Fireblocks CFO Michael Levine explains why banks and payments companies are moving onto blockchain infrastructure, and what comes next.

An internal auditor from Boerse Stuttgart Digital explains how a Fireblocks-hosted pooled audit helped meet DORA's third-party ICT requirements. Instead of every customer auditing Fireblocks one by one, the pooled audit community joined forces on a single common audit: shared scope, shared evidence, shared result. In this conversation, the pooled audit coordinator walks through how the community set the scope, why a pooled audit covers customer-specific requirements that a standard SOC 2 might miss, and how Fireblocks supported the process with subject matter experts, documentation, and on-site coordination.

89% of banks have committed budget to digital asset infrastructure. Only 16% are in production. The Financial Grid, our January 2026 survey of 600+ C-suite leaders at banks and corporates, maps what sits between funded and live. Barnaby Nelson, CEO of the Value Exchange, whose team ran the research, joins Fireblocks' Tim Way to unpack the gap: the internal constraints, the custody decision at the foundation, and the one call that turns budget into production.
