The case

Why Breakpoint. Why London.

The Week

Solana Breakpoint

The one week the entire Solana ecosystem, from founders and funds to exchanges and institutions, is in one city. We build the private deal room inside it.

Nov 14 & 15 · London

The City

London capital

Europe's financial centre, with banks, asset managers and family offices next door. The room where crypto meets institutional money, on their doorstep.

Institutional density

The Thesis

Payments & Institutions

Stablecoins, payment rails and RWAs are where the capital is flowing in 2026. Our Demo Day is curated around exactly that pipeline.

Where the money moves
