BlackRock, NYSE, State Street and Bank of America join London Blockchain Summit's July 7 event to solve tokenisation bottlenecks. BAC Alpha Score 65, STT 70.
London Blockchain Summit will host a one-day Institutional Tokenisation Summit on July 7, bringing BlackRock, NYSE, State Street, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Galaxy Digital, Clearstream, CoinShares, NatWest, and Re7 Capital into the same room. The event takes place at DLA Piper in London and is designed to tackle the operational bottlenecks that keep tokenised assets from scaling past pilot stages.
The summit's agenda runs through three structural problems. First, the legal, custody and settlement foundations that make a tokenised asset safe for institutional use. Second, the infrastructure gap between what exists today and what markets need before tokenised assets can be traded, financed, and used as collateral at scale. Third, a hard look at which asset classes – gold, commodities, equities – have genuine structural problems that digital infrastructure can solve, and where the commercial case is already being built.
Organizers see the tokenization lifecycle as a single market structure problem, not a series of technology questions. The agenda covers primary issuance, secondary trading, collateral mobility, and custody scalability as connected parts of one pipeline. With speakers from the UK, the US, Switzerland, and the European Union, the programme addresses the 24/7 liquidity dynamics and cross-border coordination that will define how tokenised markets function.
Most tokenised asset projects fail before reaching the market, said Alex Stein, conference director at London Blockchain Summit. The reason is not the technology. It is that the foundations were not built for institutions from the start. Stein said the event connects buyers, distributors, market makers, and infrastructure providers – groups that rarely meet together.
For investors tracking the firms involved, the summit signals that tokenised asset infrastructure is moving from proof-of-concept toward operational reality. Bank of America (BAC) carries an Alpha Score of 65, labelled Moderate, reflecting an established institutional distribution channel with moderate risk. State Street (STT) scores 70, also Moderate, with similar positioning in asset servicing and custody. Both firms stand to benefit from aligned standards in tokenisation – the same standards the summit aims to advance.
Registration closes June 30. Programme details are available through the London Blockchain Summit website.
