Day 1 | 17th June

4:20 PM Custody Panel: The Future of Institutional-Grade Digital Asset Custody: How are the latest developments in institutional-grade security and custody solutions supporting digital asset trading and investing?

As institutional engagement with digital assets deepens, the need for secure, compliant, and operationally seamless custody solutions has never been more critical. Custodians, private banks, and infrastructure providers are under growing pressure to support scalable, interoperable custody models while navigating a fast-evolving regulatory landscape.

This session brings together leaders from across the custody ecosystem to explore the latest technological advancements, market integration strategies, and regulatory developments shaping institutional adoption. From workflow friction and pre-funding challenges to MiCA, SAB 121, and emerging triparty models, panelists will share practical insights on how institutional custody is evolving- and what asset managers need to know to stay ahead.

How are participants overcoming limitations in custody, such as scalability, interoperability, and security gaps?
How can liquidity providers, platforms, and custodians best connect to create a highly efficient, seamless market structure integration?
How are global regulatory frameworks influencing the adoption and evolution of custody solutions?
What does the repeal of SAB 121 mean for institutional participation in digital assets?
