Jacqueline Cooper, CEO, Blockchain Legal Institute & Director of the Digital Asset Regulatory Authority, will be moderating a panel to discuss stablecoins, SROs and digital asset trends across the globe. Anthony Howell, Director & Overseas Director for Bermuda, will be one of the featured speakers. The Digital Assets Forum returns to London on February 5–6, 2026, marking a pivotal moment for institutional adoption of digital assets in Europe and beyond.

A Strategic Location

The third edition of DAF will convene at Convene, 133 Houndsditch, positioned in the heart of London’s financial district. The venue choice reflects the conference’s core mission: facilitating substantive dialogue between traditional financial institutions and digital asset innovators. Senior executives from BlackRock, Deutsche Bank, J.P. Morgan, Barclays, and BNP Paribas will join blockchain leaders including Aave founder Stani Kulechov, creating a forum where both worlds can engage directly.

Regulatory Engagement at the Forefront

With MiCAR implementation reshaping Europe’s regulatory landscape and the UK developing its independent crypto framework, DAF has emerged as a critical venue for examining these evolving structures. Christian Moor, Principal Policy Officer at the European Banking Authority, is among the confirmed speakers—underscoring the growing participation of regulatory bodies in industry dialogue.

Organizations such as the Blockchain Legal Institute have played an important role in fostering these connections, convening panels that bring government officials and policymakers into direct conversation with industry practitioners. This collaborative approach to policy development is increasingly central to the conference’s programming.

An Expanded Format

Following two sold-out single-day editions, the organizers have expanded to a two-day format with enhanced facilities, including private roundtables and dedicated meeting spaces. Attendees collectively represent over €3 trillion in assets under management, reflecting significant institutional interest.

The agenda addresses the operational realities of institutional digital asset adoption: custody infrastructure, stablecoin settlement mechanisms, tokenization frameworks, and compliance readiness.

Looking Ahead

Industry analysts project substantial growth in tokenized assets over the coming years. The institutions gathering in London this February are actively positioning themselves within this evolving landscape. For professionals tracking the convergence of traditional finance and digital assets, the Digital Assets Forum offers valuable insight into how this integration is taking shape.
