Yesterday at Digital Days Geneva, @nicola_massella , our Legal Partner at @STORM_Partners, joined a panel hosted by SPHERE The Swiss Financial Arena, alongside Romain Braud of Arab Bank Switzerland, with Tatiana Topp of MyBerry moderating.
The conversation tackled a simple but important question: are banks and financial institutions really keeping up with blockchain and digital assets? The honest answer is that most are behind. A few are not.
US institutions have moved fast since the regulatory shift, with Nasdaq and Citadel Securities closing a gap that looked insurmountable two years ago. J.P. Morgan's Kinexys sits well ahead of most banking peers, while players like UBS remain in early stages.
One of the clearest takeaways from the panel was that early institutional adopters are not just experimenting, they are building an advantage. As the gap widens between those integrating digital assets proactively and those still waiting on the sidelines, the commercial consequences are becoming harder to ignore.
Thank you to Sphere for the invitation and to Tatiana and Romain for a sharp and candid conversation ๐ค
