Digital Assets Week London Returns with Record Institutional Involvement

London, 6–7 October 2026: Digital Assets Week will return to London, the only forum where capital markets transformation through tokenisation is examined in depth, from issuance and market structure to settlement, custody, liquidity and regulatory alignment.

The underlying foundation of Digital Assets Week is Global Asset Digitisation Projects, making it the only venue where the commercialisation of tokenising assets is discussed comprehensively and at scale.

Digital Assets Week is institution-led and designed to support substantive dialogue between market participants, regulators and infrastructure providers on implementation, risk management and market structure as digital assets increasingly intersect with traditional capital markets.

The 2026 edition will focus on how digital assets and tokenisation are moving from experimentation towards practical implementation across traditional financial markets. Discussions will examine the evolution of tokenised private and public markets, 24/7 trading, atomic settlement, fund administration, digital asset custody, stablecoins, payments infrastructure, regulation, liquidity and institutional blockchain adoption.

• Rachel Blake MP, The Economic Secretary to the Treasury, HM Treasury
