Franklin Templeton and Unblock take the lead roles at the CV Summit Zurich as primary partners
In the heart of Zurich, the CV Summit 2025 brings together 3,000 global decision-makers, investors, and technology leaders to shape the incoming phase of financial evolution [1]. This year's event, taking place on September 23-24 at the Kongresshaus Zurich, highlights the institutionalization and utility of blockchain and AI technology [2].
At the forefront of this transformation are Franklin Templeton and Unblock, two pioneers shaping the new world of wealth management [3]. Franklin Templeton, a major asset manager with over $1.6 trillion in assets under management, has progressed beyond experimentation to global deployment of blockchain-integrated financial products [4]. Their Benji® Technology Platform enables tokenized mutual funds, intraday yield, and instant settlement across nine public blockchains [3]. With live offerings in the USA, Luxembourg, and Singapore, the platform is scaling both institutionally and for retail use [1][3][4].
Unblock, founded by fintech veteran Oscar Flores and former Visa executive Jonathan Palacios, serves as a rising infrastructure layer focused on digital consumer and merchant payments [3]. The platform provides financial "rails" for using digital assets seamlessly in daily life, helping individuals receive salaries in crypto, use cryptocurrency cards, make international transfers, and assist businesses and banks in integrating secure, compliant payment infrastructure [4].
Together as presenting partners at CV Summit 2025, Franklin Templeton and Unblock symbolize the merging of institutional trust with frontier blockchain technology, shaping new financial infrastructure that is efficient, compliant, and accessible [1]. Their collaboration reflects a full arc financial transformation—from tokenizing institutional assets to blockchain-enabled everyday finance—defining the future of global financial systems [2][3][4].
The agenda of CV Summit 2025 spans four tracks: Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, Institutions & Digital Assets, and a dedicated Wealth3 stream focused on wealth and investment in the era of blockchain and AI technology [1]. Key speakers include Sandy Kaul, EVP, Head of Innovation at Franklin Templeton, who will deliver a keynote on "The Future of Wealth Management," and Roger Bayston, Head of Digital Assets at Franklin Templeton, who will lead a workshop on tokenized fund infrastructure [1].
