EBC12 Day 2 from Barcelona 🇪🇸 That’s a wrap on European Blockchain Convention 12 – and Day 2 felt even more focused on real use cases. Here are the main takeaways we heard in Barcelona: 🔹 Tokenisation needs to show real economic value 🔹 Capital is coming, but gradually 🔹 Always-on markets are getting closer 🔹 Crypto ETFs are entering their next phase 🔹 MiCA is still evolving 🔹 Custody remains one of the hardest parts The main feeling after two days: blockchain is no longer being discussed as something separate from finance. It is becoming part of the financial stack. Now the hard part begins – making it useful, scalable, and commercially relevant. Huge thanks to the EBC12 team, speakers, partners, and everyone we met in Barcelona. Great event, great energy, and a lot of ideas to take home. Chat | Website
