The cryptocurrency market has officially entered its next chapter: mainstream adoption. In this session, Tony Edward, founder of Thinking Crypto Podcast, breaks down the incredible transformation of crypto from a speculative niche asset to a pillar of global finance. Over the past two years, we’ve seen landmark approvals of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, TradFi giants like BlackRock and Fidelity tokenize trillions in assets, and governments worldwide implement clear regulatory frameworks for digital assets. 
Tony will explore how institutional adoption is legitimizing crypto, why the growth of tokenized U.S. Treasuries and stablecoins is fueling dollar dominance, and how blockchain technology is quietly reshaping banking, payments, and capital markets. Attendees will gain a high-level understanding of how the maturing crypto industry offers both opportunities and risks, why regulatory clarity is accelerating innovation, and how these shifts will impact metals and traditional assets. If you want to understand where crypto fits into the future of global finance—and how investors can position themselves as blockchain technology rewrites the rules—this session is for you.
