Digital Asset Proposition and Operating Model
Blockchain technology and digital assets open up a lot of relevant use cases along the entire value chain of banks and insurance companies. Our experience shows that to make use of the opportunities imposed by digital assets, crucial strategic questions need to be answered right in the beginning of any digital assets journey. Based on that roadmap, an initial Target Operating Model can accelerate digital asset related services such as trading cryptocurrencies and digital values, staking or tokenization. Based on your strategy and our best practices, we help you to establish an operating model enabling booking, settling, monitoring, and reporting of digital assets in a safe and efficient way right from the beginning.

- Which use cases match the strategic roadmap of my organization?
- Can I increase my assets under management or provide a new asset class for my investment management clients?
- How can I make sure to address the market in an efficient and scalable way?
- How can I address upcoming client needs, such as e.g. to trade digital assets or tokenize art?
- What are key regulatory requirements and supervisory authorities’ expectations for banks offering services around digital assets and crypto and how can these be best implemented?
What you will get from us:
- Identified use cases and individual digital asset roadmap based on your strategy, your individual business model and best practices
- Initial target operating model to accelerate and provide the foundation for your digital asset journey
