Crypto & Banking Breakfast
From Digital Assets to Autonomous Infrastructure
20 October 2026 | 08:00–11:00 | Prague
By invitation only | Working language: English
Following our Crypto & Banking Day during Fintech Week CEE 2026, KB SmartSolutions and ENVIROS invite you to a more intimate breakfast exploring where crypto and blockchain may become part of real-world infrastructure.
This time, we are moving beyond the broader debate around stablecoins, DeFi and tokenization.
Instead, we will focus on two emerging intersections of AI and blockchain, payments and energy:
🤖 Agentic Payments & Blockchain
As AI agents become capable of making autonomous decisions and transactions, how should they actually move money? Do they need blockchain and stablecoins or can existing banking and card infrastructure do the job better? What are the agentic payments use cases? How does it affect e-commerce businesses and their customers?
⚡ Energy & Blockchain
We’ll explore where blockchain can create real value in energy — from tokenization and automated settlement to peer-to-peer trading and digital identity — and what it takes to make these use cases work in a regulated market.
