The event is a journalist-led forum bringing together senior leaders from digital assets, finance, policy, and media to discuss market structure, programmable money, and future financial infrastructure, with no pay-to-speak arrangements.

Confirmed speakers include leaders from Franklin Templeton, Swift, Mastercard, JPMorgan, Invesco, MoonPay, Aave, Blockstream, Robinhood, Offchain Labs, Fundstrat, Haun Ventures, Dragonfly, Arrington Capital, and more, with additional names to be announced.

The event features over 120 speakers, about 95% at CEO or founder level, representing roughly $18 trillion in assets under management, with a hard cap of 2,500 attendees.
