Stablecoins. Everyone's talking about them. Nobody really knows what they are.
Safe crypto? Digital dollars? Or just another hype waiting to collapse?

No crypto background needed. Actually, the more confused you are, the more sense this will make. That's exactly who it's for.

Format is simple: short intro + open discussion. Ask anything. No question is off-limits. That's the whole point of this format.

On the stage: Anna Kratky Strebl (CEO, @ConfirmoPay), Jan Procházka (member of the Bank Board CNB) and Vojtěch Studený

🧠 For everyone who wants to understand the things people keep talking about but few can actually explain.

This one is in Czech 🇨🇿

The Fintech Regulatory Sandbox joins Fintech Week CEE as a partner, with a primary focus on #UnBundled.
If you're building in fintech in CEE, you've probably hit the same wall. Regulation is complex, fragmented, and hard to navigate without burning through time and money.

This is what the Fintech Regulatory Sandbox was built for. Run by @CzechInvest_CZ and funded by the EU through the Czech Recovery Plan, it gives fintech startups hands-on regulatory guidance, legal consultation, business mentoring, and a dedicated testing environment all in one place. 21 projects are already in.

Having them at Fintech Week CEE is a natural fit. Regulation isn't a side topic for us. It runs through almost every conversation on stage.
If you want to meet the Sandbox team in person, Prague is the place.

[The FinTechers @thefintechers]

Investor perspective on #UnBundled event. Trust infrastructure. AI in finance. The software layer large institutions cannot afford to get wrong. 🤝

@ArnonAvi , SVP at Citi Ventures, where he focuses on cyber, data and AI.

His investment track record includes BioCatch, Forter, Silverfort, Matillion and IVIX. Companies that together point to a clear thesis: fraud, identity, compliance, and the data systems behind real-time decisions.

Avi works with startups that sell into complex organizations, where trust, integration and deployment matter from day one. Not from the Series B. From day one.

Why he's joining Fintech Week CEE: he's coming for the builders who take trust seriously early and for the operators who know that "enterprise-ready" is not a slide. It's a product. Taking a seat at the VC × Founders Session inside #UnBundled where founders pitch and investors react.

And the question sitting underneath all of it❓❓❓what does trust look like when a machine is moving the money❓

Another 👀 Flagship event of Fintech Week: Crypto & Banking Day

The builders are still hacking.

And then Monday arrives. And the week shifts gear.

Crypto is no longer a side conversation for banks. Some use cases are working. Some are still stuck in pilots, regulation, or bad incentives.

Crypto & Banking Day is a focused half-day that asks the honest questions. Hosted by Komerční banka.

Three topics on the table:
💸 Stablecoins & New Money Rails: cross-border payments, tokenized settlement, and whether stablecoins are becoming real financial infrastructure
🏦 Crypto-Collateralized Lending & DeFi: Bitcoin as collateral, programmable lending, where DeFi can and cannot fit safely into the financial system
📊 Capital Markets & Tokenization: tokenized bonds, funds, private assets, faster settlement, and the real barriers to institutional adoption

Built for TradFi leaders, bank innovation and payments teams, crypto founders and operators, fintech builders, and investors working at the intersection.

11 May.

Access is by invitation and Bundle ticket holders only.

The day doesn't end there. Monday evening closes with a rooftop dinner. Prague skyline, good people, no schedule
