This June in Paris, all eyes are on the Louvre. Proof of Talk 2026, widely recognized as the “Davos of Web3,” is drawing the attention of the global crypto and traditional finance industries. It has also become a critical launchpad for SFI, an infrastructure builder from the East, as it expands into the European market. Following its debut in Zug, Switzerland in late May, SFI has now set Paris as the second strategic hub of its European expansion. This time, SFI participates as a Silver Partner of Proof of Talk.
The industry is currently caught up in the fever over AI Agents and RWA assets, with narratives multiplying by the day. Yet one fundamental question has been largely overlooked: as AI agents become capable of autonomously holding and transacting assets, a compliant, low‑friction, and scalable payment rail remains absent. This is the single biggest bottleneck to Web4 adoption at scale. SFI founder Eddie Chong is offering a concrete solution.
Through this flagship summit, SFI kicks off its European rollout: on June 1, as a sponsor of the exclusive Institutional Soirée, it will engage in deep dialogue with leading European infrastructure players such as Bank Frick, Kite, Octant, and Crouton Digital; on June 2–3, as a Silver Partner, it will take its place at the Louvre main conference. Eddie Chong will deliver a keynote speech, fully articulating the Web4 closed‑loop ecosystem of “stablecoins as the axle, RWAs as the fuel, and AI as the engine.” This move marks SFI’s critical transition from “being seen” to “being recognized” among European institutional circles. It also directly addresses three major industry gaps: the lack of spending scenarios for stablecoins, insufficient liquidity for RWAs, and the absence of payment rails for AI Agents — propelling Web4 beyond hype into a standardized, replicable financial infrastructure for global institutions.
Rejecting Hype, Filling the Gaps: Eddie Chong’s Long‑Term Vision
SFI’s precise alignment with Web4 trends stems from its founder’s consistent philosophy: the long‑term value of crypto lies not with speculators chasing hot narratives, but with builders who strengthen core infrastructure and fill industry gaps.
Eddie Chong is a multi‑sector veteran spanning public chain development, crypto payments, RWA allocation, and AI quantitative trading. For more than a decade, he has never followed short‑term fads. In 2015, after identifying Bitcoin’s inability to support large‑scale commercial payments, he built his own high‑performance public chain, X Infinity, proving the commercial viability of crypto payment infrastructure. During the 2019–2020 bear market, he counter‑cyclically entered the RWA space, believing that blockchain must bridge on‑chain and real‑world assets. Today, his personal RWA portfolio exceeds $5 billion, with over 400 investments. In 2026, he co‑founded SFI, focusing on stablecoin financial infrastructure and targeting the core bottlenecks of Web4 adoption: compliant user on‑ramps, global liquidity, and an integrated lifecycle covering payment, consumption, value growth, and exit.
Powered by Solulu Club — with 200,000+ active users and deep liquidity — SFI has built five core modules: Solulu Pay (compliant crypto payment card and fiat on/off ramp in 100+ countries), Caviar (high‑end Web3 e‑commerce co‑branded with Lamborghini and Fendi), COPX DAO (AI quantitative trading with “trade‑to‑mine” mechanism), an RWA incubator (institutional‑grade asset tokenization services), and an RWA exchange (compliant secondary market trading). These five modules are tightly interlocked, covering the full asset lifecycle from on‑ramp to exit. The SFI platform, COPX DAO’s AI value‑added system, and Caviar’s real consumption scenarios work in deep synergy, using stablecoins as the medium to solve the three core problems of RWA: lack of cold‑start liquidity, few value‑added channels, and narrow exit routes. Together, they build a mature, deployable financial pipeline for the convergence of AI Agents and real‑world assets.
Looking ahead to the Paris conference, Eddie Chong says:
“For the past decade, we’ve been doing one thing — laying the lowest‑layer payment rails for Web4. Now those rails have reached the Louvre. At Proof of Talk, I’m not going to just talk vision; I’m going to show global institutions the closed loop SFI already has running: 200,000 real users, a stablecoin payment card, luxury e‑commerce, AI‑driven yield generation — none of this is conceptual. It’s ready to be integrated. Paris will be our starting point for moving from builder to connector.”
Dual‑Track Engagement: SFI’s Two Strategic Cards in Europe
Europe is not only the heartland of traditional finance, but also a market with the most mature crypto compliance, the densest concentration of institutional capital, and the highest acceptance of RWAs. SFI has chosen Proof of Talk 2026 as a springboard, using a dual‑track approach — “closed‑door penetration + public summit messaging” — to precisely target top European institutional circles. As a Silver Partner, SFI is not just an attendee but a co‑builder of the event.
June 1 | Institutional Soirée (Sponsor)
As the official high‑level prelude to the summit, this invitation‑only evening is open solely to VIP Black holders, Golf Retreat attendees, and global C‑level decision‑makers. SFI stands alongside four leading European native institutions — Bank Frick, Kite, Octant, and Crouton Digital — as a sponsor, signaling that the SFI Web4 value ecosystem from the East has earned recognition from mainstream European players. In this private setting, SFI will directly engage with European asset managers and infrastructure providers, presenting its stablecoin infrastructure thesis and paving the way for further local deployment.
June 2–3 | Proof of Talk 2026 Main Conference (Silver Partner)
The Louvre main venue is where SFI will showcase its Web4 capabilities to holders of $18 trillion in assets. This year’s conference features over 120 top‑tier speakers, 95% of whom are CEOs or founders, covering traditional finance (Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson, Swift CIO Tom Zschach, JPM Coin Global Head Emma Landriault), the crypto space (former CFTC Commissioner Caroline Pham, Aave founder Stani Kulechov, Bittensor co‑founders, Haun Ventures partner Diogo Mónica), and media authorities (Pulitzer Prize winners, former Bloomberg/Fox/CoinDesk editors‑in‑chief).
Eddie Chong will take the stage as a special invited speaker, systematically explaining SFI’s underlying architecture of “stablecoins as axle, RWAs as fuel, AI as engine.” He will demonstrate how a compliant stablecoin payment layer can break down on‑chain and off‑chain barriers, enabling autonomous settlement, automated payments, and intelligent hedging for RWA assets and AI Agents. By presenting live results — 200,000+ active users, Solulu Pay’s global payment network, Caviar’s luxury consumption scenarios, COPX DAO’s quant system — he will prove to global institutions that Web4 is no longer a concept, and that SFI’s closed‑loop ecosystem is the most mature, deployable model available.
Setting Sail from Paris: Web4 No Longer a Distant Narrative
By 2026, the convergence of stablecoins, RWAs, and AI is unstoppable. The industry’s competitive focus has shifted from superficial application innovation to a battle over the underlying infrastructure. Whoever controls the Web4 payment layer will hold the key to the future of connected value creation.
This June in Paris, the lights shine over both the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. At this premier gathering of $18 trillion in global assets, SFI will present itself as a Silver Partner, and as a pioneer, builder, and innovator, showcasing a Web4 closed‑loop ecosystem that is already live, replicable, and ready for adoption. Right now, the entire SFI team is in the final sprint — refining the keynote, coordinating resources for the closed‑door soirée, and perfecting every brand touchpoint at the Louvre. In Paris this June, SFI will make its voice heard loud and clear: not talking about trends, but delivering usable infrastructure.
What was once “the future” in industry conversations is now grounded in compliant soil, powered by stablecoin infrastructure, and ready to serve financial markets, empowering billions of users and intelligent agents. The era of SFI has begun — and the new Web4 epoch for the entire industry is now spreading from Paris to the world.
