Banks and Protocols: The new credit architecture

The Big Whale, Euler Labs and Zaïffer invite you to a breakfast around one of the most important  and transforming areas of finance: credit.

From secured to unsecured lending, credit scoring and yield-generating products, credit has become a contested space where TradFi institutions and blockchain protocols are vying for market share.

The landscape is changing rapidly, with regulatory uncertainty, fragmentation of liquidity and growing institutional interest in DeFi. The boundaries between these worlds are rapidly blurring.

In traditional finance, credit has long been the backbone of capital markets. On blockchain, new protocols are reinventing credit from the ground up, creating both opportunities and tensions as these models converge.

Joinbank executives, DeFi founders and credit infrastructure builders as we explore the future of lending - across traditional rails, decentralised protocols and emerging hybrid models.
