16 - 17 June 2026
The Kameha Grand, Zurich
Serge Kaulitz
Head DLT, Blockchain and Digital Assets Luzerner Kantonalbank AGDay 1 | Tuesday 16th June
14:15 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?
15:50 Roundtable 1: Institutional-Grade Custody -What does ‘good’ look like?
Featuring: A demo of wallet management and segregation controls in practice
As custody models evolve, what are buy-side institutions demanding in terms of risk controls, asset segregation, and operational resilience? See a short demonstration of a custody platform addressing these needs- then discuss with peers what still needs fixing.
