" summary

Day two runs with 2,000 attendees and 150 speakers in New York to intentionally bridge DeFi and TradFi; sessions focus on institutions adopting stablecoins and DeFi adoption, on protocol engineering roadmaps (what’s shipping in months vs years, specific infrastructure gaps), and on product-level fixes for UX, scalability, and regulatory friction. Talks commit to real stuff already shipped, and founders circulate on the floor so attendees can get direct, actionable answers and integrations.
