The CVA 2026 Board of Directors is official! 📣 Two new experts, Paolo Bortolin and @CryptoSherazo, joined the Board following their election at our Annual General Assembly on June 30, alongside six returning directors, bringing the Board to a total of eight members: 👤 @JeromeBailly 👤 @EmiMoonsoon 👤 @Ilya_YouHodler 👤 @marcelharmann 👤 Maxim Kon 👤 @BlockChainBene 👤 Paolo Bortolin, MBA 👤 @CryptoSherazo We're also extending our sincere thanks to @EkaterinaAntho1 for her years of service and for everything she has contributed to the association.

Sheraz Ahmed @CryptoSherazo has spent years at the intersection of Web3, institutional adoption, and policy. As Managing Partner of STORM Partners @STORM_Partners and founder of Decentral House, Geneva's innovation centre for emerging technologies, he has built one of the most active professional services operations in the space. At the Louvre, he brought that perspective to the TaoStats Stage, moderating a panel on How Tokenised Markets Create New Opportunities for Investors. Where tokenised markets are creating real opportunities beyond the pilot phase. What demand looks like today. And what separates durable tokenised markets from experiments. The legal design, the liquidity, the infrastructure, the regulatory conditions. The full picture, from someone who has been building toward this moment for years. Thank you Sheraz for bringing that conversation to the Louvre.

📸 Fabian Dori, Sygnum Chief Investment Officer, on stage at the Onchain Leaders Gathering, organised by @STORM_Partners at @DecentralHouse in Geneva. "In a future where financial assets are increasingly stored and transacted on-chain, regulated banks will continue to play a crucial role by providing trusted access to the digital-asset ecosystem - across infrastructure, processes orchestration and investment solutions," says Fabian Dori. Fabian joined the "Banking Onchain: Threat or Upgrade?" panel discussion with Milko Hensel (@MaerkiBaumann), Philippe Meyer (@BBVASwitzerland), Nicolas Marxer (@BankFrick) and moderator @JeromeBailly (@thecryptovalley ). #FutureFinance #marketsnapshot #crypto @CryptoSherazo Disclaimer: sygnum.com/disclaimer-2-2/?u…

🇨🇭Today Geneva is at the centre of gravity of Switzerland’s digital asset industry. New connections and ideas moving across the room... a room built exactly for this!

Congratulations!

The value of a curated room is the quality of the perspectives in it! Onchain Leaders Gathering, Geneva.

How are banks building for a financial system where digital assets operate 24/7? We had the pleasure of bringing together representatives from leading banks to discuss how they are approaching digital assets, what they are building in-house, what they are buying, and where tokenization is starting to make real sense. 🟢 Philippe Meyer - @BBVASwitzerland 🟢 Milko Hensel - ARCHIP by @MaerkiBaumann 🟢 Fabian Dori - @sygnumofficial 🟢 Nicolas Marxer - @BankFrick 🟢 Jérôme Bailly - President of @thecryptovalley Technology needs to run around the clock, while banks still provide trusted access, regulatory support, compliance, and a human when things go wrong.

Our Founder @CryptoSherazo, opened the first fireside discussion at Onchain Leaders Geneva alongside Alberto Valero Cayón, Tech Expansion Manager at @tether. They spoke about open-source technology, digital sovereignty, and decentralised systems, and what this means for AI and financial institutions. A key point from Alberto: keeping computation closer to the user can mean less dependence on third-party cloud providers, while improving both privacy and resilience. As he put it: “𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘤𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘸𝘰 𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘪𝘯. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘤𝘺 𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘬.” The infrastructure behind AI matters just as much as the models themselves, thanks for being with us Alberto!

Meet us next week in Geneva at the onchain leaders gathering by @STORM_Partners 🇨🇭

Almost a decade and the @CVConf_ still retains it's energy and purpose! What began as a gathering of believers in Zug has evolved into the defining annual forum where Switzerland’s digital asset ecosystem unites and charts the industry's evolution. It's the building block of Swiss crypto DNA. That's what CVC has always been about, substance over hype. Through bear & bull markets it's the center of gravity where Swiss industry leaders comes together. The right people in the right room, year after year. Events like CVC26 only happen because of a community willing to contribute, challenge, and build. Our thanks go to the speakers, attendees, and partners whose commitment continues to make this conference possible. A big thank you to @niki_csanyi for her leadership in organizing CVC over the past 5 years and @EmiMoonsoon, Alexander Denzler and Saskia for their invaluable work and the rest of the CVA team Gio, @JeromeBailly, @LouisCryptoBcn, @BlockChainBene, @Ilya_YouHodler, Maxim, @EkaterinaAntho1, Marcel, @CryptoSherazo, @maria_fedak who make this event possible. See you in 2027!

Tokenization won’t scale without traditional finance accelerating. And earlier this week in Paris, that shift was visible. During @signalweek, we gathered 100 leaders - with a strong presence from banks and asset managers - alongside fintechs, corporates, and crypto startups. The big question: What’s next for institutional adoption? Here’s what stood out: 👉 The focus has shifted beyond native crypto assets. Institutions are now looking at non-native assets moving onchain - cash, tokenized money market funds, equities, bonds… This is where real scale is expected. 👉 Europe risks moving too slowly. Across the discussion, one message kept coming back: regulation is necessary - but Europe is taking too much time and adding too much friction. 👉 A strong wake-up call from 21X and other crypto start-ups. Max Heinzle shared a striking comparison between the US and Europe, highlighting how regulatory differences are already shaping where innovation happens. Thanks to our speakers for the quality of the discussion: 🎙️ Benoit Boudier (Boerse Stuttgart Digital) 🎙️ @pahyppolite (@Spiko_finance) 🎙️ @luhelminger (@TACEO_IO) 🎙️ @max_heinzle (@tradeon21x) 🎙️ @MylesHarrison89 (@AMINABankGlobal) 🎙️ @CryptoSherazo (@STORM_Partners) Next events: luma.com/0w3hirm8
