Hello Sheraz, thanks for speaking with me today at Money20/20 Europe 2026. 1. STORM Partners has recently been highlighted as a key advisory firm helping institutions with stablecoin adoption under tight regulations across jurisdictions. Given all this, how are you positioning Storm to be a front-line partner for traditional banks looking to integrate stablecoins in their payment and settlement systems at scale, especially under frameworks like MiCA? 2. With tokenization emerging as a major trend in mainstream finance, which sectors or asset classes do you see as the lowest-hanging fruit for tokenization — and how is Storm helping clients prepare the legal, technical, and regulatory groundwork to tokenize those assets? 3. Cybersecurity, custody, and regulatory clarity are often cited as barriers for TradFi institutions entering digital asset spaces. How is Storm building or recommending infrastructure to address those challenges without compromising compliance and operational efficiency? 4. Many institutions are cautious about distributed ledger technologies when it comes to scalability, interoperability, and energy footprint. In your view, which blockchain protocols or architectures are most promising for regulated digital asset infrastructure in Europe (or globally), and how is Storm helping clients choose between them? 5. How is Storm advising clients to prepare for potential regulatory shocks — for example, tightening rules on reserve backing for stablecoins, changes to cross-border payments law, or new taxation/reporting regimes for tokenized assets? 6. Beyond technology and regulation, mass adoption requires public and institutional trust. What communication, transparency, or governance practices do you believe are essential for companies to earn that trust — and how does Storm itself model those practices? 7. Looking ahead over the next 12 to 24 months, what major milestones do you expect Storm to achieve — either in your own operations or in the broader industry — in integrating blockchain into mainstream finance through stablecoins, tokenization, or regulated infrastructure?
