Geneva, Switzerland, December 15, 2025 — TRON DAO, the community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps), participated in Abu Dhabi Finance Week (ADFW) 2025, held from December 8-11 at The Grand Steps on Al Maryah Island in Abu Dhabi. As the largest and leading financial event in the region, ADFW 2025 brought together the world’s top financial minds to redefine and shape the future of global markets. 

Adrian Wall, Senior Director of U.S. Policy at TRON DAO and Managing Director of the Digital Sovereignty Alliance, participated in the ADCB Stage panel titled “Have We Finished Building the Bridge?”. The session explored whether blockchain technology has effectively integrated with traditional financial systems or whether critical regulatory and infrastructure gaps remain. 

“By 2026, regulated stablecoins will increasingly function as a standard settlement tool for banks, fintechs, and enterprises rather than as an experimental technology,” said Wall. “The most successful blockchain infrastructure will be largely invisible to end users, delivering value without requiring technical understanding. While meaningful progress has been made at the value and settlement layer, further work is needed around standards, interoperability, and consumer protection. The bridge between traditional finance and decentralized systems will be complete when institutions can participate with confidence and the user experience seamlessly fades into the background.”

Wall was joined by Demetrios Skalkotos, Chief DeFi and Protocols Officer at Blockdaemon, and Omer Husain, General Manager at Bitcoin DeFi, with moderation by Nilixa Devlukia, Senior Advisor at Global Counsel. Together, the panel examined the state of blockchain adoption through the lenses of regulatory evolution, institutional readiness, and market liquidity.

TRON DAO’s participation at Abu Dhabi Finance Week reinforced its commitment to constructive engagement with global financial leaders and policymakers, supporting the responsible adoption of blockchain technology.

As part of this broader effort, TRON supports the Digital Sovereignty Alliance (DSA), a nonprofit organization backed by a coalition of leaders from the blockchain and digital asset industry dedicated to advancing clear and ethical public policy, research, and education surrounding emerging technologies, including blockchain, cryptocurrency, Web3, and artificial intelligence. DSA was established to foster substantive, bipartisan dialogue and to support policies that help ensure emerging technologies deliver broad societal benefit. As advancements in areas such as blockchain and artificial intelligence continue to accelerate, thoughtful public policy is essential to address associated ethical, economic, and societal considerations. DSA is committed to convening experts, policymakers, and the broader public to advance informed, forward-looking regulatory approaches.

Through continued collaboration and open dialogue, TRON DAO is helping shape a future in which digital financial infrastructure is secure, inclusive, and built to expand access and enable meaningful innovation at a global scale.
