Sales: “We’ve just closed a major deal!” Compliance: “Have the checks been completed?” Every growing company has had this conversation. That’s why we’re excited to partner with Aava Growth.

You get to hear this only once. And only once inside the Louvre. Adam Back @adam3us (Co-founder & CEO, @Blockstream & @bstrco) sits down with Jenny Johnson (CEO, @FTI_US), moderated by Eleanor Terrett @EleanorTerrett (Co-Founder & Host, @CryptoAmerica_). The topic: The Great Crossover: Asset Management for the Onchain Investor. The line between traditional finance and crypto-native markets is disappearing. Traditional financial products are being redeployed on crypto-native rails. Crypto-native investors are becoming a new customer base for institutional asset management. The question this fireside sets: What does the future portfolio look like when tokenised money market funds, stablecoins, Bitcoin, and other onchain assets are in the same wallet? Jenny & Adam will be challenged by Eleanor in defining what traditional finance still underestimate about the investors who want to hold, move, and manage capital onchain. Take a seat. tickets.proofoftalk.io/passe…

one of the most important crypto events of the year is happening in 10 days Jenny Johnson, Adam Back, Bittensor $TAO eco, Canton, 200+ investors and Proof of Pitch who will be there? 👀
1/ For a decade, Web3 and TradFi argued. In 2026, they're sitting at the same table. In 10 days, Jenny Johnson (CEO @FTDA_US, $1.5T AUM) and @adam3us (Co-Founder, @Blockstream , inventor of Hashcash) open Proof of Talk 2026 on the same stage. That fireside is the thesis of the entire event. @proofoftalk

After Saturday, the Founding Cohort of 1000 Minds is sealed. 62 seats still open. 1000 Minds That Matter is how we're assembling the 1,000 people who actually move the digital assets industry. They are capital allocators, protocol builders, policy architects, and infrastructure leaders, assessed on AUM influence, technical contribution, regulatory impact, and industry leadership. The names on the installation inside the Louvre Palace are permanent. 338 leaders have already confirmed. The caliber of the room speaks for itself. Every cohort that follows will join something that already exists. This one is writing the first page. 62 seats. Then the Founding Cohort is closed forever. If you know someone who belongs, nominate them before April 25. If that someone is you, apply. minds.proofoftalk.io/#apply

Last year, Proof of Talk generated 600+ media stories and 30M+ clicks, bringing together the operators, builders, and capital shaping the next phase of Web3 and digital markets. Your opportunity to be a part of the story has now arrived: applications for 2026 Ambassadors and Influential Voices are open. If you are an Ambassador, you are the connector. The one who brings the right people into the room and elevates the conversation. If you are an Influential Voice, you shape how the industry thinks. Your content doesn’t just reach audiences, it moves them. In return, you'll receive priority access to the event, visibility across our channels, direct introductions to our speaker lineup, and a role in shaping the most curated room in the industry. 95% of our speakers are active CEOs and founders. The bar is high because the room demands it. We're looking for the people who meet it. Applications for Ambassadors and Influential Voices are open. forms.gle/CHA2r8FquDZQdVgJA

You've listened to their podcasts on your commute. You've read their bylines at midnight. Now imagine being in the same room. (MUST READ) @btschiller served as Managing Editor at CoinDesk through the most defining years this industry has ever seen. @christinenews is a Pulitzer Prize winner from Bloomberg, Reuters, and ProPublica. @EleanorTerrett from Crypto in America doesn't just follow the story. She breaks it, especially when it matters in Washington. @fintechfrank now sits at GSR at the intersection of media and markets. Nobody understands both sides of the table like Frank. @DelRayMan spent years at Forbes putting the most powerful people in crypto on the record. If it mattered, Michael wrote it down. @pete_rizzo_ is the Bitcoin Historian. Nobody has documented this industry's origins and battles with more depth or integrity. Together they carry 15+ years of digital asset history. And then our Podcast PowerHouse heard by more than 42 Million globally. @amandacassatt from Endgame helped build it. One of the clearest strategic minds on where Web3 is actually going versus where people think it's going. @andyyy from @therollupco has been breaking down the most complex corners of Web3 into the trends that actually matter. @KevinWSHPod from When Shift Happens Podcast has made a career out of finding the moments right before everything changes. @marcb_xyz from 51 Insights cuts through the noise with the kind of precision that makes you reconsider everything you thought you knew about digital assets. @CryptoMichNL from New Era Finance needs no introduction. Millions trust his market read. Now you'll hear it live and unfiltered. 2 & 3 of June, Louvre Palace. Attend it in person or hear it from the news. bit.ly/3Pj1dEU

Excited to go back to Paris after many years and if you are attending do not worry, in person i don't look this scary 🤣
Testified before U.S. Congress. Named to @CoinDesk's 2025 Most Influential. Launched @BlackRock 's BUIDL fund on his platform. As Co-Founder & CEO of @Securitize , @carlosdomingo has spent 25+ years at the intersection of technology, capital markets, and regulation, leading one of the most established platforms for compliant digital securities. In 2024, he testified before the U.S. House Committee on Financial Services as the sole tokenization platform representative. Before his groundbreaking work with Securitize, Carlos held prominent roles as CEO of Research & Development at Telefonica, creating cutting-edge advancements and pioneering technology at companies such as Telefonica, one of the largest telecom companies in the world. Later, he would serve as CEO of New Business and Innovation, which led to an interest in spearheading blockchain adoption through the tokenization of traditional markets. Carlos takes the stage at Proof of Talk this June, carrying forth the conversation around tokenized finance and the future of financial markets.

Rain @raincards turns stablecoins into money you can actually spend. USDC sitting in a wallet doesn't pay for anything. @raincards built the infrastructure so it can. They're a @Visa Principal Member, one of the few crypto companies with that status. That means they issue cards that work at 100 million merchants in 150+ countries. Your users hold USDC. They spend it at a grocery store. @raincards handles everything in between. Their technology allows partners to move, store, and use stablecoins instantly and compliantly through global payment cards, on/off-ramps, wallets, and cross-border rails. @raincards joins us at Louvre Palace as Gold Partner to contribute to the conversations on stablecoin infrastructure and payment rails, because the people building this stack need to be in the room with the people deploying capital into it. The room where stablecoin infrastructure meets the institutions that need it to scale. June 2 & 3, 2026 | Louvre Palace, Paris

🔥Takeaways on being Founders: @RJ_Simmonds → The idea of ‘perfect’ is a myth. Know your limitations, keep questioning yourself and persevere. @Bearbunniepup → Founding is a journey of dedication. Throw yourself in 100% and run with it... it’s the only way to find your footing.
