Day 1 | 10th February

9:30 AM View from the top: Unlocking wholesale markets through stablecoin utility

Recently partnering with Ripple, hear an institutional perspective from LMAX Group on where stablecoins can deliver real utility in wholesale markets beyond spot crypto settlement, including as a store of value, funding source, and collateral asset. This session will explore how deeper stablecoin integration with traditional financial infrastructure could unlock more efficient collateral management and transform capital market liquidity and structure. The discussion will also look at why gold is re-emerging as a critical reference point, and how digital representations of gold may intersect with stablecoins in institutional trading and financing.
