TL;DR
This week on The Edge of Show, we explore how DeFi is maturing beyond yield chasing into risk-driven strategies powered by AI — while a new generation of builders is emerging at the intersection of storytelling, execution, and decentralized technology.
At the same time, institutions continue to move in fast — from Schwab entering crypto trading to Coinbase advancing regulatory trust and global firms acquiring crypto infrastructure.
On the ground at EthCC Cannes, one signal stood out: Less hype. More building.
From AI-driven ventures to real-world payments and infrastructure, the focus is shifting toward execution, efficiency, and long-term adoption

🇫🇷 EthCC Cannes-Recap

We just wrapped up EthCC[9] in Cannes
The energy was different this year.. more mature, more institutional, less hype. The big theme was TradFi meeting DeFi, with banks and asset managers actually in the room having real conversations.
The closing keynote pointed to AI and post-quantum cryptography as the next big intersections for blockchain. We were out there meeting builders, interviewing protocols on camera, and showing people what creative activations in this space can actually look like. Good conversations, good people, good Riviera weather.
Until next year!
