The New Face of Finance, Where Finance Finds Its Future. Future of Finance has one overriding goal. It is to host meetings (at the moment virtual meetings) that bring together long established members of the financial services industry (banks, brokers, asset managers, insurers, financial market infrastructures) with entrepreneurs (challenger banks, technology companies and FinTechs) and market authorities (central banks, regulators and policymakers) to explore how the financial services industry can grow faster by being more open, more innovative and more trustworthy.

  • Generating sustainable yield in digital asset portfolios
    Jul 19 2026

    Future of Finance Interview with Pavel Jakovlev at AMINA Bank, Artemiy Parshakov at P2P.org, Ray Dillet at Bitwise and Christopher Perkins at Franklin Templeton.


    As cryptocurrencies become a standard part of institutional portfolios, asset managers are increasingly focused on generating sustainable yield—without compromising custody, governance, or risk controls.


    Staking has emerged as a core mechanism to earn yield on proof-of-stake networks, and adoption is accelerating as custodians integrate staking services directly into secure custody frameworks. Beyond staking, certain assets—like Bitcoin—generate yield through lending, while yield-bearing Stablecoins are redefining how institutions earn returns on digital cash equivalents.


    Participants will discover how custodians serve as the gateway to secure, institutional-grade staking and lending, balancing asset safety with participation in yield-generating opportunities. The session highlights differences and overlaps between staking and lending, guiding institutions on opportunity assessment, risk management, and strategic decision-making in a rapidly evolving market.

  • It is time to take tokenisation back from the tinkerers
    Jul 6 2026

    A Future of Finance interview Ian Hunt, an Independent Advisor and Author.


    Tokenisation enthusiasts are frustrated. A technology capable of transforming the entire financial architecture of the world is reduced to searching for “uses-cases” where it can mobilise or settle assets cheaper and faster than the status quo provided a “business case” can be made for making the investment. So the time was ripe for a restatement of the case for revolution. In Replicating Legacy is Squandering the Promise of Tokenisation: We Are Building a Faster Horse, Ian Hunt, a consultant to the asset management industry, and Steve Whyman, the former Head of Debt Capital Markets Trading at Fidelity International, provide exactly that. They warn that if tokenisation continues to develop on its present course, it will merely replicate the existing system, complete with its excessive costs, poor investment outcomes, duplicative infrastructures and operational, regulatory and legal silos. The opportunity the paper describes is to build a “composable” financial system made up of interoperable components that conform to a single design, which can be assembled into any conceivable financial asset or liability. Its promise is not just lower costs but wider access and higher returns. Dominic Hobson, co-founder of Future of Finance, spoke to Ian Hunt, co-author of the paper, about what a composable financial system is and how to make it happen.

  • The tokenised fund revolution begins
    Jun 22 2026
    On 19 March 2026 Coinbase Asset Management added a tokenised share class to the Coinbase Bitcoin Yield Fund (CBYF) it launched in April 2025. The tokens, issued on to the Base blockchain built by parent company Coinbase, are aimed at institutional investors. Digital fund administration pioneers Apex Group are supporting distribution of the tokens with blockchain-based transfer agency capabilities that automate investor on-boarding and keep transactions in tokenised versions of the CBYF aligned with the register of investors that hold CBYF in non-tokenised form. By conducting a bold experiment in combining the risk and rewards of generating yield on holdings of Bitcoin with the operational benefits of using blockchain technology without compromising on traditional levels of investor protection, Coinbase Asset Management and Apex Group may have found the key to scaling the tokenised funds industry. Future of Finance Co-founder Dominic Hobson will be asking the panellists why asset managers everywhere should be excited about this deal.
