Web3 Banking Symposium
2026-03-02 08:00 - 20:00 | Kunsthaus Zürich, Heimplatz, 8001 Zürich, Switzerland
The Web3 Banking Symposium returns for its 3rd edition in Zurich, marking a defining moment in the convergence of traditional finance and blockchain.
What began as a pioneering dialogue between banks and crypto innovators has evolved into a mature ecosystem - where digital assets, tokenized securities, and decentralized technologies are no longer experiments, but essential components of modern finance. In 2026, the conversation moves from adoption to acceleration and missed opportunity costs.
Banks that continue to observe from the sidelines risk missing one of the largest shifts in financial infrastructure and value creation since the dawn of digital banking. Are you shaping the future of finance, or watching it pass you by?
Focus areas for the 2026 edition
In this year’s edition, the conversation moves beyond exploration - toward execution and scale. From stablecoins as mainstream settlement instruments to the large-scale tokenization of assets, this year’s agenda explores how institutional-grade blockchain adoption is reshaping finance globally. Join the decision-makers, innovators, and regulators driving this transformation - and witness how banking, as we know it, is being redefined.

Blockchain in Financial Services 2026
2026-05-05 16:00 - 19:00 | TX Group, Werdstrasse 21, Zürich, Zürich, 8004, Switzerland
The landscape of blockchain and digital assets is in flux: technologies are advancing rapidly, and more use cases are proving their substance, while the legal and regulatory framework in many places is still being developed or is under consultation.
This raises critical questions: How can crypto assets be effectively integrated into existing portfolios and financial offerings? What role will banks, asset managers and other financial players take on in this new landscape? How are client needs and expectations changing? And what potential do stablecoins unlock at the intersection of innovation, regulation and practice?
Exchange ideas with fellow professionals on current developments. Get inspired, join the discussion, and gain new perspectives on how blockchain and digital assets will shape the financial world of tomorrow.
