The Institutional Stack: VIP Lunch by Chainalysis, Definitive & Utila
This is an invitation-only executive lunch bringing together leaders from across the digital asset ecosystem during Singapore TOKEN2049 Week.

The discussion will benefit executives from banks, payment companies, fintechs, exchanges, asset managers, and trading firms who want to understand how the compliance, custody, and execution layers fit together.
Key themes include:
Institutional compliance infrastructure for digital asset and stablecoin flows
MPC wallet custody, stablecoin treasury management, and payment operations
Onchain trade execution and settlement for institutional portfolios
The convergence of compliance, custody, and execution as a single institutional stack
APAC regulatory landscape and institutional adoption trends
