[European Blockchain Convention @EBlockchainCon]

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.

[Bitkey @Bitkey]

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.

[DeFi Technologies @DeFiTechGlobal]

🇦🇪 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. 🛡️
