From June 2 to 4, 2026, Money20/20 Europe—one of the world’s most influential fintech conferences—was held in Amsterdam. Centered around the theme “Where Money Does Business,” the event brought together global banks, payment providers, fintech companies, regulators, and digital asset infrastructure providers to explore the profound transformation underway in global money movement.
As a digital asset infrastructure provider, Cregis engaged in high-density discussions at Booth K18 with partners from across industries and regions. The conversations focused on the real-world adoption of institutional-grade digital asset custody, enterprise wallet systems, and on-chain payment and settlement infrastructure across practical business scenarios.
Money20/20 Europe: The Emerging Convergence of Traditional Finance and On-Chain Systems
As one of the most important annual gatherings in global fintech, Money20/20 Europe has increasingly reflected a clear structural shift: the boundary between traditional financial institutions and Web3 infrastructure is rapidly dissolving.
This year’s agenda, covering tokenized money, next-generation financial infrastructure, intelligent payment networks, and the convergence of AI and financial services, pointed toward a common direction: the financial system is entering a new phase defined by programmability and real-time settlement.
In Europe, this transformation is particularly pronounced. On one hand, a mature and stringent regulatory environment provides clarity and confidence for institutional participation. On the other, growing demand in cross-border trade and payments is driving urgent needs for more efficient, lower-cost, and programmable global settlement networks.
Against this backdrop, on-chain payments and stablecoins are no longer viewed merely as emerging technologies, but are increasingly becoming a core pathway in the evolution of financial infrastructure.
Cregis: Building the Next-Generation Digital Asset Infrastructure for Institutional Needs
During Money20/20 Europe, Cregis held in-depth conversations with banks, payment institutions, corporate finance teams, and infrastructure partners, focusing on the core requirements of institutional users in real-world scenarios. These include secure asset custody, capital efficiency, cross-border settlement capabilities, and regulatory compliance frameworks.
Shawn, Founder of Cregis, commented:
“What we observed at this year’s event is a very clear shift: institutional clients are no longer just exploring on-chain capabilities—they are actively evaluating how to integrate them into existing financial systems. For them, security, compliance, and system-level stability have become just as critical as functionality.”
He further noted that with the accelerating adoption of stablecoin payments and tokenized assets in real commercial use cases, the value proposition of digital asset infrastructure is being redefined.
Cregis will continue working with global partners to evolve digital asset infrastructure from being merely “usable” to being truly “scalable,” enabling on-chain finance to become an integral part of the global financial and payments ecosystem.
Advancing Digital Asset Infrastructure on a Global Scale
For Cregis, Money20/20 Europe was more than just a platform for industry engagement—it was an opportunity to validate real market demand firsthand. From custody security and cross-border settlement to compliance frameworks and system reliability, every topic prioritized by institutional clients reinforces the same trend: digital asset infrastructure is evolving from a proof of concept into a business-critical necessity.
This month, Cregis will also be attending the iFX EXPO Cyprus, continuing conversations with partners across the global fintech and brokerage industries. Looking ahead, Cregis will remain active across key markets in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific, working alongside banks, payment institutions, compliance providers, and ecosystem partners to explore new pathways for the adoption of on-chain payments and institutional digital asset infrastructure—helping global value transfer operate on networks that are more efficient, secure, and trusted.
