CryptoMondays Wall Street x ETHConf NYC, presented by 1inch and Troutman Pepper Locke, opened Ethereum Conference Week in New York City with a private, invitation-only gathering. The event brought together founders, investors, operators, attorneys, builders, and market leaders for substantive conversations around real world assets, institutional infrastructure, regulatory clarity, capital formation, and the practical next chapter of Web3 adoption.
Presenting sponsor 1inch announced reDeFine Money, a limited-edition oral history of decentralized finance. A free digital edition is available on the 1inch website, with physical copies available only at select 1inch events.
American Crypto Academy founder Jahon Jamali stressed in his keynote that education is essential to scaling institutional adoption of tokenized real-world assets. He positioned ACA as a central resource for professional and institutional markets, offering professional-grade crypto and blockchain education for CPAs, financial advisors, attorneys, and investment professionals. ACA’s curriculum bridges the knowledge gap between digital asset markets and the professionals navigating them, providing continuing education content built for the compliance, tax, accounting, and investment communities.
The gathering highlighted the importance of regulatory clarity and capital formation in advancing Web3 adoption. With institutional interest in digital assets growing, events like CryptoMondays Wall Street serve as a platform for high-signal conversation among founders, investors, operators, and policymakers shaping the institutional future of crypto. The Wall Street edition is part of the global CryptoMondays network, which includes over 70 chapters across 14 countries and more than 150,000 community members.
Sponsors included Troutman Pepper Locke, a premier U.S.-based law firm with over 1,600 attorneys across 30+ offices nationwide, specializing in financial services with a dedicated focus on digital assets and blockchain development. Valmar Capital, a leading multistrategy investment firm, and NFT VIP, a boutique event production and community activation company, also participated.
The event underscored the practical next steps for Web3 adoption, focusing on real-world assets and institutional infrastructure. As the crypto industry matures, education and regulatory clarity remain key drivers for mainstream acceptance. The announcement of reDeFine Money by 1inch further emphasizes the ongoing evolution of decentralized finance and its history.
