The Challenge

Digital assets are no longer a fringe topic. Regulators are issuing guidance, institutional clients are asking questions, and competitors are quietly building capability. Yet most financial services firms still lack a structured way to assess where they stand — and what to do next.

DARF was developed as part of a Cambridge Judge Business School capstone project (awarded Distinction, December 2025) and bridges the gap between academic rigour and practical implementation.

The 6 Dimensions of Digital Asset Readiness

🎯

Strategy & Leadership

Board-level vision, governance structures, and strategic alignment for digital asset initiatives.

Navigating evolving regulatory frameworks, licensing requirements, and compliance obligations.

🛡️
