About the Session

The question isn’t whether digital assets will transform finance – but whether we can secure and scale DeFi for a regulated, institutional world.

This panel explores how financial institutions are navigating the operational challenges of digital asset integration, from fragmented global regulation and legacy infrastructure to heightened cyber risk. With frameworks like DORA raising the bar for operational resilience, and standards such as the Common Domain Model (CDM), LEI, and DTI laying the groundwork for interoperability, the road ahead requires more than innovation – it requires control, compliance, and robust operational design.

Panelists will explore how RegTech, tokenisation, and secure integration strategies are transforming risk management, compliance, and settlement in a world where DeFi meets TradFi.
