Banks & Protocols: The New Architecture of Credit
The Big Whale, Euler Labs and Zaïffer invite you to a breakfast event focused on one of the most important - and rapidly transforming - areas of finance: credit.
From secured loans to uncollateralized lending, credit scoring, and yield-generating products, credit has evolved into a contested space where TradFi institutions and blockchain protocols compete for market share.
The landscape is shifting fast, with regulatory uncertainty, liquidity fragmentation, and growing institutional interest in DeFi. The boundaries between these worlds are blurring rapidly.
In traditional finance, credit has long been the backbone of capital markets. On-chain, new protocols are reimagining lending from the ground up - creating both opportunities and tensions as these models converge.
Join banking executives, DeFi founders, and credit infrastructure builders as we explore what’s next for lending - across traditional rails, decentralized protocols, and emerging hybrid models.
