Day 1 | Tuesday 16th June

13:55 Market Infrastructure Panel: Infrastructure or innovation - What’s missing in institutional market design?

Building infrastructure is no longer the challenge - building a marketplace institutions want to use is. As digital asset infrastructure matures, this panel explores whether today's architecture truly serves institutional needs or simply replicates legacy models in a new format.

We’ll examine whether digital infrastructure has become commoditised, and what’s needed to catalyse demand: regulatory mandate, interoperability standards, or a new approach to market structure. Expect a candid discussion on the gap between innovation and adoption, and the ongoing tensions between incumbent players and open-platform innovators.

Speakers will address post-trade, clearing, and settlement innovation, as well as the underlying question: Can a digital asset marketplace be built without trust, collaboration, and shared economic incentives?
