Web3 Finance Connect - Crypto is no longer the future of finance, it’s the present.

Web3 Finance Connect is a one-day summit designed to bridge the gap between traditional finance and decentralized finance, offering a clear path forward for banks, fintechs, service providers, and protocols to collaborate.

As institutions increasingly explore digital asset strategies, this summit brings together key players from both worlds to demonstrate that crypto is not just ready for TradFi, it’s built for it.
