The New Face of Finance, Where Finance Finds Its Future. Future of Finance has one overriding goal. It is to host meetings (at the moment virtual meetings) that bring together long established members of the financial services industry (banks, brokers, asset managers, insurers, financial market infrastructures) with entrepreneurs (challenger banks, technology companies and FinTechs) and market authorities (central banks, regulators and policymakers) to explore how the financial services industry can grow faster by being more open, more innovative and more trustworthy.

Future of Finance interviews, Jan-Oliver Sell is the CEO of Qivalis
The euro is the second most important central bank reserve currency behind the US dollar. Yet it has lacked a Stablecoin presence commensurate with its international status: 99 per cent of Stablecoins are issued in US dollars and euros account for just 0.2 per cent of Stablecoins in circulation worldwide. 37 European banks from 15 countries have now joined forces to address that gap, supplying both the funding and the power to distribute a euro Stablecoin for use as an atomic settlement asset in on-chain payments, trade finance and corporate liquidity management as well as for settling tokenised securities, funds and real estate transactions. Their chosen vehicle is the year-old, Amsterdam-headquartered Qivalis consortium, which has applied to De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) for authorisation as an Electronic Money Institution, which would empower the organisation to issue tokens under the Markets in Crypto-Asset Regulation (MiCAR) of the European Union (EU). Dominic Hobson, co-founder of Future of Finance, asked Jan Sell, CEO of Qivalis, how the Stablecoin will be backed and managed, what technologies it will be based on, what incentives the target audience have to use it and how it fits into a European capital market environment about to be transformed by the launch of the digital euro.

Future of Finance Interview with Pavel Jakovlev at AMINA Bank, Artemiy Parshakov at P2P.org, Ray Dillet at Bitwise and Christopher Perkins at Franklin Templeton.
As cryptocurrencies become a standard part of institutional portfolios, asset managers are increasingly focused on generating sustainable yield—without compromising custody, governance, or risk controls.
Staking has emerged as a core mechanism to earn yield on proof-of-stake networks, and adoption is accelerating as custodians integrate staking services directly into secure custody frameworks. Beyond staking, certain assets—like Bitcoin—generate yield through lending, while yield-bearing Stablecoins are redefining how institutions earn returns on digital cash equivalents.
Participants will discover how custodians serve as the gateway to secure, institutional-grade staking and lending, balancing asset safety with participation in yield-generating opportunities. The session highlights differences and overlaps between staking and lending, guiding institutions on opportunity assessment, risk management, and strategic decision-making in a rapidly evolving market.

A Future of Finance interview Ian Hunt, an Independent Advisor and Author.
Tokenisation enthusiasts are frustrated. A technology capable of transforming the entire financial architecture of the world is reduced to searching for “uses-cases” where it can mobilise or settle assets cheaper and faster than the status quo provided a “business case” can be made for making the investment. So the time was ripe for a restatement of the case for revolution. In Replicating Legacy is Squandering the Promise of Tokenisation: We Are Building a Faster Horse, Ian Hunt, a consultant to the asset management industry, and Steve Whyman, the former Head of Debt Capital Markets Trading at Fidelity International, provide exactly that. They warn that if tokenisation continues to develop on its present course, it will merely replicate the existing system, complete with its excessive costs, poor investment outcomes, duplicative infrastructures and operational, regulatory and legal silos. The opportunity the paper describes is to build a “composable” financial system made up of interoperable components that conform to a single design, which can be assembled into any conceivable financial asset or liability. Its promise is not just lower costs but wider access and higher returns. Dominic Hobson, co-founder of Future of Finance, spoke to Ian Hunt, co-author of the paper, about what a composable financial system is and how to make it happen.

On 19 March 2026 Coinbase Asset Management added a tokenised share class to the Coinbase Bitcoin Yield Fund (CBYF) it launched in April 2025. The tokens, issued on to the Base blockchain built by parent company Coinbase, are aimed at institutional investors. Digital fund administration pioneers Apex Group are supporting distribution of the tokens with blockchain-based transfer agency capabilities that automate investor on-boarding and keep transactions in tokenised versions of the CBYF aligned with the register of investors that hold CBYF in non-tokenised form. By conducting a bold experiment in combining the risk and rewards of generating yield on holdings of Bitcoin with the operational benefits of using blockchain technology without compromising on traditional levels of investor protection, Coinbase Asset Management and Apex Group may have found the key to scaling the tokenised funds industry. Future of Finance Co-founder Dominic Hobson will be asking the panellists why asset managers everywhere should be excited about this deal.Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies is increasing. Why? In Europe, MiCAR has delivered regulatory certainty. In the United States, the new administration has embraced both cryptocurrencies and Stablecoins - the crucial bridge between the cryptocurrency and money markets - and the courts have authorised spot Bitcoin ETFs, turning cryptocurrencies into a legitimate institutional asset class. In Germany, where early and effective legislative progress in the domestic market is now reinforced by a standardised regulatory framework spanning the whole of the European Union - the Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCAR) - both law and regulation facilitate the purchase and sale, trading and safekeeping of cryptocurrencies for both dealing and investment purposes. As a result of these developments, regulated institutions on both sides of the Atlantic are scrambling to build cryptocurrency trading, investing and custody services for their clients. This webinar explores how regulated institutions can offer their clients safe access to cryptocurrency markets in the form of brokerage, trading, settlement and custody services, unlock new business opportunities for their firms and manage the risks of cryptocurrency activities, while remaining fully compliant with their regulatory obligations.Hosted on Acast.

Lingfeng, LSEG and Archax build a bridge between tokenised and traditional funds

On 21 April 2026 Lingfeng Capital, the Hong Kong based private equity fund, launched its Digital Venture Fund (DVF) on Digital Markets Infrastructure (DMI) platform built by the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) to host private funds. Archax, the London-based digital asset exchange, brokerage and custodian, is simultaneously making the DVF available in tokenised form. While the case for investing in the fund stands and falls on the merits of its investment strategy, tokenisation offers issuers wider distribution to new classes of investor and investors secondary market trading as an alternative to traditional subscriptions and redemptions. By maintaining interoperability between the conventional and tokenised versions of the fund, DVF is endeavouring to prove that traditional and digital funds can be integrated successfully across issuance, distribution, trading and servicing, with sufficient cost savings and additional capital raising to spark a surge of tokenised fund issues. Dominic Hobson, co-founder of Future of Finance, asked Graham Rodford, Founder and CEO of Archax, and Brian McNulty, General Partner at Lingfeng Capital, about their expectations of the launch.

Funds have emerged as the main axis of advance for tokenisation. Tokenised money market funds, used first by on-chain cryptocurrency traders, have found a second audience in traditional collateral management. Their close cousin, Stablecoins, are also migrating from the cryptocurrency markets to facilitate instant settlement of fund transactions and round-the-clock trading of tokenised funds. The question is no longer whether tokenised funds offer value to asset managers and allocators, fund distributors and bank and brokerage intermediaries. It is whether they can scale. One school holds that the key to scale is greater interoperability between traditional and digital asset markets. While a preference for digital twins of established funds will always disappoint purists, it does allow asset managers to gather more assets by reaching new classes of investor. Widening distribution also argues for public rather than private blockchains. And no fund servicing business is doing more to enable its customers to issue, distribute and service tokenised funds and asset-backed Stablecoins than Apex Group. Dominic Hobson, Co-founder of Future of Finance, asked Peter Hughes, CEO and founder of Apex Group, why he has placed tokenisation at the forefront of his strategy.

Every token issuer knows that scale depends on liquidity, but liquidity depends on scale. To break this cycle, Bermuda-based MembersCap, the specialist reinsurance investment manager, is making available composable versions of its tokenised funds. The firm is confident composability will extend the range of allocators open to investing in MembersCap funds beyond traditional end-investors such as foundations and pension funds to encompass the corporate treasurers, hedge funds, market makers, arbitrageurs, proprietary traders and yield farmers active in the Decentralised Finance (DeFi) markets. The challenge is that the 24/7 trading models characteristic of DeFi demand instant liquidity. MembersCap meets the challenge through an innovative custodial structure. Which means the funds get a liquidity boost as well as wider distribution. Dominic Hobson, co-founder of Future of Finance, asked Bruce Jackson, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Capital Officer at MembersCap, how it all works.

The balance between tokenised money market funds and tokenised money will shift. Public blockchains will continue to grow at the expense of private ones, but which protocols prove popular remains unpredictable. The infrastructure for the tokenised markets of the future is being built. Tokenised funds will be overtaken by tokenised securities. The transition from the intermediated markets of the past to the un-intermediated markets of the future is messy but gathering momentum. Jeff Hartjes, executive business manager at 21x, the regulated, blockchain-based digital asset exchange, spoke about these and other issues with Dominic Hobson, co-founder of Future of Finance.

Emmanuel Daniel, founder of the TAB Global research house, thinks about the effects of digital technology on finance and how the changes it makes possible will impact business and society. In The Great Transition – the personalisation of finance is here, published in September 2022, he predicted that blockchain technology would shift Internet finance from centralised, market-based platforms to a distributed, networked, personalised and democratised model. Today, he is concerned that the future he foresaw is being hijacked by the traditional financial services industry. Future of Finance co-founder Dominic Hobson spoke to Emmanuel Daniel about what went wrong and how it can be put right.Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Future of Finance Interviews Richard Brown, Chief Executive of R3 Labs
The pivot by R3 from private to public blockchains through its partnership with Solana might be one of those apparently arcane technical deals - like IBM and Microsoft or Apple and ARM - that changes everything. It allies regulated, institutional money with an open blockchain protocol that can compete with existing equity and debt marketplaces on volume, speed and price, while still delivering on the central promise of blockchain: elimination of high levels of financial intermediation. It could, by accelerating the tokenisation of traditional financial assets as well as traditional forms of money, achieve what Ethereum has so far failed to deliver. Future of Finance Co-founder Dominic Hobson asked Richard Brown, Chief Executive of R3 Labs, why the company has set such a radical new course.

Explore the paradox of using artificial intelligence (AI) to make better people decisions than managers can do on their own.
What is the event about?
Many corporations, especially in financial services, attribute much of their success to the quality of their talent, which might suggest that they would also credit the HR function with helping them to acquire, develop, motivate, and retain said talent. However, managers and employees instead often complain that HR is a large, growing and not particularly helpful function that creates policies and processes that interfere with corporations’ ability to effectively manage their talent. Whether justified or not, many managers fault HR for not adequately or appropriately leveraging technological advances for the benefit of both employees, managers, and shareholders. This event will explore how recent advances in AI can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the HR function, reducing the resources it requires while also transforming the speed and quality of services it delivers.

A Future of Finance interview with Alexandre Kech, CEO of GLEIF.
There are two main obstacles to the scaling of the markets in digital assets and one of them is the lack of interoperability between blockchain networks and between blockchain networks and traditional financial markets. The default answer, hallowed by history in multiple industries, is standards. By enabling different networks to exchange data, they multiply the overall volume of counterparties and transactions. Unfortunately, attempts to achieve interoperability standards in digital assets suffer from limited usage and winner-takes-all proprietorial schemes, condemning most market participants to deploy risky or clumsy workarounds. So it is significant that the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF), set up by the Financial Stability Board in 2014 to overcome a major accelerant of the Great Financial Crisis of 2007 to 2009 – namely, the lack of a trusted counterparty identification standard on a global scale – has broadened its work to encompass digital assets. Dominic Hobson, co-founder of Future of Finance, spoke to Alex Kech, CEO of GLEIF.

A Future of Finance interview with Thorsten Peisl, Founder and Chief Executive at KALYP Technologies.
In 2026 Kalyp Technologies celebrates the tenth anniversary of its foundation as a provider of blockchain infrastructure to the regulated capital markets. It is an ambition that has required patience as well as more obvious resources, since securing the regulatory endorsement on which institutional engagement depends is a lengthy process. But now the company has built an open financial market infrastructure of its own, the Digital Securities Depositary Corporation (DSDC), and is embarked on its first major initiative - making American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) available as Digital Depositary Receipts (DDRs). Future of Finance co-founder Dominic Hobson spoke to Thorsten Peisl, Founder and Chief Executive of Kalyp Technologies.

A Future of Finance interview with Rob Krugman, Chief Digital Officer at Broadridge Interview.
Rob Krugman, Chief Digital Officer at Broadridge, speaks to Bob Currie about how financial services organisations are thinking about their futures and how Broadridge applies a customer-led Agile development approach to drive its innovation strategy.
Recognising that not every development idea will result in a live implementation, Krugman explores what makes the difference between success and failure and how it has applied this thinking to business use-cases, including the development of its ClearFi data insights platform and its distributed ledger repo solution.
In managing its innovation lab, 605 Studios, Krugman explains how Broadridge supports a mix of ‘disruptive’ and ‘synergistic’ project initiatives, explaining why disruptive projects typically grow most effectively within the innovation hub, while synergistic projects may be better nurtured within existing business units and product teams.
In doing so, Broadridge adopts a UniFI approach that attempts to break down the barriers between digital and traditional silos, with blockchain, tokenisation and AI technologies playing a central role in defining their mutual evolution.

A Future of Finance interview with Milo Guastamacchia, Founder and CEO or Yooro.
Technology-driven securitisation platform Yooro aims to simplify investor access to private markets, focusing on investors in the European Union, UK, Switzerland and the UAE. The company’s Founder and Chief Executive Milo Guastamacchia speaks to Bob Currie about how this is reshaping approaches to fundraising in unlisted markets, while attracting new and wider categories of investor that may not have been attracted previously to private capital issues or structured products.
The result, says Guastamacchia, is a more “democratic” pathway for private markets investment, delivering better access to the market, greater transparency and improved ‘voice’ for the investor.
The sweet spot for Yooro is to apply securitisation and tokenisation in tandem, bringing real-world assets into a digital DLT-based environment and building secondary market liquidity in those instruments. Assets are typically held by a special purpose vehicle wrapper under Luxembourg law.
More broadly, the discussion reflects on Yooro’s formation and ambitions, delivery of its Securitisation-as-a-Service methodology, and what the future holds as it expands its product set and solutions coverage.

A Future of Finance Interview with Richard Brown, Chief Technology and Product Officer at R3.
R3 celebrates its tenth anniversary this year. Richard G. Brown, R3’s Chief Technology and Product Officer, speaks to Bob Currie about the drivers for Corda’s design, how these are changing, and how far the company has fulfilled the targets that it envisaged at formation.
The discussion explores the potential for convergence of private and public blockchain ecosystems, thereby potentially making a wider range of higher-quality assets available to DeFi investors and tapping into a large pool of demand and liquidity sitting on public blockchain. But what can we say at this stage about the mechanics of building this cross-chain interoperability?
In bringing real-world assets to DeFi, we examine how to retain the simplicity and accessibility of permissionless chains while accommodating TradFi’s complex lifecycles and risk protocols.
In delivering convergence of public and private ecosystems, we address the difficulties in ensuring that financial institutions, and their regulators, are comfortable in transacting with investors or counterparties operating in a public ecosystem. What are the challenges in delivering the institutional-standard security and finality that these FIs will continue to expect?

On 13 February 2025 BX Digital hosted a virtual seminar that addressed the question: “Token markets need liquidity: Where will they get it from?” The importance of the topic is obvious. A market in which assets can be bought and sold quickly without moving the price is bound to grow more quickly than one in which assets can be bought and sold slowly, if at all, and only by moving the price in an adverse direction. By this criterion, the cryptocurrency markets, let alone the tokenised asset markets, lack sufficient liquidity.The conventional solution is to attract more issuers and investors. Unfortunately, it is fallacious. The experience of traditional markets shows that liquidity is not generated sufficiently by buyers and sellers alone. Furthermore, liquidity must be manufactured by market-makers, lead brokers, securities dealers, inter-broker dealers, exchanges and trading venues, banks, investment banks, and principal and high frequency trading firms. Yet blockchain was invented precisely to get rid of intermediaries such as these. So the purpose of the discussion hosted by BX Digital was to test whether blockchain-based finance can indeed scale without intermediaries, whether tokenisation can make the generation of liquidity more efficient and what exchanges can do to encourage the growth of liquidity.
The seminar, held in conjunction with Future of Finance, attracted 116 registrants. They heard Lidia Kurt, CEO of BX Digital, Michael J. Cyrus, Head of Short-Term Products, Equity Finance & FX at DekaBank, Mike Reed, Head of Partnership Development for Digital Assets at Franklin Templeton, Jasmine Burgess, Chief Risk Officer at Coinbase Asset Management, and Lloyd Wahed, Founder and CEO at Members Capital Management, discuss the question from a variety of angles. The registrants contributed to the discussion by completing an on-line poll.

A Future of Finance interview with Ciarán McGonagle, Chief Legal & Product Officer at Tokenovate.
Tokenovate delivers post-trade automation for derivatives and securities finance trades. Chief Legal and Product Officer Ciarán McGonagle speaks to Future of Finance’s Bob Currie about how the company is applying blockchain and smart contract technology to build a financial ecosystem that is automated, resilient and efficient.
Representing a financial product as a bundle of rights and obligations governed by conditional logic, McGonagle reflects on the flexibility offered by smart contracts in managing the cash flows, transfers of ownership and other lifecycle events associated with these contracts. He explains how Tokenovate’s unused transaction output (UTXO)-based model shapes the legal remedies available to asset owners in case of legal dispute or misappropriation – and how this may differ from other flavours of blockchain.
Drawing on his previous experience working at ISDA, McGonagle discusses how Tokenovate is applying the common domain model (CDM) to translate standard representation of key trade terms into real-world systems and workflows. In closing, he reflects on how the company is contributing to public policy formation and potential outcomes from its representations in Washington and Brussels, its work with financial regulators and its participation at New York Climate Week.
