l finance cities, and next to Crypto Valley, which has a busy blockchain community with over 1,800 active companies. CV Summit has become the key meeting point for financial institutions and cutting-edge technology. This year’s focus: how blockchain, AI, and digital asset infrastructure are moving to core systems, powering both large-scale institutional strategies and everyday financial use cases.
“The participation of Franklin Templeton and Unblock show the full arc of financial conversion, from the tokenization of organisational assets to the smooth use of blockchain in daily transactions,” said Olaf Hannemann, CIO and Co-Founder of CV VC, co-organizer of CV Summit. “This is where these once-separate worlds meet to build efficient, compliant, and accessible financial infrastructure for the future.”
The 2025, te event will have four main topics or area of focus:
Blockchain. Driving infrastructure and innovation
Institutions & Digital Assets. Banking, capital markets, and compliant adoption
Wealth³. Digital-era investment and wealth management
Artificial Intelligence. Accelerating financial evolution
With research from the University of St. Gallen showing over 80% of Swiss banks now developing or expanding blockchain offerings, CV Summit sits at the forefront of a structural shift that is redefining finance not only worldwide but in Switzerland.
Institutional Scale Meets Everyday Utility
Franklin Templeton, one of the world’s top asset managers handling more than $1.6 trillion in assets, has progressed from testing new ideas to applying them worldwide. Its Benji® Technology Platform powers tokenized mutual funds, intraday yield, and instant settlement across nine public blockchains, with live products in the US, Luxembourg, and Singapore, now scaling globally for institutional and retail use.
“We’ve been developing blockchain-based solutions since 2017,” said Roger Bayston, Head of Digital Assets at Franklin Templeton. “Our presence at CV Summit represents our belief that tokenized products, modular infrastructure, and tools like intraday yield are the future of finance. The world is changing, but we’re ready for it at Franklin Templeton. We take pride in guiding the world to a new era of financial framework. CV Summit is the right place to engage with the Swiss and European financial community on this evolution.”
Unblock, co-founded by fintech veteran Oscar Flores and former Visa executive Jonathan Palacios, is building consumer and merchant payment rails that make blockchain invisible yet indispensable. Its infrastructure allows crypto-based salaries, worldwide remittances, merchant payouts, and regulated digital transactions at scale.
“Stablecoins are central to a more practical, user-friendly financial future,” said Flores. “At CV Summit, we’ll show how far blockchain has come in usability, compliance, and real-world impact.”
Beside Franklin Templeton and Unblock, CV Summit 2025 will include top personalities and companies in blockchain, digital asset and AI. Important participants from Switzerland, like PostFinance, Sygnum and Luzerner Kantonal Bank, will also join.
