SIGNALS FROM DAF: DIGITAL ASSETS INFRASTRUCTURE IS ENTERING ITS NEXT PHASE
The Digital Assets Forum in London turned out to be one of those events where you can feel a market maturing in real time. Strong attendance, highly engaged professionals, conversations less about what is possible and more about how to operate at scale, under regulation, and with bank-grade reliability. The event highlighted a clear shift: this is no longer an experimental sandbox, it’s infrastructure territory.
The digital assets space is increasingly facing the same core challenges as traditional financial services — especially on the payments side. The focus is on building API-driven ecosystems, strengthening fraud prevention frameworks, ensuring scalability, enhancing operational resilience, and maintaining the flexibility and control.At the same time, the structure of the digital assets industry differs fundamentally from traditional banking. Clear role segmentation — typical for financial institutions — is largely absent. Market participants often operate across multiple functions simultaneously, and the boundaries between service types remain fluid.The ecosystem is still defining itself. Business models are hybrid, responsibilities overlap, and players continuously adjust their positioning. This results in an environment where services are constantly recombined and products evolve through continuous small adjustments rather than infrequent major releases.
