The adoption of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) in Europe’s capital markets is gaining momentum, driven by regulatory initiatives like Germany’s eWpG, Luxembourg’s Blockchain Laws, or the Market Integration Package, which further strengthens the EU DLT Pilot Regime. At the same time, stablecoin and central bank money initiatives are facilitating DLT-based payments, based on MiCAR and Pontes. All these frameworks are paving the way for a higher degree of digitisation and for innovative roles, enabling a more automated and efficient handling of digital assets. As these changes unfold, they are reshaping how capital markets operate, setting the stage for new types of Financial Market Infrastructure (FMI).
Join us for an engaging event featuring renowned experts who will share their insights and visions for the future of DLT-based capital markets. Our distinguished speakers will explore the opportunities and challenges facing this rapidly evolving ecosystem, offering unique perspectives on how DLT can reshape the financial landscape. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain invaluable knowledge and network with key players in the industry.
After the program, there will be ample opportunity for inspiring conversations over a refreshing aperitif and a selection of food.
We look forward to seeing you!
