Crypto Assets Conference
The Crypto Assets Conference (CAC) is a specialist conference on blockchain and digital assets. Frankfurt School of Finance & Management organizes the conference on its campus in Frankfurt am Main. The program covers digital financial products, market infrastructure and regulation.
The conference brings professionals from banks, investment firms and crypto businesses together with researchers and representatives of public authorities. Talks and panel discussions examine practical projects and the rules for digital financial markets. Visitors can use these discussions to compare approaches to issuing, trading and holding digital assets.
Who organizes the Crypto Assets Conference
Frankfurt School of Finance & Management runs the conference through its Centre for Digital Economics (FS-C4DE), which until spring 2026 was the Frankfurt School Blockchain Center. For CAC26, Frankfurt School and Deutsche Börse Group hosted the conference together.
CAC brings professionals from traditional finance and digital assets together in the DACH region and beyond. The program is aimed at decision-makers from the German and European financial industry, supervisors and policymakers.
What the conference covers
CAC starts from capital markets: tokenized securities, collateral management and the market infrastructure that banks and exchanges build for digital assets. Regulation runs through every edition, from MiCAR and stablecoins to the German Electronic Securities Act (eWpG) and the EU DLT Pilot Regime. Wholesale central bank digital currencies, institutional crypto trading and custody, and the links between DeFi and traditional finance complete the program.
Attendees, format and past editions
CAC26 drew more than 550 people on site and more than 3,000 online, with talks and panels on two stages; the conference is hybrid, and recordings of CAC26 are online. The editions carry the year in their name: CAC 2025, CAC26 and next CAC27, which is also the hashtag.
The venue is the Frankfurt School campus at Adickesallee 32-34 in Frankfurt am Main. The Digital Euro Conference takes place on the same campus, and in 2026 it followed CAC on the next day.

When is CAC27?
CAC27, the Crypto Assets Conference 2027, takes place on 7 April 2027 at Frankfurt School of Finance & Management in Frankfurt am Main, (Crypto Assets Conference). Tickets and hotel contingents are sold there.
What does CAC stand for?
CAC stands for Crypto Assets Conference, and the editions add the year, as in CAC 2025, CAC26 and CAC27.
Is the Crypto Assets Conference only about crypto?
Most sessions deal with how banks, exchanges and asset managers use tokenization, digital money and crypto assets under existing securities and banking law. Speakers come from banks, market infrastructure, supervisors and academia as well as from crypto firms.
How is CAC different from the other Frankfurt conferences?
CAC concentrates on digital assets and their regulation in capital markets. Frankfurt Digital Finance covers the digital change of the whole financial industry over two days, and the Digital Euro Conference covers central bank money and stablecoins. Finance Loop is a partner of all three Frankfurt conferences.
