• Deutsche Börse Group and Frankfurt School of Finance & Management will jointly host the Crypto Assets Conference (CAC26) for the first time, strengthening the institutional dialogue on digital assets. 
• CAC26 positions the Frankfurt financial centre as a key player in the international competition for digital capital-market infrastructures. 

On March 25, Deutsche Börse Group and Frankfurt School of Finance & Management will jointly host the 12th edition of the Crypto Assets Conference (CAC26) for the first time. Through this joint organisation, the conference will be further developed as an institutional platform for dialogue on digital assets, market infrastructure, and regulatory frameworks. 

CAC26 is aimed at decision-makers from the German and European financial industry, as well as representatives from regulatory authorities and politics. The conference focuses on the growing importance of digital assets for capital markets and the competitiveness of the European economy. Through this partnership, Frankfurt School and Deutsche Börse Group combine two complementary perspectives – academia and financial market infrastructure – thereby strengthening the institutional dialogue. 

With this strategic collaboration, the Crypto Assets Conference further consolidates its position as one of the leading digital-assets conferences in Europe, strengthens Frankfurt as a central hub for digital financial markets, and contributes to the positioning of Germany and Europe in the global competition for innovative capital-market structures. 

Prof. Dr. Nils Stieglitz, CEO and President of Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, commented: “With Deutsche Börse Group joining as co-host of the Crypto Assets Conference, we are adding a vital market infrastructure perspective to the event. This partnership strengthens the institutional profile of the CAC and underscores Frankfurt’s role as a leading hub for financial innovation. Together, we are creating a dynamic platform that actively advances the dialogue on digital assets and their role in the financial industry.” 

Dr. Thomas Book, Member of the Executive Board of Deutsche Börse Group, responsible for Trading & Clearing, emphasised: “We are experiencing a fundamental digital transformation of the capital markets. Tokenization of assets is key to the next generation of financial market infrastructure. The Crypto Assets Conference, together with Frankfurt School as a strong partner, is proof of the leading role that Frankfurt as a financial center and Deutsche Börse Group as a leading financial market infrastructure in Europe are playing in shaping this change.”
