Kaiko, the global digital asset data provider, today announced it will host The Agora, a new institutional forum bringing together decision-makers from traditional finance and digital asset markets. The event will take place on March 31, 2026, in Cannes, France, alongside EthCC, the largest Ethereum community event in Europe.
The one-day gathering is designed for executives responsible for market structure, trading infrastructure, and digital asset strategy as institutional participation continues to grow across digital asset markets.
Representatives from organizations including Standard Chartered Bank, Euronext, DRW, DTCC, Google, S&P Global, Tradeweb, Broadridge, Bloomberg, Solana, Aave, and the Canton Network are expected to participate in discussions throughout the day.
Institutional involvement has expanded rapidly as digital asset markets mature. The sector now exceeds $3 trillion in value, and a recent survey conducted by CfC St. Moritz found that 73% of financial executives believe traditional institutions already represent at least half of market activity.
The Agora will focus on how market infrastructure is evolving as capital markets converge with blockchain-based markets. Discussions will include stablecoins, tokenized collateral, derivatives markets, and capital markets applications on-chain, as well as liquidity, settlement, regulatory compliance, and the shift toward continuous trading.
“Capital markets are entering a new phase as traditional and blockchain-based markets begin to converge,” said Ambre Soubiran, CEO of Kaiko.
“The Agora brings together the institutions and innovators working on the infrastructure and standards that will shape the next stage of global finance.”
Soubiran founded Kaiko in 2014 after spending eight years at HSBC in structured products and investment banking roles. Her background in traditional finance shaped Kaiko’s focus on building institutional-grade market data infrastructure for digital asset markets.
Kaiko has supported the institutional development of digital asset markets for more than a decade by providing market data, analytics, indices, and pricing used by financial institutions globally. The company builds transparent and auditable data infrastructure that allows investors to operate across both traditional financial systems and on-chain markets.
The Agora was created as a forum for institutions working on the next phase of capital markets to exchange views and discuss how market infrastructure is evolving.
