📣 Panel: Navigating MiCA - The Nordic Perspective Europe has entered a defining moment for digital assets, with MiCA now in force and being implemented across the EU. In the Nordics, we’re seeing firsthand how MiCA implementation can differ. Licensing timelines, local presence demands, varying supervisory interpretations, and compliance costs for CASPs are all shaping how MiCA is taking effect in the Nordics - not to mention the high volume of passporting requests coming in across the region. This panel brings together industry leaders, legal experts, and compliance specialists to explore how MiCA is being rolled out in the Nordics - and what these implementation differences mean for CASPs and the market at large. We look forward to hearing from: ⭐ Svetlana Prussova - Member of the Management Board @coinspaid ⭐ Eleonora Pavliouk - Senior Associate @twobirds ⭐ Tim Zölitz - CEO @crm_hq ⭐ Åsa Skålén - Founder at Realjuridik ⭐ Anna Agu - Co-Founder & CEO at Lex Law Join us in Stockholm at #NBC2026 for the conversations and perspectives shaping the future of regulated digital asset markets. 🎟️ Tickets are going fast - secure yours today: nordicblockchain.com/conference-2026

📣 PANEL: Custodial vs non-custodial wallets - Strategic choices for institutions and enterprises Custody is no longer just an operational choice - it's a strategic decision that defines how institutions engage with digital assets. The choice between custodial and non-custodial wallets sits at the intersection of security, compliance, operational control, and scalability - and shapes how institutions design and deploy digital asset infrastructure. This panel brings together leaders building across custody, institutional infrastructure, and regulated digital asset services to explore how these models are evolving in practice. We look forward to hearing from: ⭐ Laurent Marochini - CEO @StanChart ⭐ Ilja Tomilin - Regional Sales Account Manager @tangany ⭐ Kylie Poole - Director, Head of UK & Nordics Sales @taurus_hq ⭐ Anya Nova (@Anya_Nova) - Director EMEA @galaxyhq ⭐ Gerry Afentakis - Managing Director Europe & Board Director @ZodiaCustody Together, they will explore how institutions are approaching custody today, how regulatory and operational requirements are shaping architecture decisions, and how the balance between custodial and non-custodial models is evolving as adoption scales. 🎟️ Join the conversations shaping the future of digital asset infrastructure: nordicblockchain.com/conference-2026

📣 Panel: RWAs & Tokenisation - Bridging Traditional Finance and Digital Assets Real-world assets are increasingly moving on-chain, with tokenisation emerging as a key bridge between traditional finance and digital asset infrastructure. As institutions, exchanges, and crypto-native platforms align on standards for issuance, liquidity, and settlement, the focus is shifting from experimentation to scalable market design.

Jeg har haft fornøjelsen af at være gæst i Ekstra Bladets “Store penge”. Her taler vi bl.a., om den aktuelle beskatning af kryptovaluta - og selvfølgelig, hvad jeg selv har i porteføljen, mine refleksioner om mit valgresultat samt hvad der ellers optager mig som ny ordfører!

I dagens Store Penge podcast diskuterer panelet (@RosenvoldGeo @MadsStrange_ , etc) hvorfor krypto skattereglerne ikke er blevet ændret endnu. Det skyldes ene og alene manglende politisk vilje, især fra S og V. Intet andet. Skatteministeriet, Skattestyrelsen, køberne af kryptovaluta, Dansk Industri, Dansk Erhverv, osv. ønsker de nuværende regler - der er fra før, computeren blev opfundet - hen, hvor peberet gror. Jeg ved positivt, at adskillige sagsbehandlere har sagt op i Skat, fordi de menneskeligt ikke kunne leve med at træffe afgørelser, som forgældede sagesløse borgere til evig tid. Skattestyrelsen er dem af alle, som ønsker reglerne ændret.

Jeg har i dag et debatindlæg i Børsen, hvor jeg på vegne af hele branchen italesætter, at privat beskatning af kryptovaluta bør indgå i regeringsgrundlaget. Det skal sikre, at de 510.000 danskere, svarende til over 10 % af den voksne befolkning, som ejer kryptovaluta, får en tidssvarende beskatning og ikke mindst afklaring.
