The $80T Question: TradFi, Gen Z and the Pursuit of a Digital-Asset Wealth Strategy
The largest intergenerational wealth transfer in history—more than $80 trillion shifting from Baby Boomers to Millennials/Gen Z—is already underway. At the same time, the rise of digital assets are quickly piquing the interest of younger generations, digital natives with a much higher level of comfort experimenting with crypto, tokenized assets and alternative investments.
The big challenge: How does TradFi lean into Millennials and Gen Z—moving away from advisory and portfolio-based wealth management to a model that relies on “engagement and ecosystem”—and incorporate digital-native products, custody and education to solidify their relationships with these wealth management clients? Uphold’s Nancy Beaton, Kaiko’s Ambre Soubiran, and Tephra Digital’s Raghav Chopra dissect where the action is headed—and why.
The Future of On-Chain Finance: Why It’s Time to Bank on a Digital-Asset Economy

Together they examine the areas where TradFi has a competitive advantage—tokenized deposits and assets, blockchain-based payments and custody settlement, crypto lending, and compliance and regulation. If TradFi and crypto companies are to thrive, it’s critical that they work together to bridge the infrastructural and cultural gaps. Register now to gain access to the November 4th virtual summit.
