🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Scotland’s Web3 Event 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Returning in 2026…stay tuned for more details.

[colinsmith.eth @ColinMacSmith]

Excited to be joining the Ambassador cohort for @proofoftalk 2026.

Proof of Talk brings together 2,500 senior decision-makers across Web3, capital allocators, and infrastructure builders at the Louvre Palace to help shape how digital assets integrate into global markets.

At its core, Web3 has always been about community, collaboration, and building together. That’s why I’m delighted that @BlockStartScot is a community partner and will be attending this year’s event.

Follow my feed to keep updated on event-related announcements, speakers, and ecosystem updates in the lead-up to the conference.

If you’re building the future of digital assets and financial markets, this is one of the rooms you’ll want to be in.

As an Ambassador, my community has access to exclusive pricing.

Use code ‘COLIN’ to secure your place.

June 2 & 3, 2026 | Louvre Palace, Paris

[BlockStart Scotland @BlockStartScot]

We've partnered with @proofoftalk 2026 and we're bringing 10 of our strongest members to the Louvre this June.

Proof of Talk has sold out two years in a row. They curate their audience like no other event, with 2,500 seats, no pay-to-speak, 85% decision-makers and dedicated dining experiences.

The kind of event where the person next to you is a CIO at Fidelity, a policy head at Mastercard, a founder at Aave, or a C-level executive at Franklin Templeton, SWIFT, Robinhood, Coinbase, DTCC, Bittensor and more.

We were given 10 seats to allocate and we're giving them to the builders, operators, and decision-makers in our community who deserve to be at this level.

If you're a founder, fund manager, protocol lead, or senior executive, this seat could be yours.

We'll review every application personally and nominate the ones who belong in that room.

Can’t wait to attend this fantastic event!

[Proof of Talk @proofoftalk]

If you think Web3 in the UK starts and ends in London, you haven't been paying attention to Glasgow. BlockStart @BlockStartScot joins Proof of Talk 2026 as a community partner.

BlockStart is Scotland’s largest Web3 & AI event, returning on 31 July. Tracks spanning DeFi, RWAs, AI, Bitcoin Treasury, and stablecoins. Speakers from @coinbase, @solana, @NEARFoundation, and dozens more.

Every strong industry needs strong regional roots. While most of the attention goes to London, Dubai, and Singapore, Glasgow has been growing a Web3 scene with real builders, real founders, and real momentum.

Welcome to the Louvre this June.

Secure your pass.

[Stand With Crypto In The UK🛡️🇬🇧 @StandWCrypto_UK]

Tomorrow, the House of Lords will hear oral evidence on the future of stablecoins in the UK, with @LucyRigby - @hmtreasury, David Geale and @Matthew Long - @TheFCA.

This is the final stage of gathering input before recommendations take shape.

What makes this different is that it hasn’t just been shaped by industry, but by people. Over 80,000+ signed our petition, helping bring real user voices into this process and contributing to the inquiry itself.

Thank you to the Lords for engaging directly with the public. And thank you to everyone who submitted evidence, shared experiences, and signed.

Now the question is simple:

Will the UK enable safe, competitive stablecoins, or risk falling behind?
This is about payments, innovation, and whether the UK remains a serious player in digital finance.

They said move on. The network's never been stronger.

Driving pro-innovation policy means giving founders like @andy_agant of @AgantFinance the clarity they need to keep building in the UK.

If the pound sterling wants to maintain its position as the 4th largest currency globally, we need GBP Stablecoins.

Our petition is about giving people like Andy the chance to realise their company’s potential right here at home↓
