Bitcoin Merges with Traditional Finance

From custody solutions and spot ETFs to Bitcoin Treasury Playbooks, Bitcoin-backed lending and integration into banking infrastructure, legacy institutions are entering the Bitcoin era. This session explores the latest developments at the intersection of Bitcoin and TradFi, what’s driving adoption, and how Bitcoin is reshaping financial services from the inside out—on its own terms.
