The LONGITUDE Paris gathering at Paris Blockchain Week brought together a mix of traditional finance leaders and Web3 builders, showing how closely these two worlds are now converging.
Key names like Adam Back (Blockstream) and Franklin Templeton representatives highlighted the growing institutional seriousness around Bitcoin infrastructure and tokenized finance.
Executives from OKX, Ethereum Foundation, and Stellar Development Foundation reflected ongoing development in core blockchain ecosystems and payments rails.
Meanwhile, participation from firms like Mastercard and CertiK shows how security, compliance, and traditional payment networks are becoming central to Web3 scaling discussions.
Overall, the event signals a clear direction: crypto is moving deeper into regulated finance, infrastructure partnerships, and institutional adoption rather than isolated speculation cycles.
