Tokenisation and Stablecoins in Practice
Join us for an exclusive evening exploring how tokenisation and stablecoins are moving from concept into real-world financial infrastructure, with expert talks, practical case studies, drinks and networking.
Hosted by XDC Network and TECHT Labs, the event will bring together financial institutions, technology leaders and digital asset experts to examine live use cases across stablecoin settlement, tokenised deposits and real-world assets, alongside the regulatory and operational considerations shaping adoption.
The evening will be privately catered, with drinks and canapés served throughout, followed by dedicated networking over drinks after the sessions.
