Our panel will be discussing the next phase of digital assets on 20 January, don't miss out.
The Digital Assets Summit returns in 2026 as the leading forum for institutional leaders, innovators and investors exploring the convergence of crypto, blockchain, and mainstream finance.
Across two days of keynotes, panels and private networking, the summit will tackle the next wave of transformation: from tokenisation of real-world assets and digital asset allocation strategies to the evolving regulatory landscape and blockchain infrastructure.
As financial institutions deepen their involvement in the space, the integration of crypto-native technologies into traditional systems is accelerating but, from regulatory clarity and security to scalability and interoperability, challenges remain. The road to institutional adoption is no longer theoretical; it's underway, uneven, and politically shaped.

2026 Headliners
The Financial Times is a worldwide famous brand that stands for reputation, quality and pioneering. The conference itself has been exposing pioneers in the industry and I totally endorse what the Financial Times is doing with these conferences. May this continue and may the word spread through to the mainstream the benefits of crypto, not only the disadvantages but also the obstacles and opportunities that it creates.
