Bringing Institutional Data Onchain: Why Interoperability and Privacy Matter

As financial institutions move from experimentation to production-grade blockchain adoption, a critical challenge remains: how can sensitive institutional data be securely utilized across fragmented networks while meeting stringent privacy, compliance, and operational requirements?

Join Kristen Mierzwa, Head of Digital Assets at FTSE Russell, and Frank Seibold, Head of Banking & Capital Markets at Chainlink, for a fireside conversation exploring how interoperability and privacy-preserving technologies are emerging as foundational enablers of institutional adoption. The discussion will examine how trusted data can move seamlessly between traditional and digital financial systems, the role of privacy controls in protecting proprietary information, and why these capabilities are essential for bringing high-value institutional datasets onchain.

Together, they will share perspectives on the infrastructure required to support tokenized assets, digital fund ecosystems, and next-generation capital markets—while maintaining the trust, governance, and regulatory standards that institutions demand.
