The Digital Asset Summit by DNB in September marks a new step in the digital asset journey of DNB. DNB has an “iterative” roadmap and is piloting on an internal tech platform, but is not ready to kick the launch button on any products as of now.
In a 40‑minute interview, Kaupr spoke with two members of DNB’s digital asset core team, Ole Morten Sunde and Nikolai Gobel. The discussion covered global, European and Nordic trends, and developments in technology, finance and regulation. Specific product areas such as custody, stablecoins, CBDCs, tokenization of securities, ETPs/ETFs and crypto trading were also addressed.
Sunde and Gobel described the bank’s approach as “iterative,” noting that DNB has built a technical platform to test and develop proof‑of‑concepts.
“We hope to get enough elements in place to more actively engage with customers in this space, and hopefully launch relevant products,” Sunde said in the interview”
