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 bringing 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, and released a free digital edition 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 and positions ACA as a central resource for professional and institutional markets. The academy delivers professional-grade crypto and blockchain education for institutional audiences, including CPAs, financial advisors, attorneys, and investment professionals. ACA’s curriculum bridges the knowledge gap between digital asset markets and the professionals navigating them, offering continuing education content built for the compliance, tax, accounting, and investment communities.
The event highlighted the growing importance of regulatory clarity and institutional infrastructure for the next phase of Web3 adoption. With the involvement of firms like Troutman Pepper Locke, a premier U.S.-based law firm with more than 1,600 attorneys across 30+ offices nationwide, the gathering underscored the legal and regulatory frameworks necessary for mainstream adoption. The firm specializes in energy, financial services — including a dedicated focus on digital assets and blockchain development — health care, life sciences, insurance, private equity, and real estate.
