As institutional participation in digital assets grows, attention is shifting from access to how trading works in practice. Liquidity remains fragmented across venues, execution models vary significantly, and consistency in pricing, counterparty risk and custody frameworks is still developing. This panel brings together buy-side, liquidity providers and platforms to assess how institutions are accessing liquidity today, what's working in execution, and where the gaps remain. A practical discussion on the structural, operational and risk considerations that need to be addressed for digital assets to scale within institutional trading workflows.

Institutional adoption depends on infrastructure that meets strict standards for security, resilience, and operational control. This panel explores how custody models, trading venues, and post-trade processes are evolving. What are institutions demanding from providers today- and where are the gaps that still prevent digital assets from scaling within institutional portfolios?
