ROUNDTABLE - Beyond MiCA: Stablecoins, Infrastructure & the GENIUS Era

January 19, 2026 (Monday) 13:30-15:30
🇨🇭 Davos (Switzerland)
This event will take place in 4 days.

Description

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.

​A Global Macro Perspective, Stablecoins-as-a-Service, Qualified Custody, Wealth Management, ETFs, Staking, Settlement Networks, Policy and Regulations are key words.

​The Roundtable is relevant for C-level, Banking/Finance, CASPs, Asset managers, Investors, VCs ETF players, Stablecoin issuers, Exchange risk/compliance leads, Policy makers, Fintech counsel and other stakeholders interacting or planning to interact with Digital Assets.

​Weather you are curious to understand how Digital Assets will affect finance functions of your industry, or you are a Digital Asset expert. You are all welcome to join to discuss how Digital Assets will affect the economy in 2026.

​Chatham House rules apply.

​The Roundtable will be led by Magnus Jones from Nordic Blockchain Association and Brett Reeves from BitGo, accompanied by experts from public and private sectors.

The Roundtable is part of the Digital Asset Program at the unDavos Summit.
