Staking Summit is Evolving into Something Much Bigger. Introducing the Digital Asset Yield Summit (DAYS).

Staking Has Evolved — And We're Evolving With It

When we launched our first Staking Summit nearly five years ago, the staking industry was a niche corner of crypto. Dedicated staking providers were a new category. The industry required alignment, education, and development. The ecosystem needed a gathering point, and together, we built one.

Today, Staking Summit becomes the Digital Asset Yield Summit — where institutional allocators discover what's next in on-chain yield.

Why We're Going All-In on Curated Allocator Forums

Crypto is no longer a standalone industry. It's becoming infrastructure — a component layer that hardens products and services across traditional finance. Staking, specifically, is being absorbed into vertically integrated financial services companies. The technology is more important than ever, but the opportunity around it has grown far beyond staking alone. 

The biggest shift we're seeing? Institutional capital is already on-chain. ETFs and DATs have opened the floodgates. Tokenized assets are on track to become a $16 trillion market by 2030. And the allocators making these decisions aren't attending Ethereum developer conferences — they're located in the global financial hub of the world.

As Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, put it: "We can provide more access for every investor to earn yield on-chain." And Jenny Johnson, CEO of Franklin Templeton, echoed this conviction: "This underlying technology is so powerful which ultimately increases the yield we can pass back to the investor."

When BlackRock and Franklin Templeton are building on-chain, the reputational risk has inverted. The question is no longer "if" institutions will allocate — it's who moves first.

Our events need to meet them where they are.

What's Changing

Staking Summit becomes the Digital Asset Yield Summit (DAYS).

Staking is now a sub-segment of a much larger on-chain yield opportunity. The conversations our partners and allocators want to have aren't about staking in isolation — they're about the full spectrum of on-chain yield: staking, RWA yield, DeFi structured products, vaults, tokenized fixed income, and everything in between. That's the language institutional allocators speak, and that's what the Digital Asset Yield Summit will deliver.

From large conferences to premium, curated forums.

Capital allocators are telling us what they actually want: intimate, high-signal environments where they can learn from practitioners, evaluate opportunities, and build real relationships.

Our new format is built for exactly this: small, curated forums of 100–200 capital allocators, paired with the protocols, infrastructure providers, and asset managers building the on-chain yield ecosystem.

Strategic locations in global financial centers.

We've seen 600% more allocator uptake for events hosted in major financial centers. The institutional appetite is real — and it's concentrated in the world's financial capitals.

We're now hosting our upcoming events in the cities where capital allocation decisions are made, timed around major digital-asset-adjacent conferences that already attract the traditional finance audience we serve:

• Miami — May 4, 2026
• New York — June 11, 2026
• Singapore — October 5–6, 2026
• Abu Dhabi — December 2026
• Zurich — January 2027

Pricing and Complimentary VIP Allocator Passes.

To reflect the premium, curated nature of these forums, attendance is priced between $499 and $999. Get Tickets for Miami. Pricing ensures every participant in the room is serious about on-chain yield and committed to the conversation. Capital allocators attend free. If you're working with a traditional financial organization or deploying capital into digital assets, we want you in the room — no barriers. Apply here

Why This Matters

Since shifting our focus from retail to institutional several years ago, we've had the privilege of working with firms like Fidelity, Coinbase, and dozens of other institutional players through our Verified Staking Provider program and data infrastructure. Our events are a natural extension of that mission: helping traditional financial institutions navigate on-chain yield opportunities with confidence.

Every forum will offer complimentary tickets for qualified capital allocators. We've built a strong network of allocators seeking on-chain yield opportunities, and we're actively partnering with the platforms, custodians, and research providers they already trust. Combined with Staking Rewards' own platform data and research, we're creating a natural funnel from education to attendance. The goal is simple: every seat in the room should represent real capital looking for on-chain yield exposure.

The Digital Asset Yield Summit is where that mission comes to life — not in keynotes to a crowd of thousands, but in rooms where every conversation moves capital closer to on-chain.

What's Next

If you're a capital allocator interested in attending, or a protocol or infrastructure provider interested in sponsoring, reach out to our team directly. Complimentary passes are available for qualified allocators at every event.

The institutions are coming. We're building the room where it happens.
