The $30 Trillion Shift, Institutional Capital and Digital Finance

An estimated US$12 trillion in private wealth is actively seeking new sources of yield, while global institutions are reassessing how capital is allocated, managed, and accessed. This session examines the structural changes enabling institutional capital to engage with digital finance at scale — from custody and portfolio infrastructure to governance, risk management, and execution models. As digital assets move from experimentation to balance-sheet deployment, the discussion explores why Asia is emerging as a critical growth market and what it will take to support a US$30 trillion institutional opportunity responsibly and sustainably.
