About this session
As digital money infrastructure matures, more institutions are converging on the same handful of providers for custody, reserves, and connectivity. This concentration brings real efficiency and security benefits but it also creates correlated risk: a single provider's failure, outage, or reserve issue can propagate across multiple institutions at once, often in ways that aren't visible until it happens.
This session brings regulators and industry together to examine what resilient design actually requires as tokenization scales and the market consolidates, across technical redundancy, structural safeguards, transparency of dependency chains, and governance during a shared-provider failure. This roundtable aims to produce a set of principles on where responsibility should sit across the chain(s). -
