Forex & Crypto

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.

From shady tokenomics to social-media hype cycles, Merlin will show you how the pros separate real innovation from market manipulation.

Join Robert A. Green, CPA, of GreenTraderTax for a fast-paced 30-minute update on crypto tax treatment following the GENIUS Act, the pending CLARITY Bill, and the IRS rollout of Form 1099-DA. Learn what’s changed—and what hasn’t. Despite new legislation and regulatory frameworks, the IRS continues to treat most digital assets as “property,” not securities or commodities. Robert will break down: Key takeaways from the GENIUS Act and CLARITY Bill, how the new Form 1099-DA impacts tax compliance starting in 2025, why crypto still isn't subject to wash sale or 475 MTM rules, when Bitcoin futures qualify for Section 1256 treatment, and the benefits of Trader Tax Status (TTS) for active crypto traders. This session is ideal for crypto investors, active traders, accountants, and tax professionals seeking to stay ahead of 2025 compliance requirements.

With the signing of the GENIUS Act on July 19, 2025, U.S. dollar-backed stablecoins are now legal. Will stablecoins be the death knell for money market funds, which saw outflows of $7.26 billion last week? Bitcoin is on fire, soaring to a high of $123,212 on July 13, 2025.
