Bermuda Digital Finance Forum 2026
The excitement is palpable as the Bermuda Digital Finance Forum announces its return for a second year, scheduled from May 11 to 14, 2026, at the Hamilton Princess Beach Club in Bermuda. Organized by SALT, a distinguished global investment forum, alongside Penrose Partners, a digital asset advisory firm based in Bermuda, this forum promises to be an event that shapes the future landscape of digital finance.
Building on Last Year’s Success
The inaugural event proved to be a transformative experience, bringing together leading asset allocators, asset managers, and entrepreneurs who are crucial in driving advancements in digital finance, fintech, and artificial intelligence. The upcoming forum will retain the spirit of high-level dialogue and curated networking found in its predecessor. Notably, Coinbase and Circle return as prominent sponsors, building upon a vibrant community initiative that successfully onboarded over 400 local residents into the digital finance ecosystem.
The forum's agenda includes two days dedicated to core programming that emphasizes stablecoin adoption, insurance innovations, and the role of AI in financial services. A significant highlight this year includes on-the-ground activations aimed at integrating Bermudian residents and local businesses into the ever-evolving digital finance landscape.
Leadership Perspectives
John Darsie, the CEO of SALT, expressed enthusiasm about the forum's return, highlighting its role in accelerating meaningful discussions among global leaders who are influencing the evolution of digital finance. "It continues to highlight Bermuda as a hub for innovation, investment, and regulatory progress," remarked Darsie.
Sean Stapley, Partner at Penrose Partners, emphasized the forum's unique ability to connect global leadership in digital assets with local financial practices. "By merging institutional dialogue with hands-on community engagement, we can support the growth of the digital asset ecosystem in Bermuda," he stated.
Adding to the excitement, the Hon. E. David Burt, JP, MP, Premier of Bermuda, articulated the government's commitment to digital finance. Last year's forum engagement marked a crucial milestone in Bermuda's digital finance journey and laid the foundation for substantial local participation and education in using digital currencies. "This Forum reinforces our standing as a global leader in digital finance regulation and innovation," said Burt.
