CVC26 WORKSHOP: The Good, the Bad, and the Bilateral: From Workarounds to Shared Custody Standards

Bilateral custody arrangements solved problems. They also created new ones. This session takes an honest look at where bilateral custody falls short at scale and what a credible path to shared institutional standards actually requires, from the inside of a regulated digital asset firm.

Why bilateral custody arrangements proliferated and what specific problems they were built to solve
Where they create compounding operational, legal, and counterparty risk at scale
What shared custody standards need to address to gain institutional adoption
How regulated digital asset firms are navigating the gap between current practice and emerging standards
