Over the past several months, we’ve focused on one thing: showing what’s possible when blockchain technology is put to work. Today, we’re bringing that story together. Our new brand reflects a simple belief: the future of blockchain will be defined by businesses using the technology to move money, modernize infrastructure, and create entirely new products and experiences. You’ll also notice a renewed connection to the imagery that inspired our name. Because like an avalanche, transformational change builds slowly, gains momentum, and eventually becomes impossible to ignore. That’s the moment we believe this industry is entering. Avalanche.

Stablecoins reset expectations. Value moves globally in near real time, at low cost. Investors want assets and settlement to keep up. At Summit, Maxwell Stein of BlackRock will show how one of the world’s largest asset managers is adapting. Maxwell is Director, Digital Assets at BlackRock, where he helps drive the firm’s strategy across cryptoassets, stablecoins, and tokenized assets. His work spans product design, internal implementation, and emerging digital asset opportunities across one of the world’s largest asset managers. Come to Summit to hear how Maxwell connects the pieces: stablecoins for global value transfer, tokenized assets for market access, and settlement rails built for the way investors already expect digital markets to work. See you at Summit. Tickets: avalanchesummit.com Sept 16–17 | Chelsea Industrial, NYC

Blockchain’s next chapter will be measured in business outcomes. Real world solutions creating real institutional adoption. @MorganKrupetsky on why Avalanche has been preparing for this moment for years:

No more vaporware. Crypto needs more examples of real-world value coming onchain, from energy and compute, to physical infrastructure. At Summit, Meltem Demirors of Crucible Capital will show how those markets become programmable and tradable. Meltem Demirors is Founder and General Partner at Crucible, an investment firm focused on the intersection of energy, compute, and crypto. Before Crucible, she was Chief Strategy Officer at CoinShares, Europe’s largest and longest-standing digital asset investment firm, and was on the founding team at Digital Currency Group. Across more than a decade in crypto, Meltem has invested in 400+ companies and built a reputation for seeing where the industry is heading before the market catches up. Come to Summit to hear why the next phase of crypto may be more about making physical infrastructure programmable, tradable, and more resilient.
