Proof of Talk 2026: Institutions Flood Paris for Tokenization, AI, and Stablecoin Deals
Paris just hosted the Proof of Talk summit, packing 2,500 execs for major institutional plays. Think tokenized assets, AI integration, and stablecoin strategy – the big money is making moves.
Proof of Talk 2026 just wrapped in Paris, and the Palais du Louvre was ground zero for institutional crypto. We're talking 2,500 top dogs from finance, AI, and regulation hashing out deals and dropping research. This wasn't some small-time meetup; it was a global news desk for digital assets for 48 hours straight.
Franklin Templeton and MoonPay are linking up to push tokenized products, and Citi dropped a report pegging the tokenized investment market at $17 billion. Euroclear is on track to tokenize Europe's €300 billion commercial paper market by Q4. Zodia Custody is selling to a traditional finance player, signaling a custody shift. Ampersand is rolling out real-time compliance screening with TRM Labs. These aren't whispers; they're concrete moves.
The event also spotlighted decentralized AI via Bittensor and tackled stablecoin liquidity with heavyweights like Blackrock and the Bank of England in the room. The message is clear: TradFi is diving headfirst into the on-chain world, and the infrastructure is being built now.
