Source: CritpoTendencia Original Title: DAF3 Expands in London: Europe's Largest Institutional Digital Asset Forum Doubles in Size by 2026 Original Link: After two completely sold-out editions, the Digital Assets Forum (DAF), organized by the European Blockchain Convention (EBC), returns to London with a historic expansion. On February 5 and 6, 2026, the third edition of the event will take place at Convene, 133 Houndsditch, in the heart of the city's financial district, solidifying London as the leading European hub for digital asset markets.

This year, the forum evolves from a single day to two full days, a change that reflects the acceleration of institutional adoption and the growing demand for space for strategic interaction among market players.

The event will bring together key figures from asset management firms, family offices, banks, hedge funds, and digital asset firms, representing a total of €3 trillion in assets under management.

The new structure incorporates a 1:1 meeting program, an AI-driven networking app, and private areas to enhance direct connections between investors and developers of digital financial solutions.

The meeting point where traditional finance and Web3 define the future of the market

After two completely sold-out editions, it was clear that the market needed more space, said Victoria Gago, Co-Founder of EBC, highlighting that the expansion will allow for deeper alliances and address the most relevant topics shaping the future of finance.

Daniel Salmerón, also Co-Founder of EBC, added: “We are entering an era where every asset - from funds to real estate or carbon credits - can exist on-chain”. For him, DAF3 will be the ground where institutions and crypto leaders will define how this transformation advances safely, transparently, and at scale.

The event comes at a time when tokenization is positioning itself as one of the most dynamic fronts of financial innovation. Analysts project that tokenized assets will surpass $16 trillion by 2030, as large institutions launch products covering treasury, credit, and real estate.

DAF3 will address, in addition to tokenization and DeFi, topics such as market structure, custody, the role of AI in finance, stablecoins, regulatory compliance, and new banking practices. With regulatory frameworks maturing across the UK and Europe, London emerges as the natural setting for dialogue among regulators, capital managers, and digital pioneers.

A lineup with influential voices in the industry

Among the confirmed speakers are Christopher Perkins (President of CoinFund), Emma Lovett (Executive Director at JPMorgan), Stani Kulechov (Founder and CEO of Aave Labs), Bilal Jafar (Digital Assets Lead at Dow Jones), Alexandre Laizet (Capital B), and Santiago Roel Santos (Investment).

The set represents the breadth of modern finance: from banking to quantitative managers and crypto-native funds, all aligned towards a more efficient, tokenized, and data-driven market.
