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? 

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.
