🏦 @ChrisLegers, Head of Switzerland at @FTI_Global, delivered a keynote on how digital assets and blockchain are redefining financial infrastructure, from asset issuance to trust and capital markets. Main points below: 🔺 The wallet is the new financial center of gravity, combining identity, ownership, compliance, and distribution into one unified object, reshaping how banks must compete. 🔺 Value chain compression is redefining finance: infrastructure changes don’t just improve efficiency, they collapse old layers and force institutions to justify their existence. 🔺 Banks aren’t threatened by Web3 technology itself, but by their inability to adapt to new rails, like how shipping containers changed global trade, not by being flashy, but by standardizing the system. Thank you for joining us, and thanks to @FTI_Global for making this edition happen.

Just landed in Zurich with @DG2 for the Web3 Banking Symposium - 300+ attendees already here! @TheBigWhale_ is an official partner of the @thecryptovalley, and we’ve prepared a major report on Swiss banks and digital assets. I’ll be presenting it during the conference’s closing keynote. Ping me if you’re around and up for a coffee!

The Web3 Banking Symposium has officially kicked off. 🚀 Ilya Volkov CEO of YouHodler and Board Member of the Crypto Valley Association — just took the stage with his keynote: “Banking’s New Era Runs on Web3. Lead It, Don’t Chase It.” The future of banking is being discussed — in real time. 👇 cryptovalley.swiss/web3-banking-s… #Web3 #Banking #CryptoValley #YouHodler

📚 A fantastic opportunity to hear directly from @swiftcommunity's @Nick_kerigan, alongside our Executive Director @niki_csanyi, on the future of financial infrastructure. Nick spoke about Swift integrating blockchain into its existing infrastructure to boost the speed, transparency, and efficiency of cross-border payments without replacing the current system. The new ledger enables 24/7 settlement, real-time transaction visibility, better liquidity management, and reduced operational risk.

On stage for @thecryptovalley web3 Banking Symposium in Zurich, @adam3us from @Blockstream. Tokenization Without Trust: Why Markets Sill settle on Bitcoin

💸 So great to have leading experts from central banks and private institutions discuss how next-generation systems can unify domestic and international frameworks, enhance efficiency, and enable programmable, interoperable assets. Among the topics discussed were the need to harmonize legal, technical, and operational standards, expand access for smaller banks and payment providers, and design infrastructure with composability and interoperability at its core. 🎤 Daniel Eidan – @BIS_org 🎤 Christopher Cherdel – Banque Cantonale Vaudoise 🎤 Dr. Sebastian Preil – @AMINABankGlobal 🎤 Barry Plunkett – @cosmos Thanks to Biba Homsy (Homsy Legal), for the expert moderation!

Our CEO @adam3us takes the stage in Zurich at the Web3 Banking Symposium by @thecryptovalley. "Tokenization Without Trust: Why Markets Will Settle on Bitcoin." This is what we're here for. Building infrastructure for the future of finance on Bitcoin.

"𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺'𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦." A true honor to have @adam3us, CEO of @Blockstream and inventor of Hashcash, the proof-of-work algorithm cited by Satoshi Nakamoto in the Bitcoin whitepaper, on stage at the Web3 Banking Symposium. Here are some of the topics @adam3us covered during his keynote: 🔺 Blockchain as a foundation: provides integrity, security, and decentralized consensus for modern financial infrastructure. 🔺 Bitcoin as a base layer: emphasizes security and simplicity and provides a reliable foundation for financial systems. 🔺 Liquid network capabilities: enables fast, confidential transactions and on-chain asset issuance for institutional use. 🔺 Institutional adoption priorities: focuses on simplicity, verifiability, compliance, and operational security for scalable, robust, and auditable systems. Once again, a special thanks to @Blockstream for being the presenting partner of this edition!

He also examined how stablecoins are reshaping bank money, profitability, and monetary transmission, and why DeFi lending is challenging traditional banking through programmable, transparent credit markets.
