CV Summit 2025 is where these once-separate worlds meet to define the new generation of financial infrastructure and offerings: efficient, compliant, and accessible,\u201d said Olaf Hannemann, CIO and Co-Founder of CV VC, which is a co-organizer of <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cvsummit.ch\/event-info\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">CV Summit<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Institutional scale meets blockchain innovation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Franklin Templeton has moved well beyond blockchain experimentation and is now leading global deployment. Their Benji<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Technology Platform powers tokenized mutual funds, intraday yield, and instant settlement across 9 public blockchains, with live products in the USA, Luxembourg, and Singapore, now scaling globally for institutional and retail use.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been building blockchain-integrated solutions since 2017,\u201d said Roger Bayston, Head of Digital Assets at Franklin Templeton. \u201cOur presence at CV Summit reflects our belief that tokenized products, composable infrastructure, and tools like intraday yield are the future of finance. The world is changing, but we\u2019re ready for it at Franklin Templeton. We\u2019re proud to be leading the world to a new financial infrastructure. CV Summit is the right place to engage with the Swiss and European financial community on this evolution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Franklin Templeton will feature in multiple summit sessions. Sandy Kaul, EVP, Head of Innovation, will deliver a keynote on \u201cThe Future of Wealth Management,\u201d while Bayston will lead a workshop on tokenized fund infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Complementing Franklin Templeton\u2019s institutional leadership, Unblock<strong> <\/strong>is building the consumer and merchant rails that make digital assets usable in everyday financial life. Founded by fintech veteran Oscar Flores and former Visa executive Jonathan Palacios, Unblock enables users to receive salaries, spend with crypto cards, and remit globally while providing merchants and financial institutions with frictionless, compliant digital payment infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStablecoins are at the core of the shift to a more useful, user-friendly financial future,\u201d said Oscar Flores, CEO of Unblock. \u201cWe\u2019re not just building new rails, we\u2019re making blockchain invisible, but indispensable. CV Summit is the right forum to show how far crypto has come in terms of usability, compliance, and real-world impact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unblock\u2019s participation marks its strategic entry into the European market, via Switzerland, with a focus on regulatory alignment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A turning point for finance, banking, wealth generation and management<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Held in Zurich, one of the world\u2019s leading financial centers, adjacent to Crypto Valley, one of the world\u2019s most mature digital asset hubs with over 1,800 active blockchain entities, CV Summit convenes the pioneers shaping the incoming phase of financial evolution. According to the University of St Gallen\u2019s Centre for Financial Services Innovation, over 80% of Swiss banks plan to develop or expand blockchain offerings, underscoring Switzerland\u2019s distinct role in driving not just Banking 3.0 but the rise of blockchain and AI in the new world of Wealth management. Many of these will also participate as event partners, including PostFinance and Luzerner Kantonal Bank.<\/p>\n<p>Taking place on September 23\u201324, 2025, at the Kongresshaus Zurich, CV Summit brings together 3,000 global decision-makers, investors, financial institutions, asset managers, and technology leaders. The agenda spans four tracks: Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, Institutions &amp; Digital Assets, and a dedicated Wealth\u00b3 stream focused on wealth and investment in this evolutionary era of blockchain and AI technology.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, speakers, agenda highlights, and registration, visit <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cvsummit.ch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">the official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>CV Summit media enquiries: [email\u00a0protected]<br \/>CV Summit partner enquiries: [email\u00a0protected]\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer\">\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__icon\">\n            <svg class=\"icon icon-info\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-info\"><\/use> <\/svg>        <\/div>\n<p class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__content\">\n            Disclosure: This content is provided by a third party.
