The program sets out to address a fundamental, pressing question currently facing the global financial sector: what happens as core components like payments, custody, trading, and yield rapidly migrate onchain, and how should institutions, builders, and regulatory bodies respond?
The narrative surrounding digital assets has shifted from speculative retail trading to institutional-grade utility. Organizers note that the historical division between traditional financial infrastructure and decentralized networks is actively collapsing as both sides begin solving identical problems.
“People building onchain infrastructure and running regulated financial institutions are finally working on the same problems,” said Mary Pedler, founder of INPUT Global. “A year ago, these were separate conversations. The (un)Banked brings the right people into one room.”
To facilitate this dialogue, the speaker lineup features prominent voices from established institutional and native digital players alike, including Standard Chartered Luxembourg, Commercial Bank International, VanEck Europe, Dragonfly, Wirex, and Foresight Ventures.
A primary focus of the conference will be the evolution of stablecoins and real-world asset tokenization. The conversation has transitioned from conceptual pilots to massive operational scale, with global stablecoin transaction volumes hitting a staggering $33trillion in 2025.
Konstantins Vasilenko, co-Founder of global crypto and fiat infrastructure platform Paybis—which is serving as the event’s title sponsor—emphasized the need for collaborative execution.
“Paybis wants to help move the stablecoin conversation from theory to implementation,” Vasilenko stated. “For many businesses, the question is now how to plug these rails into payments, settlement, and treasury flows. The important work is building compliant infrastructure that banks, fintechs, and crypto companies can actually use together.”
The event’s operational alignment is further reinforced by category sponsors Pure Wallet App and Foresight Ventures, alongside community sponsor The Vault, a Swiss-regulated crypto infrastructure provider.
The (un)Banked conference will run from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM local time at the Fosbury & Sons Members’ Club, a restored 19th-century building located on the Prinsengracht canal in central Amsterdam.
Reflecting its senior executive audience, the event is supported by key media and community entities. The Fintech Times and FinanceWire will serve as official media partners, alongside community partnerships with Introduction.com and the Luxembourg House of Web3.
Registration for the conference is currently live via Luma, with entry subject to host approval due to capacity constraints. To learn more about the agenda or request an invitation, executives can view the official event portal.
