Ethereum France's President: Jerome de Tychey will kick off EthCC[9] with his annual opening keynote.

New technologies are driving production costs toward zero, but scaling these industries requires enormous capital and new financial architecture -- something traditional finance struggles to provide. Onchain finance offers a different model: global liquidity, programmable lending markets, transparent risk, and collateral backed by real-world production. In this talk, Stani explores how the next financial system will not just trade assets; it will fund the infrastructure of the future.

Western devs build engines, but Asia holds the fuel. Nenter reveals why the 2026 Supercycle hinges on bridging Western protocols with Eastern liquidity - showing how “productive capital” decides which projects survive

DeFi’s next growth wave needs better “yield rails” not more protocols. This talk explores how infrastructure turns DeFi yield into programmable, scalable strategies for wallets, custodians, fintechs, and institutions.

RWAs are shifting from static tokenized assets to primitives of DeFi. Using onchain data from Dune, we explore how RWA protocols are integrating with lending, yield, and liquidity layers across chains.

As DeFi scales and becomes more integrated with real world assets, how do we think about risk exposures, trust assumptions and contagion vectors?

Tokenization has been promised for years. This talk explains why it’s finally working now, how DeFi values can coexist with institutional adoption, and what actually creates utility, liquidity, and new onchain capital for real-world assets.

Treating regulation as a foundational layer enables compliant institutional adoption, investor protection, and sustainable growth across global digital asset markets.

DeFi is entering a smarter, safer phase driven by interoperability, AI automation, and institutional-grade frameworks. This talk explores how unified liquidity, automated risk systems, and scalable token economics will define the next decade of DeFi.

Stablecoins are becoming the backbone of global finance. In a 24/7 onchain world, liquidity is king. New Money is Smart Money:programmable, always active. Fluid unlocks what didn’t exist before: infrastructure that puts idle capital to work, for real

DeFi’s 99% USD-dependency is a systemic risk. Safe and SG-FORGE discuss how Euro-native infrastructure (EuroCV) builds ecosystem resilience, prevents single-issuer capture, and secures European digital financial sovereignty - while solving a big pain

DeFi’s reliance on USD poses systemic risk as global politics shift. Gísli shares lessons from building a euro stablecoin, focusing on distribution, liquidity, yield, and how wallets, solvers, neobanks, and issuers make the euro viable in DeFi.

The infrastructure for tokenized equities is here. Led by Val Gui, GM of xStocks, this talk challenges Ethereum builders to move beyond standalone finance apps and start building programmable, onchain capital markets using xStocks as a framework.
