Digital Assets Forum brings 700+ institutional leaders to New York on 13 November

New York, November 4, 2026 – Digital Assets Forum (DAF), the institutional digital assets event series from the team behind the European Blockchain Convention, will hold its first US edition on 13 November 2026 at Convene, 360 Madison Avenue, New York.

After three editions in London, DAF New York brings its closed-door, institutional-only format to the centre of US finance. The one-day forum will gather 700+ senior decision-makers and 100+ speakers across 40+ sessions on two stages, the Blockstream Stage and the FalconX Stage.

DAF New York is built for depth over breadth. Rather than an open-registration crowd, the room is curated: asset managers, banks, hedge funds, funds of funds, family offices, venture capital firms, market infrastructure providers and policymakers who are actively building, allocating and regulating in digital assets.

Speakers

Confirmed speakers include Jan van Eck (VanEck), Maxwell Stein (BlackRock), Mike Novogratz (Galaxy), Anthony Scaramucci (SkyBridge Capital), Adam Back (Blockstream), Michelle Neal (Fnality), Sebastian Pulido (Grayscale), Matthew Sigel (VanEck), John D’Agostino (Coinbase) and Eric Balchunas (Bloomberg Intelligence), alongside speakers from Morgan Stanley, State Street Investment Management, Charles Schwab, Wells Fargo, T. Rowe Price, DTCC, NYSE, the SEC, NYDFS and the IMF.

Programme

The agenda follows the full digital asset value chain and the questions institutions are working through today:

• How institutions are structuring digital asset exposure in their portfolios
• Tokenization of real-world assets, bonds, private credit and public equities
• The next wave of digital asset ETFs
• Stablecoins as institutional and enterprise payment infrastructure
• Tokenized collateral, margin and on-chain yield
• Regulation in the US, UK, EU and UAE, and how jurisdictions compete for capital
• Institutional-grade infrastructure, custody and market structure

Highlights include a fireside chat between Anthony Scaramucci and Mike Novogratz on where institutional capital is flowing, a fireside with Blockstream CEO Adam Back, and a conversation with the New York State Department of Financial Services.

Networking

Alongside the content, attendees can browse the attendee list and book one-to-one meetings in advance through the event’s networking app. The programme also includes lunch, an exhibition area and closing networking drinks. VIP and President pass holders get access to the Speaker Lounge and the VIP Night.
