From Crypto Access to Institutional Operating System

About this episode

Thomas Langbein discusses the shift in digital asset adoption in banking and the importance of infrastructure.

Thomas Langbein, Chief Commercial Officer at Trever, explains why digital asset adoption in banking is shifting from experimentation to operationalisation—and why infrastructure is becoming the real bottleneck. He shares how Trever’s “digital asset operating system” helps banks integrate trading, custody, settlement, and compliance into one coherent setup across crypto, stablecoins, and tokenised assets. The conversation explores how institutional strategies are evolving beyond crypto into payments and capital markets, and what it takes to build a future-ready banking infrastructure.
