Welcome from Amy Bryant, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Jersey Finance
It is a pleasure to welcome you to FINx 2026, our flagship fintech event, as we return for a second year to explore the developments shaping the future of financial services.
Following last year’s inaugural event, which explored both artificial intelligence and digital assets, we have chosen to dedicate this year’s programme entirely to digital assets, with a particular focus on institutional tokenisation and what it means for Jersey.
This is a deliberate decision. As tokenisation, digital money and digital-asset infrastructure become increasingly relevant to mainstream financial services, we believe the subject warrants a deeper conversation, grounded in practical applications, emerging opportunities and the challenges firms need to consider.
For Jersey, these developments are closely connected to areas in which our industry has long-established expertise, including funds, private assets, legal structuring, administration and governance. Digital assets do not remove the need for trusted professionals, robust regulatory frameworks or effective oversight. Instead, they present new opportunities and considerations for service delivery.
With this in mind, the programme brings together industry experts and practitioners to explore where tokenisation is gaining traction, what is driving adoption and where the opportunities may lie for Jersey. We will also examine the business case for digital money, how tokenised structures can work through Jersey in practice and the considerations for firms developing their own digital-asset strategies.
Importantly, we will hear about Jersey’s own progress and priorities in this area. The Digital Assets Innovation Council (DAIC) brings together Government, the regulator and industry to support a coordinated approach to digital assets. I am pleased that representatives from the Government of Jersey, the Jersey Financial Services Commission and Jersey Finance will share their perspectives on the Island’s direction and what comes next.
Whether you are already working in this space or are looking to understand what these developments could mean for your organisation, I hope the discussions provide valuable insights and practical takeaways. We have also included a selection of articles and insights within this e-Programme for anyone looking to build their understanding of digital assets and explore some of the key concepts covered throughout the day.
My thanks go to our speakers, sponsors and exhibitors for their support, and to all our Members for joining us. I encourage you to ask questions, share perspectives and make the most of the opportunities to connect throughout the event.
I hope you enjoy FINx 2026.
Keynote Speaker
Tokenisation: where adoption is happening and what’s driving it
Angie Walker has 30+ years in banking & capital markets, with specific focus on mission critical front office & financial market infrastructures. The last 9 years she has worked in blockchain/DLT innovation helping to transform FMI’s and their counterparties in regulated financial markets industry through diverse range of strategic initiatives in both the digital asset and the digital cash side of the digital innovation industry.
She is currently working on how we transform traditional financial services infrastructure to enable it to accommodate digital assets and decentralised (blockchain based) workflows alongside traditional assets and traditional infrastructures. Including how we move from a very traditional 8/5 type world to a 24/7 “always on” capability including where applicable the settlement of that transaction, across a range of different services whether that’s traditional PM funds or digital treasuries.
