Chainwire, Paris, France, March 18, 2026
In an age of fragmented information, Proof of Talk returns to the Musée des Arts Décoratifs at the Louvre on June 2 and 3, serving as the final court of record for the digital asset industry. Increasingly seen as a place for investors, asset managers, digital asset institutions and policymakers to set future trajectories, Proof of Talk expands Davos’ vision. Defying the standard conference format, Proof of Talk will bring together a room of 2,500 decision-makers from the world’s most influential leaders to announce breaking news, sign term sheets and dictate the market trajectory for 2026-2027.
Content Committee: 15+ years at the forefront of digital assets
The 2026 Agenda was designed by the Content Council, a group of editorial architects specializing in digital assets for over 15 years at Bloomberg, Fox Business, CoinDesk and Forbes. Their comprehensive record spans every major market cycle, regulatory inflection point, and institutional innovation the industry has created.
The committee’s mission is to shape the agenda for Proof of Talk 2026, turning it into a forum for serious, practical and impactful dialogue. Led by Ben Schiller, Christine Lee, Eleanor Terrett, Frank Chaparro, Jacquelyn Melinek, Lisa Cameron, Michael del Castillo, and Pete Rizzo. Here are eight of the most informed journalists in the field.
Podcast powerhouse: the leading source of global announcements
Proof of Talk introduces Podcast Powerhouse, the world’s first preeminent media engine designed to capture and amplify speaking engagements. Featuring some of the industry’s most trusted voices: Andy C (The Rollup), Amanda Cassatt (Endgame), Kevin Follonier (When Shift Happens), Marc Baumann (FiftyOne) and Michaël van de Poppe (New Era Finance), the collective will serve as a primary source of global market announcements.
95% C-level standards: Franklin Templeton, SWIFT, JP Morgan, etc.
In a room representing over $18 trillion in AUM, the 2026 list includes founders, C-suite executives and builders of the new financial order, gathered at the table to provide evidence of their vision.
Confirmed speakers include:
Jenny Johnson, CEO of Franklin Templeton; Tom Zschach, CIO of SWIFT; Carlos Domingo of Securitize; Diogo Mónica of Anchorage Digital, the first regulated cryptocurrency bank in the United States and a portfolio company of Haun Ventures; Emma Landriault, who leads the JPM Coin global initiative at JP Morgan; Stani Kulechov of Aave with $26 billion in TVL; Caroline Pham, former CFTC chair; Arnaud Caudoux of Bpifrance, France’s €80 billion sovereign wealth fund; Julian Sawyer, CEO of Zodia Custody (founded by Northern Trust and Standard Chartered) and co-founder of Temple Digital; Tom Lee of Fundstrat/Bitmine; Rob Hadick of Dragonfly — among dozens of other elite speakers.
The agenda is structured around five topics: Financial Tokenization (Stablecoin, RWA, and DeFi), Digital Asset Investing, Bitcoin, Privacy, and Decentralized AI, and the Bittensor track.
Court of Record for Maturity Asset Classes
2026 represents a structural inflection point for digital assets as capital consolidates, regulatory frameworks strengthen, and infrastructure reaches institutional level.
By convening global allocators, system-level builders, and journalists who record market truth in real time, Proof of Talk builds a disciplined forum for price discovery of ideas, imperatives, and long-term beliefs.
In a market defined by cycles, Proof of Talk 2026 aims to define the next market.
