with different pathways and hurdles facing acquirers, investors and those wanting to be acquired or go public. With respect to token issuance and public market listings, is it “either/or”, or “both/and”?
-
15:25 - 16:05
Reimagining Private Markets: Tokenization, Liquidity, and the Future of Alternatives
Private markets are entering a new phase. As tokenization shifts from theory to practice, capital market infrastructure is is evolving – offering greater transparency, fractional access, and the potential for real secondary liquidity. This transformation opens new opportunities across traditional and alternative asset classes, yet challenges remain. Will tokenized private markets simply digitize old systems – or fundamentally reshape how capital is raised and distributed?
-
16:10 - 16:45
Banking on Blockchain: Institutional Lending, Tokenized Assets, and the Evolution of Capital Markets
Banks and regulated institutions are entering crypto lending markets, while tokenization of capital assets – from treasuries to credit instruments – is gaining real traction. As issuance becomes programmable and distribution goes on-chain, institutional lending and liquidity models are evolving rapidly. How will the integration of tokenized assets and institutional lending reshape access to capital?

Publicly listed companies are increasingly adopting crypto – through treasury strategies, integrated operating businesses, or structured financial products like ETFs. As corporate exposure grows, the relationship between digital assets and public markets is deepening, bringing new opportunities, risks, and strategic considerations for investors and institutions alike. How will the growing integration of crypto into public balance sheets and listed investment products reshape capital markets over the next cycle?
-
17:40 - 18:20
From Parallel to Integrated: What Institutions Need to Fully Embrace Digital Assets
Despite growing interest, true institutional integration of digital assets into investment portfolios remains elusive. Operational, regulatory, and risk management challenges continue to create friction points across traditional investment frameworks. Understanding what is still missing is critical to bridging ambition with practical adoption. What is needed for traditional institutions to fully integrate digital assets into their portfolios – and what are the most critical barriers that still need to be addressed?
-
18:20 - 19:00
Institutional Capital in Motion: What’s Real, What’s Driving It, and Where It’s Going
Institutional capital is beginning to engage more meaningfully with the digital asset ecosystem, but participation varies widely across asset classes, strategies, and geographies. As market structure matures and integration deepens, understanding both the realities of today and the catalysts for tomorrow will define the next phase of growth. What is driving institutional capital flows into digital assets today – and what catalysts will accelerate adoption in the years to come?

10:15 - 11:10
Bitcoin Corporate Treasury for Companies Other Than Strategy
Over the past two years, a wave of corporate treasuries has moved into bitcoin, far beyond the headline names like MicroStrategy and Tesla. For seasoned investors, the conversation has shifted. The real question now is how to assess the value, strategy, risks, and upside of these balance-sheet positions as they emerge across a broader range of industries.
This session will look at:
Who’s Who: Different types of treasuries, from opportunistic buyers to long-term reserve holders
How to Measure: Key factors that matter: cost basis, timing, reporting, and liquidity management
The Risk Lens: What volatility, accounting rules, and regulatory limits mean for corporate behavior
Where It Could Go: The implications of wider adoption for liquidity, yield opportunities, and bitcoin’s institutional role
Signals to Watch: Why treasury flows may serve as an early indicator of broader institutional demand.

Onchain, in Practice: How Blockchain Is Upgrading Private Credit
Blockchain, smart contracts, and tokenization are reshaping the private credit landscape, from issuance and servicing to distribution and trading. Increasingly, blockchain is establishing itself as the programmable settlement layer for institutional credit. Real-world cases from leading originators, asset managers, and fintechs highlight how onchain infrastructure is unlocking efficiency, transparency, and new forms of liquidity across the industry.
-
10:15 - 11:10
Generating Market-Neutral Yield in DeFi
As stablecoins surpass $300B in market cap, the next killer use case of crypto is clear – on-chain yield. Every stablecoin holder will want to earn yield natively, safely, and transparently on-chain. This workshop dives into the practical mechanics of market-neutral yield generation across DeFi protocols. We’ll dissect more than 30 strategies that combine DEX liquidity provisioning (Hyperliquid, Jupiter), lending and borrowing (Morpho, Hyperlend), yield tranching (Exponent, Pendle), yield looping (Loopscale, Kamino), cash-and-carry trades, on-chain credit (pareto.credit), and RWA integrations (onre.finance). Using real on-chain data and live execution examples, we’ll explore what works, what breaks, and how to manage risk in volatile markets. Bring your laptop and your Ledger – this is hands-on DeFi.

Convergence of Two Worlds: Opportunities Arising From Capital Markets Going Digital
Capital markets are undergoing rapid transformation as traditional finance and crypto converge. Tokenized equities, bonds, and funds are gaining momentum, while derivatives and structured products expand across both ecosystems. At the same time, stablecoins, near-instant settlement, and compliant privacy rails are reshaping the foundations of global financial infrastructure. As distribution models evolve and market structures modernize, a more unified and accessible global capital market is emerging. What will it take for digital infrastructure to become the default across capital markets?
