Tokenize North
Where finance meets digital assets during Canada Fintech Forum week.
*** WE'RE 90% FULL NOW ***
Tokenize North is an official side event during Canada Fintech Forum week, bringing together approximately 120 senior leaders across financial services, fintech, capital markets and digital-asset infrastructure for an evening focused on the future of tokenized finance in Canada.
With U.S. digital-asset policy moving quickly, and Canada’s economic relationship with its largest trading partner entering a more uncertain phase, the conversation around Canada’s financial infrastructure, competitiveness and role in tokenized finance feels increasingly urgent.
Hosted at the Montreal Fintech Station, an initiative of Finance Montréal, just steps from the Forum, Tokenize North is an application-only, curated networking reception with a light thought-leadership program designed around one thing: creating a high-quality room for relevant conversations and new relationships.

Conversation Stations
Rather than a traditional conference program, Tokenize North will feature short, campfire-style Conversation Stations around Montreal Fintech Station's central kitchen island.
Conversations will explore the evolution of financial markets and infrastructure, including tokenization of RWAs, stablecoins, custody, capital markets infrastructure and institutional adoption.
