• Trading & Institutional Liquidity
• Institutional Privacy
The speaker lineup features leaders from @AleoHQ, @base, @BitGo, @citrea_xyz, @coingecko, @FalconXGlobal, @flowdesk_co, @gvrn_ai, @0xMiden, @movement_xyz, @nansen_ai, @OndoFinance, @OseroHQ, @PythNetwork, @wormhole_labs, @GSR_io and more.

Most institutions can’t tell one privacy protocol from another, says @azeemk. What they actually want to know is whether working with you will get them fired.
The @0xMiden co-founder walks through Guardian, which adds account recovery, KYC whitelisting & live compliance checks.
Rate hikes are supposed to drain liquidity. Arthur Hayes says right now they're doing the opposite.
In his Finality Forum keynote, the @MaelstromFund CIO (@CryptoHayes) runs the numbers: every 25bp hike pays roughly $25B in extra income to banks and T-bill holders, and that money flows straight into financial assets. Add the ~$200B created by the Fed and US commercial banks since August: liquidity isn't drying up—it's expanding.
He also covers why Bitcoin is his smoke alarm for liquidity, why the Fed's flat balance sheet under Kevin Warsh is misleading, and why he's building @flop_labs - an AI-agent payment network with a token tied directly to compute.
His one tip for investors: structure your portfolio to outperform the debasement.

Ed (@AlasdGem), Head of Operations at @sunrise, on why every wallet, explorer and DEX has to recognize the same canonical token before anyone trades it.
Two weeks out from October 9th, and I finally have enough headspace to reflect on what we built at @FinalityForum.
A bit of backstory: when we first built @_ConvergenceAI, the thesis was that AI and institutional digital assets would naturally merge into agentic commerce. But as we got deeper, the reality became clear — these ecosystems didn’t naturally go together. Rather than dilute the signal, we spun out our entire institutional digital assets track into its own dedicated vehicle.
"Digital assets" is still widely misunderstood and frequently linked to speculative retail sentiment, viral market trends, and short-term volatility. So, we made a deliberate choice: spin off into a focused, dedicated platform.
Finality Forum.
On October 9th, we brought together the experts to highlight what actually matters: the underlying rails powering payments & stablecoins, tokenization & real world assets, institutional trading & liquidity.
Key speakers included @CryptoHayes, @avax (@jackyavalabs), @Base (@nibel_eth), @BitGo (Abel Seow), @Bloomberg (John Lagman), @CantonNetwork (@0xthomaschou), @chainlink (Niki Ariyasinghe), @coingecko (@bobbyong), @FalconXGlobal (@joshua_j_lim), @FireblocksHQ (Dan Sleep), @FlowTraders (Jaden Chan), @flowdesk_co (@ArthurTricoire), @FourPillarsFP (@Steve_4P), @GSR_io (@xinsong86), @0xMiden (@azeemk), @nansen_ai (@ASvanevik), @Ondo (Min Lin), @Paxos (Khairi Azmi), @PythNetwork (Abhi Bansal), Reap (Kevin Kang), @Ripple (Ross Edwards), @stripe (Tang Wei), @Tangem (Stanislav Bublik), @tether (@EddyCNg), @virtuals_io (@pandora_preneur), @Visa (Nischint Sanghavi), @wintermute_t (@YoannTurpin1), @wormhole / @sunrise (Ed Zuo), @xStocksFi (@valgui), @zama (@analog_kyle).
Out of 2,000+ registrations, we capped the room at 400 participants - just the sharpest institutional minds in one room.
What’s next:
• Finality Forum Edition 2 heads to Hong Kong this February. If you want to partner, sponsor, or collaborate, drop me a note.
• We’re hiring an Events Lead (Singapore-based) to run our footprint across SG, HK, and KR. Feel free to reach out directly if you or someone in your network fits.
Huge thanks to every speaker, partner, and attendee who made this inaugural edition happen. See you in Hong Kong! 🇭🇰

“Most of the blockchains were not built for institutions.”
Jacky Kong (@jackyavalabs), Head of Hong Kong at @avax, says institutions want control, privacy and geofencing while staying connected to public chains, and explains why he thinks Avalanche L1s can do both.
In an internal study, Pyth’s prices for major US equities sat within the NBBO 98% of the time.
Abhi Bansal, Global Head of Business Development at @PythNetwork, explains why no single firm can move a Pyth price feed on its own.
Looking back at a fantastic week at @token2049 Singapore! Our colleagues joined fellow industry leaders and Web3 builders to discuss what comes next for digital assets. Hein Tibosch spoke at @TokenizeThisNYC on scaling real-world assets to institutional needs, while Jaden Chan joined @FinalityForum to discuss institutional adoption and tokenized assets.
Great to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new ones.
See you next year, Singapore 🇸🇬
Finally coming up for air after two back-to-back weeks of events at @kbwofficial (Korea Blockchain Week) and @token2049 Singapore.
So much alpha. So many suits on the ground. TradFi is truly here.
Honestly, it's been overwhelming and exciting in equal measure. Still processing everything we've managed to pull off over the last two weeks.
From events with @arbitrum, @hibachi_xyz, @fasset, @citrea_xyz, @FourPillarsFP, and @fluentxyz to an F1 Singapore Grand Prix party, it's been an incredible run.
But the biggest milestone was organizing @FinalityForum, our first independent conference.
We set out to bring the right people across institutional digital assets into one room.
Seeing that come together, and more importantly, the quality of conversations that happened in that room, has been one of the most rewarding experiences of this entire journey.
There's so much I want to share about what went into making all of this happen, the people we met, and the conversations that stayed with me.
I'm still waiting for all the photos and videos to come in, but got a little too impatient to wait before writing this. 😅
A lot more coming soon.
And a massive thank you to everyone who helped bring these events to life.
After @FinalityForum aimed at bringing institutions on-chain, it's clear:
TradFi has moved in, and the talk is finally about what crypto solves for people – payments, ownership, and security... which is exactly what we're building at Tangem ❤️🔥
Adoption is now.
We're ready.
