October 29: TUM Blockchain Conference Day

Thursday, October 29 is the TUM Blockchain Conference Day, with talks and panels from zero-knowledge cryptography to production systems. Researchers from IBM Research Europe, the University of Cambridge and TU Wien are on the speaker list.

October 30: Digital Assets Day by Bundesblock

If you work at a bank, an asset manager or in payments, plan for Friday, October 30. For the first time, Bundesblock, the German blockchain association (Blockchain Bundesverband), curates the second conference day as the Digital Assets Day. Policymakers, regulators, financial institutions and corporates meet on three parallel stages: the Main Stage, the Executive Forum and the Future Stage.

The draft agenda starts with capital markets and money: digital securities and market infrastructure, portfolio construction with digital assets, European banking consortia, the path from the digital euro to stablecoin rails, and corporate treasuries with agentic AI payments. Later sessions cover tokenization of real-world assets, custody and digital identity, and regulation under MiCA, DAC8 and DORA.

Speakers confirmed for the TUM Blockchain Conference 2026 include Franziska Huber of the Deutsche Bundesbank, Niclas Voigt of Commerzbank, Manfred Richels of the Deutscher Sparkassen- und Giroverband, Dr. Lewin Boehnke of Crypto Finance (Deutsche Börse Group), Alexander Höptner of AllUnity, Martin Kreitmair of Tangany, Radoslav Albrecht of Bitbond, Ramin Ghafari of Siemens, Dr. Nina-Luisa Siedler of Bundesblock and Birgit Hass of The Finfluencer Circle.

October 30 and 31: TUM Blockchain & AI Hackathon

On October 30 and 31, the TUM Blockchain & AI Hackathon gives builders of all levels two days to build alongside the conference, with €10,000 in prizes from BSV Association and Cardano. Side events run from October 28 to 31.

Why Finance Loop partners with the TUM Blockchain Conference

The Digital Assets Day covers two of the three Finance Loop tracks, Investment & Digital Assets and Payments & Digital Money. Finance Loop members from Germany, Austria and Switzerland work on these topics at banks, asset managers and fintechs. In Munich they meet the students and researchers of the TUM Blockchain Club and the founders on the speaker list.

The partnership adds to ties that already exist. Finance Loop is a member of Bundesblock, the curator of the Digital Assets Day, and lists the Web3 Talents program of the TUM Blockchain Club in its academy. As a community partner, Finance Loop appears in the conference's partner listing and is on site in Munich.
