Payments & Allocators NYC
An invite-only industry day for the people moving money and the people funding the rails underneath it.
Location: XDC NYC — 15th Floor, West Chelsea (Hudson River views, walking distance from most Tech Week & ETHConf venues – address shared upon approval)
Why Attend
You should be in the room if you want to:
Close business — meet the banks, fintechs, PSPs, and enterprises actively moving cross-border volume on XDC, and the partners they're integrating with.
Raise or deploy capital — allocators meet founders and network operators across payments, RWAs, trade finance, and masternode infrastructure.
See what's live — real production demos from payment partners running real money.
Get direct access — to the XDC core team, ecosystem founders, and senior decision-makers from partner institutions.
If you're choosing between five things during Tech Week, this is the one focused specifically on institutional money movement and the capital behind it.

About XDC Network
XDC Network is an enterprise-grade, ISO 20022-compliant, EVM compatible hybrid blockchain purpose-built for global trade, payments, and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. It combines the openness of a public chain with the privacy and compliance controls institutions require — making it one of the few networks today actually used by banks, fintechs, and trade finance platforms moving real volume and value.
Key facts attendees should know:
ISO 20022-compliant — natively interoperable with SWIFT, RTGS, and the messaging standards banks already run on.
Hybrid architecture — public for transparency, permissioned layers for institutional compliance.
Delegated Proof-of-Stake — fast finality, low fees, energy-efficient, EVM-compatible.
Secured by Masternodes — institutional-grade validators stake XDC to run a masternode, validate transactions, and earn yield.
First blockchain admitted to the global Trade Finance Distribution Initiative (TFDi) — a $15T industry now moving onto XDC rails.
XDC is the institutional payments and RWA layer where TradFi and on-chain meet.
