Frankfurt Forum on Digital Assets & Applications (June 9, 2026)

The adoption of Distributed Ledger Technology across Europe's capital markets is no longer a far-off scenario. The topic is gaining real momentum, driven by regulatory initiatives such as Germany's eWpG, Luxembourg's Blockchain Laws, and the Market Integration Package, which further strengthens the EU DLT Pilot Regime. In parallel, stablecoin and central bank money initiatives based on MiCAR and Pontes are paving the way for DLT-based payments. Together, these frameworks are advancing digitisation and opening room for entirely new forms of Financial Market Infrastructure.

This shift towards distributed ledger technologies sets the stage for one date that stands out for anyone following the space. On 9 June 2026, the Frankfurt Forum on Digital Assets & Applications brings leading figures from banks, exchanges, and the Bundesbank together at the Literaturhaus Frankfurt (Schöne Aussicht 2).

The program features two panels. The first addresses DLT-based market infrastructures, covering client needs, design choices, and future developments, with representatives from DekaBank, 360X, 21X, and Seturion. The second turns to payments in DLT-based markets and the utility of different money forms, with speakers from Deutsche Bundesbank, Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, DZ Bank, and AllUnity. After the formal program, an aperitif and dinner offer ample opportunity to network with key players in the industry.

The conference is hosted by d-fine, an analytical and technology-driven consultancy, and now in its second edition on DLT-based capital markets. Both panels are moderated by d-fine's blockchain experts, Dr. Matthias Hirtschulz and Dr. Marc Henniges. Registration is available through d-fine's sign-up form, and Dr. Marc Henniges, Expert in Blockchain & Digital Assets, is the contact for questions.
