Digital Assets Forum 2026

The Digital Assets Forum (DAF3), hosted by the European Blockchain Convention, is back with its biggest edition ever! For the first time, DAF3 will span two full days, bringing together 1,500+ attendees and 200 world-class speakers at a brand-new venue. This exclusive gathering will unite leading institutional players from across the digital assets ecosystem — from asset managers, banks, and crypto funds to infrastructure providers and policymakers.

Expect cutting-edge discussions across multiple stages, an expanded exhibition area, and dedicated spaces for 1-on-1 networking. With top-tier media capturing the highlights, DAF3 is set to be the institutional industry’s flagship event of the year.

The forum features an impressive lineup of speakers, including Anthony Scaramucci (Founder & Managing Partner, SkyBridge Capital), Diana Biggs (Partner, 1kx), Barbara Schlyter (Head of Xtrackers Digital Products and Partnerships, DWS Group), Matthew Hougan (CIO, Bitwise Asset Management), Thomas Moser (Alternate Member, Swiss National Bank), and many more influential voices from banks, asset managers, and crypto institutions. The speakers will share insights into investment strategies, regulatory frameworks, and technological advancements shaping the digital assets ecosystem.

The agenda covers critical topics, including the tokenization of assets such as funds, deposits, CBDCs, bonds, carbon credits, and real-world assets (RWAs), as well as macro trends and industry outlooks focusing on market liquidity, interest rates, and institutional adoption. The forum also offers a hands-on workshop on AI in Crypto Asset Management, exploring performance lessons from the past and strategies for the future.

Attendees will include a diverse mix of professionals, from hedge funds, crypto funds, and prop trading firms to family offices, wealth managers, banks, and financial regulators. Infrastructure providers such as market makers, exchanges, payment processors, and custodians will also participate, creating a comprehensive ecosystem for networking and knowledge sharing.

The forum offers extensive networking opportunities, including personalized 1:1 meetings with industry leaders, VIP networking nights, private roundtables on pressing digital asset topics, and dedicated press areas for media interactions.
