Future of Finance — by The Big Whale
Where traditional finance meets the digital asset industry. Future of Finance is a 45-minute moderated panel bringing together institutional decision-makers, protocol leaders, and market experts to break down the trends reshaping capital markets — from tokenized assets and on-chain collateral to institutional DeFi and stablecoin treasury management. Hosted by Aleksandar, Lead Research Analyst at The Big Whale.
Future of Finance #6: Who governs the vault?
Risk curation and the new asset-management layer
As TradFi-backed managers move into onchain vaults, one question comes up again and again: who governs the risk, and who answers when it goes wrong? Does accountability sit with the protocol, the curator, or the asset manager?
In this 45-minute session, we bring together a curator, a bank-backed asset manager and an institutional allocator to look at how vault risk is set, priced and held to account.
Format
A data-driven overview of current vault curation, drawing on TBW's proprietary research
How curators define and price risk, and how institutional managers differ from crypto-native ones
The institutional perspective on due diligence and accountability
Live Q&A
