The 25th Global Family Office Investment Summit brought together more than 250 influential figures at the Mandarin Oriental in Jumeirah Beach, Dubai, on May 6 and 7, 2025. Across two packed days, deliberations ranged from succession and real estate tokenization to how AI is already reshaping a myriad of investment strategies.
Among the most influential figures on-site was Enrico Rubboli, Founder of Mintlayer. Throughout the summit, he shared his perspective on how Bitcoin-linked architecture continues to evolve toward real-world financial relevance. His presence alone drew targeted interest from decision-makers focused on crypto-compliant financial instruments, significantly contributing to the broader narrative of how modern crypto -based assets can seamlessly integrate into traditional financial systems. Thanks to his expert team, Mintlayer is at the forefront of making this possible.
Mintlayer’s recent milestones—like launching the ZK Thunder Testnet with 1-second settlements and EVM support, plus passing 100M ML staked—were key talking points. But Enrico kept the spotlight on what’s next: bringing Real World Assets (RWAs), especially real estate, on-chain through blockchain innovation.
As the 25th Anniversary edition of GFOIS concluded, Rubboli sought to inspire leaders and encourage high-level collaboration to advance the industry as a whole. The summit provided an ideal platform to spark conversations around adoption, utility, and trust—topics that continue to define how wealth platforms interact with digital infrastructure on a global scale.
