Last week, our CEO, Artem Stopnevich, took part in The (Un)Banked Conference in Amsterdam, where The Vault was also proud to support the event as a sponsor.
Artem joined a panel discussion moderated by Katie Perry alongside Jody Mettler, COO at BitGo, Thijs van Boven, Head Trader, Digital Assets at VanEck, and James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares.
Together, they discussed what happens when organizations move assets onchain, how institutions balance technology and governance, and the challenges of transitioning from pilot projects to production environments.
One of the strongest takeaways from the event was how closely connected banking, fintech, and digital assets have become. Across the discussions, the focus was no longer on separate industries, but on shared challenges around trust, infrastructure, governance, and the movement of value.
A big thank you to .global for bringing together such a strong group of speakers and industry leaders.
We would also like to thank the other speakers who contributed their perspectives throughout the event: Daniel Rowlands, Laurent Marochini, Patrick Hennes, Giovanni Everduin, Myles Harrison, Rob Hadick, Alice Li, Robbie Nakarmi, Konstantins Vasilenko, and Daniele Casamassima.
We’re proud to be part of such a forward-thinking community and look forward to continuing the conversation.
