09:30 KEYNOTE – Tokenizing Access to Scarce Capacity: RWA × EU Energy Crisis × InfrastructureVitaly Peretyachenko | VENDOR.Energy |Co-FounderEurope’s energy challenge is not about shortage—it’s about access. This keynote reframes the energy crisis through Real World Assets as systems of access control, not speculation. Learn why protocol-level governance is becoming essential for infrastructure resilience and long-term capital alignment.
09:50 PANEL – The Other Side of Growth: Navigating Crypto Scams, Fraud & Financial CrimeCrypto fraud is industrialized. AI-driven scams and fraud-as-a-service scale faster than legitimate businesses, while stablecoins dominate illicit flows. This panel explores how smarter compliance, interoperable identity frameworks, and architectural redesign can turn trust into a competitive advantage.
10:35 KEYNOTE – How Institutions Build Profitable Bitcoin & Token StrategiesTorbjørn Bull Jenssen | K33 | CEOBitcoin is moving onto institutional balance sheets. This session dives into practical strategies for banks, family offices, and professional investors—from custody and compliance to treasury exposure and product design—offering a roadmap for profitable, compliant adoption.
11:05 KEYNOTE – Data × AI × Tokenization: The Asset Class That Doesn’t Exist YetGregor Žavcer | Datafund | Co- FounderData powers AI but sits invisible on balance sheets. This keynote examines how tokenization is unlocking data as a tradeable asset class, why AI agents will become autonomous market participants, and how first movers can shape the regulatory frameworks of the emerging data economy.

KEYNOTE Tokenizing Access to Scarce Capacity - RWA x EU Energy Crisis x Infrastructure - by Vitaly Peretyachenko | VENDOR.energy
Europe is not facing an energy shortage - It is facing an access crisis.
As electrification accelerates and geopolitical pressure reshapes supply chains, energy infrastructure is reaching its physical and regulatory limits.
Capacity is scarce. Deployment is slow. Allocation is no longer governed by markets alone, but by priorities, constraints, and institutional decisions.
This session reframes the energy crisis through a new lens: Real World Assets not as financial instruments, but as systems of access control to scarce infrastructure.
Vitaly Peretyachenko, founder of VENDOR.Energy™, explores why energy is becoming the most consequential frontier for institutional-grade RWA — not through tokenizing energy itself, but by structuring who gets access to deployable capacity, when, and under which rules.
The session examines how physically bounded, certifiable energy infrastructure creates natural points of scarcity — and why these points demand protocol-level governance rather than contracts, discretion, or speculation. It connects energy resilience, infrastructure security, and digital asset frameworks into a single narrative: scarcity creates queues, queues require rules, and rules increasingly require protocols.
Participants will gain a strategic view on how access, capacity registration, and execution discipline are reshaping the future of energy infrastructure — and why this shift matters not only for markets, but for safety, sovereignty, and long-term capital alignment.

Key Themes & Questions Explored• Why energy has returned as a strategic bottleneck for Europe
• Why markets fail when infrastructure becomes scarce
• RWA as access control, not asset speculation
• Capacity registration as the anchor of institutional trust
• Infrastructure resilience as a new layer of safety
• How regulation and physics quietly shape the future of digital assets
⸻
Who Should Attend
• Infrastructure & energy investors
• Policymakers and regulators
• RWA and digital asset strategists
• Utilities, grid operators, and industrial leaders
• Sovereign, institutional, and long-horizon capital
• Anyone shaping — or governed by — the future of energy access
⸻
Why This Session Matters
Because the next phase of the energy transition will not be decided by technology alone.
It will be decided by who controls access to scarce infrastructure — and how that access is governed.

PANEL - The Other Side of Growth: Navigating Crypto Scams, Fraud & Financial Crime
Crypto fraud is no longer a niche problem - it’s industrialized.
Attackers leverage AI, Automation, and Fraud-as-a-Service to exploit Identity Leaks and onboarding weaknesses at scale. Attackers now scale faster than legitimate businesses.
At the same time, new data shows Impersonation Fraud has surged by over 1,000% in the past year, and criminal activity linked to Stablecoins - once seen as a stabilizing force - are now a primary vehicle for illicit flows, according to the latest Chainalysis reports. These trends are reshaping risk, compliance, and trust across the digital asset ecosystem.
In Davos, we bring together voices from Identity Innovation, Global Financial Crime Policy, and Blockchain Analytics to move the conversation beyond “cyber” and into economics: How do we reduce the hidden growth tax of fraud and compliance friction - and design architecture for secure, scalable growth?
Key words are: Smarter Compliance, Interoperable Identity Frameworks, and Architectural Redesign that can turn trust into a competitive advantage.
Expect actionable insights, forward-looking strategies, and a candid discussion on what leaders must unlearn to thrive in the next wave of digital growth.
What You’ll Learn
Why traditional controls fail against AI-driven fraud—and what works in 2026.
Latest insights from Chainalysis: stablecoin-driven crime, sanctions, scams, and ransomware trends.
From “verify again” to reusable identity/KYC and event-driven security—practical design choices that boost conversion and reduce risk.

KEYNOTE - Data × AI × Tokenization: The Asset Class That Doesn't Exist Yet by Gregor Žavcer | Datafund
Those who control data control the future of AI.
Yet data, the most valuable resource on earth, sits on zero balance sheets.
Invisible. Untradeable.
Not because it lacks value—but because it lacks regulatory-compliant infrastructure.
$16 trillion in tokenized assets by 2030. Real estate, bonds, commodities—all flowing on-chain.
But data? The resource powering trillion-dollar AI companies has no ownership layer, no price discovery, no market.
That is changing now.
In this talk, Gregor Žavcer, co-founder of Ethereum Swarm and Datafund, explores why data is the next frontier for institutional-grade Real World Assets (RWA)—and why the window for first movers is measured in months, not years.
The session examines how AI agents are becoming the new market makers—requiring machine-readable ownership, machine-speed settlement, and data they can license autonomously.
It connects the rise of autonomous systems, the financialisation of intangible assets, and the emergence of data as a tradeable instrument into a single thesis: data tokenization is not theoretical. The rails are built. The first implementations are live.
Participants will gain a strategic view on how to position for the emerging data economy—and how to turn invisible assets into real value before the regulatory frameworks crystallize.

Finance & Fintech
Finance and fintech are converging—capital structures are changing, technology is reshaping infrastructure, and competitive dynamics are shifting globally.
The finance track examines how capital moves: venture capital and private equity models, pre-exit liquidity mechanisms creating alternatives to traditional exits, investment structures enabling growth without forcing early sales, and the role of strategic versus financial capital in scaling companies.
The fintech track covers where innovation is happening: digital assets including real-world asset tokenization and blockchain infrastructure, China's digital finance ecosystem and what's replicable elsewhere, global payment systems and cross-border infrastructure, AI in risk assessment and compliance, and regulatory frameworks that enable innovation.
Sessions bring together investors, founders, regulators, and corporate strategists examining what's working, what's changing, and where capital meets technology.
