Boston DAO Converge: Crypto, AI & the Future of Agentic Finance
Converge is one afternoon built to do a single thing: get every corner of crypto into the same place and pointed at the same questions. This year those questions are policy, stablecoins, and AI, and none of them belong to any one chain.
Every corner of crypto converges in one place. Builders beside investors. Startups beside institutions. Students beside growing companies. Researchers beside operators. Two stages, one location, and a room built so the conversations that usually happen in separate buildings happen in the same one.
This is what ETHBoston and Solana Boston become in 2026. Same organizers, same standard, no longer split by ecosystem.
Three questions worth an afternoon
Stablecoins. The most boring and most consequential thing in crypto. Payment rails, treasury operations, bank integration, and what actually changes when dollars settle instantly and globally by default. Boston has a real claim on this one.
AI. Agents are starting to hold keys, move value, and make decisions without a human in the loop. Agentic finance is the part of the AI story that runs on crypto rails, and it is arriving well ahead of the frameworks built for it.
Policy. Market structure legislation is moving and the midterms are months away. The rules being written right now decide what everyone else in the room is allowed to build. We are putting candidates, officeholders, counsel, and advocates into sessions with the founders they regulate.
Additional programming spans DeFi, security, infrastructure, and market structure.
Why Boston
Boston is where crypto meets institutional capital. Fidelity, Circle, Coinbase, Castle Island Ventures, and Accomplice all operate here, and MIT, Harvard, BU, and Northeastern feed a steady pipeline of founders and engineers into the ecosystem. Very few cities have both. Converge is the room where the two sides actually meet.
Converge is part of Boston Fintech Week, which puts this audience in front of the city's traditional finance and fintech crowd, and puts that crowd in front of you.
The venue
