2026 Digital Assets and Tokenization: From Hype to Infrastructure

EisnerAmper

invites you to a panel discussion:Digital Assets and Tokenization: From Hype to Infrastructure — A Practical Briefing for Sophisticated InvestorsDigital assets and tokenization have moved from a speculative story to something investors actually have to deal with. The market for tokenized real-world assets — Treasuries, private credit, money-market funds, and similar instruments represented on a blockchain — has grown from under $1 billion in 2022 to more than $30 billion by mid-2026. Major asset managers now treat it as a core allocation theme, not a side bet.Still, this activity remains a small slice of the money managed by advisors and institutions today. That leaves family offices, RIAs, and allocators asking a fair question: what part of this is real, lasting infrastructure, and what's just noise?This panel brings together distinct perspectives to help attendees cut through the noise and understand, in plain language, what's actually happening:<ul><li>A provider working directly in tokenized real-world assets, on how traditional assets move onto a blockchain and what that means for liquidity and access.</li><li>A digital asset investment firm, on where strategies like decentralized finance, lending, and futures trading fit — and don't fit — into a traditional portfolio.</li></ul><h2>Speakers</h2><ul><li>John Delalio, Partner, Blockchain and Digital Assets, EisnerAmper</li><li>Han Liu, Co-Founder and CTO, CoinBridge</li><li>Ryan Zega, Head of Structured Finance, Aptos Labs</li></ul><h2>Agenda</h2><ul><li>6:00 pm Registration and networking reception with lite bites</li><li>6:30 pm Panel Discussion and Q&amp;A</li><li>7:30 - 8:15 pm Networking reception</li></ul> <h2>This panel discussion is sponsored and moderated by EisnerAmper.</h2> <h2>Speaker Bio</h2>John Delalio - He is a Partner in EisnerAmper's Blockchain &amp; Digital Asset Services Group, where he helps digital asset companies build the financial systems and controls that satisfy auditors, investors, and regulators.
