Join us on 14th May 2026 for the 2nd edition of the Digital Assets Forum, co-organised with RMC Wise. This half-day event will bring together regulators, industry leaders and practitioners to discuss key developments shaping the digital assets sector in Europe.
The forum will reflect on the first 18 months of the Markets in Crpyto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), exploring lessons learned from its implementation, emerging regulatory developments, and practical considerations for firms operating in the space, including compliance, tokenisation and the evolving EU regulatory landscape.
This seminar is designed for mid to upper-level management that operate in the digital assets space, CFOs, CEOs, as well as consultants and advisors. a
