Ctrl/Shift Summit 2026 To Feature Quantum Security Sessions In Naples

What Happened

Among the recently announced panels is a discussion on ETF, ETP, and institutional access to digital assets featuring Luisa Fischietti, Fabio Massellani, and Marcello Coppo. Another panel will explore tokenization and new institutional channels with speakers including Chiara El Rikabi of 21Shares, Damiano Bonazzi of Diaman Partners, and Antonio Annino, coordinator of the technical working group of the Italian Parliamentary Intergroup on Digital Assets, Blockchain, and Bitcoin.

Market Context

The wider ctrl/shift Summit 2026 program will also examine institutional access to digital assets, tokenization, ETF and ETP markets, AI-driven financial systems, self-custody, regulation, and emerging applications across industries.

Why It Matters

ctrl/shift Summit 2026 will bring together leaders from AI, Web3, quantum computing, finance, and policy at Villa Doria d’Angri in Naples from June 13–15, 2026, with a dedicated program of sessions examining quantum security risks for blockchain networks and digital asset infrastructure.

One of the key speakers is Sohil Tiwari, CEO and Co-Founder of Quantum Qustody. Before entering the quantum security field, Tiwari spent nearly two decades in senior roles at Mastercard and American Express, including as Asia-Pacific CFO and Canada CFO at Mastercard. His session, Security in a Post-Quantum World, will explore the implications for digital asset holders, custodians, financial institutions.

The post-quantum security debate has become more immediate in 2026. The European Commission’s roadmap calls for EU member states to begin transitioning to post-quantum cryptography by the end of the year.

In March, Google Quantum AI published updated estimates suggesting that future attacks on elliptic-curve cryptography could require fewer resources than previously thought, adding further weight to the case for early planning.

Details

Wolfgang Amadeus Vitale, PhD, Crypto Protocol Expert at Bitcoin Suisse, will present the The Road to Post-Quantum Bitcoin session. It will look at the current state of the Bitcoin protocol and the path toward greater resistance to future quantum attacks.

Fabrizio Romano Genovese, who holds a PhD in Quantum Information Theory from the University of Oxford, will present “(Almost?) Practical Public-Key Quantum Money With Low Quantum Resources,” examining the technical requirements and remaining bottlenecks for quantum money systems.

“Quantum security is a good example of why ctrl/shift was created,” says Andrea Paesano, Event Lead at ctrl/shift. “The questions are technical, financial, and institutional at the same time. They cannot be addressed by one community working in isolation. Bringing researchers, builders, and decision-makers into the same room allows the conversation to become more practical.”

The full agenda, ticket information, and event updates are available through the ctrl/shift Summit 2026 official website.
