🇨🇭 In a bit more than two weeks, the executives leading digital assets strategy at the world's biggest financial institutions will be in the same room in Geneva.
Banks, asset managers, market infrastructures, corporates and regulated digital asset firms.
On November 12-13, the people running these mandates will spend two days together, in a private format built for business discussions and strategy making.
There is no other place with this level of seniority and access - highly private, highly limited and highly curated: invitation-only, capped at 300, and the conversations stay in the room.
The Geneva Summit is happening soon, and seats are going fast. If you want to attend, or you're curious to learn more, send me a message as soon as possible ☕️
🇨🇭 12-13 November, Geneva: 300 executives who lead digital assets mandates at financial institutions, fintechs and multinationals, in one room, behind closed doors.
All of the senior decision-makers across the world's biggest financial institutions, next to the regulated digital assets firms building tomorrow's rails.
Most institutions are now working on how to refine and execute their digital assets plans, and the people running those plans will be in Geneva.
Over two days, @TheBigWhale_ puts these leaders in front of each other.
No other event in our industry gives you this access: a private room and the most selective guest list, with conversations held directly between the people who shape the industry.

Just landed in Vegas for @money2020 with @StableNoe and the team 🔥 🇺🇸
It’s the biggest Fintech/Payments conference on the planet. For @TheBigWhale_, being here is a must: this is where you take the pulse of where money is heading.
Day 1, and one debate is everywhere: stablecoins vs tokenized deposits.
Both promise programmable, instant, 24/7 money. The models behind them are very different:
👉 Stablecoins: open, issued by non-banks, already operating at scale.
👉 Tokenized deposits: bank money on-chain, backed by regulated balance sheets, built for institutions.
Will one win, or will they coexist? Who ends up controlling the rails? Watching banks, card networks and fintechs pick sides in real time is fascinating.
We’ll be digging into this until Wednesday, starting tomorrow morning at our private event with @Mastercard, @utila_io, @DLA_Piper and @coinspaid: luma.com/tbw_money2020_vegas
In Vegas this week? Let’s meet.
🇺🇸 Just landed in Las Vegas for Money20/20, and our next Corporate Breakfast takes place here on Monday, October 19th.
Look at what our latest private events have in common: agentic finance this summer, cross-border payments and treasury last month, stablecoins and tokenized deposits a few weeks ago.
Three rooms, three different audiences, and one conclusion: payments are where digital assets meet institutional reality.
Now at Money20/20, the biggest fintech and payments conference in the world, it's exactly where this debate peaks. On Monday, we tackle it with @Mastercard, @DLA_Piper, @utila_io and @coinspaid.
Between them, they cover the network, the legal framework, the infrastructure and the market. Because the path to integrating stablecoins and digital assets into payments is far from straightforward.
Tech providers, regulation, strategy: each layer comes with its own trade-offs, and the real answers are in rooms like this one.
If these are your questions too, and you want a seat before the room closes, shoot me a message! ☕️

🇨🇭 Tokenization: a new financial system, or just a faster version of the old one?
At @TheBigWhale_, for our Geneva Summit, we made a deliberate choice: very few panels, only on the topics that matter most to the financial institutions and multinationals in the room, and only with global leaders.
The rest of the two days is built around private meetings, interactive sessions and targeted networking.
Tokenization earns its place on that short list. It sits at the center of where this industry is heading, and the debate will be led by:
- Emma Pecenicic, Head of Digital Assets at @Fidelity
- Theo Golden, Head of Tokenized Product at @Broadridge
- Emilio Anting, VP of Digital Assets Partnerships at @FTDA_US
All of it in one of Geneva's most prestigious hotels, privatized for two days, with 300 executives leading digital assets initiatives in the room.
We're now one month out and seats are going fast: if you want to be there for this conversation, send me a message as soon as possible.

Two days at the Hotel President Wilson. Nov 12–13, Geneva 💫
🇨🇭 In 30 days, 300 of the executives running digital assets at the world's major banks, asset managers and multinationals will be in one room in Geneva. 250+ have already confirmed.

All of them in one place, all of them there to do business.
Interactive sessions, private meetings and targeted networking: you compare notes with peers, sit down with the players already working with hundreds of corporates, and leave with a clear direction for the next 18 months, shaped by the people setting the standard.

🇨🇭 Geneva, 12-13 November: @Ripple joins the Geneva Summit as a Silver partner.
Treasury, stablecoin payments, custody, prime brokerage. In 2025, Ripple announced four acquisitions to cover each of them: GTreasury, Rail, Palisade, Inc and Hidden Road.
With that stack under one roof, the question shifts: it is no longer where the infrastructure comes from, it is what turns a proof of concept into a live product, what still blocks institutions on the way, and how to remove those blockers.
Few companies are better placed to answer than one that operates across all of these verticals, and that's exactly why Ripple will lead a closed-door session on what separates a successful pilot from a stalled one.
Over these two days, 300 top executives leading digital assets at non-crypto firms will gather at one of Switzerland's most prestigious hotels: no press, no recordings, Chatham House Rule.

🇮🇹 Yesterday marked our first private event in Milan, and one message came through loud and clear: the first blocker for banks offering digital assets isn't regulation. It's strategy.
With Boerse Stuttgart Digital and @trmlabs, we hosted an interactive session where speakers and audience went straight to the point:
What are banks still missing to offer digital assets to their clients, and what's really holding them back?
1. Many institutions still haven't decided which service to launch first, or for which clients.
2. Compliance, often called the elephant in the room, can actually become a competitive advantage with the right partners.
3. Demand is higher than most think: around 35% of bank customers say they'd switch banks for an integrated traditional and digital offer, according to BSD's survey.
The networking was just as strong, with many great conversations with Intesa Sanpaolo, Banca Sella, UniCredit and many other financial institutions.
🇨🇭 What's next on @TheBigWhale_'s calendar?

.@Spiko_finance is probably one of the best examples of what blockchain can achieve in finance.
Congrats to @pahyppolite and the whole team on their $90M Series B!
We first met Paul-Adrien over coffee, before Spiko even launched in Paris, and we've followed the project ever since. Many people in @TheBigWhale_ community, investors and users alike, got interested in Spiko from day one.
Paul-Adrien has joined us twice on stage at our Corporate Breakfasts in Paris 🇫🇷 , most recently in April (photo), where he explained the model to a room of bankers and asset managers.
The idea is simple. Not speculation, and not Bitcoin vs. the banks. Just cash that's available 24/7 and earns more, on public blockchains.
Full disclosure: TBW is a client. Part of our treasury sits in Spiko's tokenized money market fund, and it does better for us than the traditional setup. And we are really happy!
Close to $3B held, 10,000+ clients, $10B+ moved in and out in two years. That should be a wake-up call for every bank and asset manager that watched digital assets from a distance, fixated on Bitcoin, while the real use cases were being built next door.
There are many more like this one such as @Morpho. Tracking them, and bringing the people behind them together at our events across Europe (Paris, London, Geneva, Berlin, Milan, Amsterdam, NYC, Abu Dhabi...), is what we do at The Big Whale.
What's next: an interview with Paul-Adrien in our research, and a conversation with the Spiko team at the Geneva Summit on November 12–13 🇨🇭 luma.com/tbw-summit
Bravo, and well deserved 🥂
