Day 2 | 17th June

11:30 AM Buy Side Working Group 1: Stablecoins, tokenised MMFs, deposit tokens & CBDCs - Navigating the future of digital cash management

As digital payment instruments mature, buy-side firms are evaluating stablecoins, tokenised money market funds, deposit tokens, and CBDCs as tools for yield, liquidity, and settlement. This session explores how these instruments compare from a regulatory, infrastructure, and product design perspective - and what each means for institutional cash strategies. A peer-led discussion on what’s investable today, what’s coming next, and how digital money is reshaping the future of payments and fund operations.

12:20 PM Asset Manager Leadership Panel: From pilot projects to market redesign: What’s next for asset tokenisation?

As 2026 reaches its mid-point, global asset managers assess how tokenised fund structures are transforming product design, distribution, and operational models across public and private markets.

This forward-looking panel will explore what’s needed to move from proof-of-concept to widespread adoption: scalable infrastructure, regulatory alignment, and real-world demand. Expect candid perspectives on what’s working, what isn’t, and where the investment management industry is heading.

The session will also feature a “What’s In / What’s Out” segment on tokenisation trends and rapid-fire predictions for the year ahead.
