Crypto is no longer an experiment on the fringes, it’s a catalyst for the biggest transformation in financial services since the internet.

From Agentic AI, Stablecoins and Tokenisation to the rise of regulated Bitcoin and Ethereum products, digital assets are reshaping how money moves, how assets are stored, and how clients expect to invest.

In this session, we’ll explore whether banking is facing an existential threat or a once-in-a-generation opportunity. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of the forces driving disruption, the role of regulation, and the strategies financial institutions must adopt to stay ahead in a rapidly changing landscape.
