Digital Asset Summit

The Nordic financial system is highly advanced, featuring instant payment solutions and robust ID systems, alongside strong public trust. However, significant changes are emerging globally, particularly with the European Central Bank's efforts to create a blockchain-based capital market and the U.S. utilizing stablecoins to enhance the dollar's digital dominance.

In response to new regulations and customer demand, over 30 European banks have introduced crypto services, with major global banks following suit. Meanwhile, Nordic financial institutions have been slow to adopt these innovations, raising concerns about their competitiveness in the face of rapid financial evolution.

Key questions for the region include the risk of missing out on financial innovation, the readiness of central banks, and the preparedness of Nordic banks for tokenized finance. These topics will be central to the upcoming Digital Asset Summit, which will address global trends, the Nordic landscape, and the strategic responses of traditional financial institutions, while also providing updates on digital asset initiatives and future engagement strategies.
