TradFi Meets DeFi: Building Bridges in Blockchain" (Panel with BTCS, OKX, Maple Finance)
Traditional finance and decentralized finance are no longer separate worlds. In this panel discussion, moderated by Ashton Addison (CEO, Crypto Coin Show), we bring together three leaders reshaping how institutions approach blockchain: Charles Allen (CEO, BTCS Inc.), Roshan Robert (CEO, OKX US), and Sidney Powell (CEO & Co-Founder, Maple Finance). We dive deep into how DeFi is solving problems in traditional credit markets, the role of real-world assets and stablecoins, and why institutional adoption is accelerating faster than ever. From Ethereum dividends to tokenized mortgages, discover how the bridge between TradFi and DeFi is being built right now.Topics covered: institutional DeFi adoption, credit markets on-chain, real-world asset tokenization, regulatory clarity, and what's next for blockchain infrastructure in 2026.
This panel was recorded live at the Blockchain Futurist Conference.
