Digital Assets Forum Expands: Traditional Banks and Crypto Leaders to Unite in London #
Following two sold-out editions, the Digital Assets Forum (DAF) is set to return to London in February 2026, bigger than ever before. The event is expanding to two full days, bringing together decision-makers from the worlds of traditional finance and digital assets under one roof.
More Days, More Depth #
DAF3 will take place on February 5-6, 2026, in the heart of London’s financial district. The venue, Convene at 133 Houndsditch, will host hundreds of industry participants. From major asset managers and hedge funds to crypto startups and family offices, the attendees collectively represent over €3 trillion in assets under management.
The expansion to two days allows for greater depth and more meaningful connections. The program will include a special 1-on-1 matchmaking service, an AI-powered networking app, and private rooms for discussions between investors and innovators.
The Future of Finance is Discussed Here #
According to co-founder Victoria Gago, the expansion is a logical step. “Two times in a row, the forum was completely booked. It was clear: more space was needed—literally and in terms of content,” she said. “This two-day format gives institutions and crypto experts the real time to build the future together.”
And that future, according to the organizers, lies in the tokenization of assets: making assets like real estate, funds, or even carbon credits digitally available. Estimates suggest that by 2030, there will be over $16 trillion in tokenized assets globally.
High-Level Speakers #
Speakers will include top executives from J.P. Morgan, Aave Labs, CoinFund, and Dow Jones. They will share their insights on topics such as tokenization, DeFi, market structure, stablecoins, AI in finance, and regulation. With growing regulatory clarity around crypto in both the UK and Europe, London serves as a logical meeting point.
Where Old and New Worlds Meet #
DAF was founded in 2024 by the European Blockchain Convention and has quickly evolved into the premier forum where traditional financial institutions and digital pioneers meet. Previous editions attracted leaders from firms like BlackRock, Fidelity, and Coinbase.
The goal of DAF remains clear: no hype, but real conversations focused on collaboration, investment, and shaping a modern financial sector.
