​How Large Banks Really Think About Crypto

​Use Cases, Limits, and Real Value

​📅 Date: Wednesday, March 11th, 2026
🕕 Time: 18:00–20:00
📍 Location: Anežka, Praha 1

​Crypto has moved far beyond speculation, but how do large universal banks actually view it today?

​In this session, we will take a pragmatic look at crypto from a banking perspective, discussing where real value is emerging, where use cases are already forming, and where expectations might still be ahead of reality.

​Speaker

​Patrik Nový
KB SmartSolution, KB Group

​Patrik works within the KB Group and brings a hands-on perspective on how banks approach crypto related topics across payments, stablecoins, DeFi and tokenization. He will share how these topics are evaluated internally, where institutions see opportunities, and where structural or regulatory limits still apply.

​Topics we will discuss

• ​Payments and stablecoins

• ​Corporate use cases of stablecoins

• ​RWA tokenization

• ​Crypto based and crypto backed lending

• ​DeFi from a banking perspective

• ​Programmable and automated finance

• ​Tokenized equity

• ​Compliance, CPLE challenges and regulatory opportunities

​What to expect

• ​A realistic view on crypto adoption inside large banks

• ​Clear differentiation between experimentation and production use cases

• ​Honest discussion about value creation versus narrative

• ​Open Q and A with room for critical questions

​This session is ideal for builders, founders, operators and anyone interested in understanding how crypto is evaluated beyond the Web3 bubble.

Drinks on us!

​We are looking forward to seeing you.
