Tech for Fin, Copenhagen Fintech's programme on digital assets

Copenhagen Fintech is a hub for fintech companies in Copenhagen. In 2026 its programme Tech for Fin was about digital assets, and Aryze joined in May.

The idea we took into the programme came from a masterclass Copenhagen Fintech held in April on stablecoins, digital money tied to a normal currency such as the dollar. Afterwards I wrote on LinkedIn that issuing a stablecoin had become the easy part, and that the gap was the infrastructure that makes it usable between systems and currencies.

On 21 May, at the programme's first session, I gave a seven-slide talk called "Issuance is solved. Operation is the gap." In a workshop we mapped the market with three other companies in the programme. At a mentor session, six people from banks and payment companies told us how institutions put digital assets into production, and why many have not yet.

For the showcase I made three explainer images on 13 and 14 August with Claude and Higgsfield. One shows a stablecoin payment in seven steps, from a buyer abroad to kroner in the account the same day.

I built the deck for the showcase. It opens with the request a bank has to turn down: "Within the next year, a business client will ask you to receive a payment in stablecoins. Today you have to say no." Then come two use cases and a live demo in banks' test systems with test money. The deck asks for four weeks in the bank's own test system, at a fixed fee.

Before the showcase I found out who was coming, and afterwards I followed up with them.

The work on our offer to banks went on after the showcase, into our stand at the fintech conference Nordic Fintech Week in September. By 31 August the wall images said "Three ways in. One layer." Each of our three products for banks got one line.
