Crypto's next chapter is being written by institutions, not just startups. Stablecoins are settling real payment volume, tokenization is moving from pilot to production, and the regulatory picture is finally clear enough to build against. Where institutional adoption is real, what's getting funded now, and what founders and investors should be positioning for over the next cycle.

Beyond the hype cycle, something real is taking shape. How real businesses are implementing AI workflows, and what new asset classes and business models are emerging that could not have existed before. Three builders, three vantage points: Main Street efficiency, agentic finance, and compute as an institutional asset class.

10:45 a.m. - Hands-On AI Workshop: Keeping Your Data Local
Join Erich Dylus for a hands-on workshop on running AI without handing your data to the cloud.
As AI becomes part of everyday workflows, where your data lives matters more than ever. This session focuses on practical tools and setups that keep your information local to your own machine: private by default, under your control, and not feeding someone else's model.
You'll walk away with a working understanding of:
Why local-first AI matters for privacy, security, and ownership
The tools available today for running AI on your own hardware
Practical setups you can implement right after the workshop
Whether you're a builder, a professional handling sensitive information, or just AI-curious, this workshop gives you a concrete starting point for taking control of your data.
Workshop led by Erich Dylus, lawyer and builder of crypto-native AI tools including Camo Voice and Camo Text.
