What forces will shape the next wave of institutional adoption in digital assets? Nobody holds a crystal ball — but certain people have a sharper view of what's coming. Blockstories Horizon brings those people into the same room.
This exclusive Madrid gathering unites 80+ carefully selected senior decision-makers from banking, asset management, fintech, and market infrastructure. The mission: get ahead of the innovations and use cases that financial institutions need to understand before they become mainstream.
Eight category-leading companies will each deliver a focused 7-minute TED-style talk — covering where their space stands today and what the next 12–18 months will bring:
| 🏦 Topic | 🏢 Presenter |
|---|---|
| What's Next in Stablecoins? | Visa |
| Trends in Institutional Infrastructure | BitGo |
| Innovation in Crypto Asset Management | Bitwise |
| Onchain Vaults | Steakhouse Financial |
| Transforming Private Markets with Tokenization | Apex |
| The Case for Tokenized Collateral Management | Digital Asset |
| Next Frontier of Interoperability | LayerZero |
| Regulatory Outlook in Digital Assets | Bird & Bird |
Each presentation is followed by a Q&A session, creating a dynamic, insight-driven picture of the future before it arrives.
The Madrid Summit is one stop in the Blockstories Horizon Summer Series, running from May through July 2026. The series convenes Europe's most influential institutions across four cities — Madrid, Amsterdam, Paris, and Zurich — to collectively explore what's next in digital assets.
