Join our panel discussion: From fringe to mainstream - the rise of crypto and digital assets

Our Partner, Alexander Poser, will join a panel of industry experts to explore how asset managers are responding to the growing adoption of crypto and digital assets, and what this means for investment strategies, operating models and product innovation. 

The discussion will consider key questions including: 

• What is driving institutional adoption of crypto and digital assets, and how consistent is that demand across markets?
• How are asset managers incorporating digital assets in practice: as an allocation, a trading opportunity or part of broader market infrastructure?
• What are the biggest barriers to scaling digital assets within asset management today: regulation, infrastructure or internal capability?
