Stablecoins are no longer a concept waiting to be proven. They're becoming the infrastructure layer for how money moves, 24/7, across borders, in real time. The harder question isn't whether stablecoins work. It's what it actually takes to build on top of them inside a regulated, operational fintech or payments business. That's exactly what this fireside chat gets into. "The 24/7 Shift: Inside the Move to Stablecoin-Powered Payments" 📅 Wednesday, April 15 · 11:20 AM – 11:40 AM 🎤 Master Stage, powered by @BybitEU Ben Grout, VP of Sales and Partnerships, @zerohashx. In conversation with Marat Faritov, VP of Digital Finance, @moodysratings If real-time money movement is anywhere on your agenda for 2026, this is twenty minutes worth rearranging your schedule for.

@MilkRoad Citi's revision shows how volatile institutional sentiment can be, especially with ETFs and liquidity in the mix.

Ooof! Citi cut its $BTC and $ETH price targets. The world's third-largest bank lowered its 12-month forecast for Bitcoin to $112,000 (down from $143,000) and Ethereum to $3,175 (down from $4,304). That's a $31K haircut on $BTC and a $1,129 drop on $ETH - in one revision. The reason: U.S. crypto legislation has stalled and ETF inflows have softened. Here's the full picture: - $BTC base case: $112K (was $143K) - $ETH base case: $3,175 (was $4,304) - $BTC bull case: $165K - $ETH bull case: $4,488 - $BTC bear case: $58K - $ETH bear case: $1,198 Citi's bull case is still $165K for $BTC - that's 47% above the revised base target. But the base case revision is the real signal. When a bank of Citi's size moves its targets, it's usually because the macro story changed, not just the price action. The stall in U.S. crypto legislation is doing real damage. Markets priced in a wave of pro-crypto policy. That wave hasn't hit. So institutional forecasts are repricing accordingly. The bearish scenario - $BTC at $58K, $ETH at $1,198 - assumes a recessionary environment. That's not what they expect - but it tells you how wide the range of outcomes still is.

What does 2026 actually look like for digital asset markets, beyond the headlines? Macro liquidity is shifting. Institutional allocation frameworks are maturing. And emerging narratives like DePIN and AI infrastructure are competing for serious capital attention. The question isn't which themes are interesting. It's which ones have the structural foundations to last. That's the conversation opening the Master Stage on April 15. 📅 Wednesday, April 15 · 10:40 AM – 11:20 AM 📍 Master Stage, powered by @BybitEU 6 senior practitioners are bringing data-driven perspectives on the year ahead: → Sabina Liu: Managing Director at @euKuCoin → Martha Reyes: Senior Digital Assets Research Analyst at @Fidelity → @rajachak75: Chief Business Officer at @StellarOrg → Brett Reeves: Head of European Sales & GoNetwork at @BitGo → Salvador Yanez: Chief Product Officer at TransNetwork LLC → Moderated by @HenriArslanian : Co-Founder & Managing Partner at Nine Blocks Capital Management

@tokenterminal @circle @bgurley @jerallaire maybe you should come ask the @circle team directly. Sanja Kon, their Vice President, Partnerships & Business Development, EMEA will be speaking at PBW26

🏦🛎️ USDC market cap is up by ~30% during @circle's life as a public company. In 2010, @bgurley wrote about how CEOs should turn their IPO into a platform & use the new visibility to tell their industry's story on their own terms. @jerallaire might have read the blog...

@Hercules_Defi The RWA markets are definitely on the rise and it's fascinating to see how the retail vs. institutional divide plays out, especially when consumer products meet enterprise rails.

Join Dan and other global leaders in Paris: parisblockchainweek.com/tickets

Before Coinbase was Coinbase, before Kraken was Kraken, before Ripple had a ticker, @danheld was in the room. One of the original 2013 San Francisco digital assets meetup group is joining Paris Blockchain Week 2026. Few people can claim to have watched this industry grow from a handful of believers in a meetup room to a global financial force, and fewer still have been active builders throughout that entire journey. Dan is a GP at @goasymmetric , investing in Bitcoin DeFi, and a marketing advisor to Taproot Wizards, Starkware, and others. He is also one of Bitcoin's most followed educators, with over one million followers across social media. Paris Blockchain Week takes place on April 15–16, 2026, bringing together the leaders shaping the future of traditional finance and digital assets.
