The Next Chapter for Tokenized Funds
Tokenized fund issuance is increasingly becoming a reality. The next challenge is distribution.
The 2026 Tokenized Fund Roundtable will bring together asset managers, financial institutions, policymakers, infrastructure providers and market participants to examine what is needed to move tokenized funds from experimentation to broader adoption.
Through focused panels, fireside conversations and working roundtables, participants will explore the practical, regulatory and market-structure questions shaping the next phase of tokenized finance.
Attendance is limited to support candid discussion and meaningful participation.
Why You Need to Be in the Room
The tokenized fund market is moving from proof of concept toward implementation—but significant questions remain around distribution, access, regulation and infrastructure.
This roundtable is designed for the institutions and individuals actively working through those questions.
Attendees will have the opportunity to:
▫️ Hear directly from firms issuing and distributing tokenized funds
▫️ Understand what institutional allocators and other potential buyers need from the market
▫️ Examine regulatory developments in Washington and Brussels
▫️ Discuss identity, customer verification and the Travel Rule
▫️ Explore retail and institutional pathways for tokenized fund distribution
▫️ Consider the role of DeFi and permissionless networks
▫️ Build relationships with the organizations shaping this emerging market
