ROUNDTABLE - Beyond MiCA: Stablecoins, Infrastructure & the GENIUS Era
Session Overview
ROUNDTABLE - Beyond MiCA: Stablecoins, Infrastructure & the GENIUS Era
Institutional adoption now turns on regulatory clarity and custody architecture.
In the EU, the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) is fully live, re‑defining asset segregation and issuer obligations.
In the US, the GENIUS Act delivers the first federal framework for payment stablecoins with 1:1 reserves, monthly reporting and explicit BSA/AML coverage—creating a transatlantic convergence, but also some divergences that institutions must navigate.
Meanwhile, the UK is moving forward with a systemic stablecoin regime, and global supervision is tightening via FATF (Travel Rule) and the Basel crypto‑exposure standard.
Join us for an in-depth discussion at this roundtable brought to you by Nordic Blockchain Association in partnership with BitGo.
Together with experts from public and private side, we will unpack challenges as well as opportunities to be aware of in the 2026 landscape of Digital Assets.

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.
