Confidential Custody: Privacy and Key Control
A joint seminar by Utila and Bermuda for banks, financial institutions, and digital asset businesses. Panel discussion and open Q&A.
Institutions are moving on chain. Two questions decide whether they can stay there: who holds the keys, and who can read their footprint.
Utila and Bermuda are hosting a joint seminar for anyone working on custody, settlement, and privacy on shared infrastructure. Banks, asset managers, market infrastructure operators, regulators, digital asset businesses, and the teams building for them are all welcome.
What the seminar covers
Key control. Why supervisors in Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, and the EU converge on certified hardware and offline key generation, and what it takes to run wallet keys inside an HSM the institution owns and operates, on-premises or air-gapped.
The stack around the key. An HSM secures one thing. Multi-chain connectivity, address management, policy engines, approval quorums, AML screening, audit logs, and reconciliation are what turn a secured key into a working operation.
Confidentiality on chain. Shielded balances, stealth addresses, compliance screening on every transfer, atomic settlement, DeFi, and selective disclosure to supervisors and auditors.
Live walkthrough. A repo operation where each counterparty sees only its own allotment. A cross-border transfer that settles atomically while the flow stays confidential. An issuance that becomes public when the issuer publishes aggregates, on its own schedule.
Panel discussion and open Q&A. Bring the hard questions. Regulatory posture, threat models, integration effort, and where this breaks.
Who should come
Custody, treasury, digital asset, risk, compliance, and technology teams at central banks, commercial banks, and regulated financial institutions. Market infrastructure and exchange operators. Crypto-native businesses handling client assets. Supervisors and policymakers. Anyone whose work touches the question of how privacy and compliance coexist on a public network.
Hosts
Utila is an institutional digital asset operations platform with more than $200 billion in processed transaction volume, connecting directly to leading HSMs so keys are generated inside the institution's own hardware and never leave it.
Bermuda is a compliant privacy layer that drops into any network, keeping balances and history confidential while every transfer is screened against compliance policy and settlement stays atomic.
