An annual event traditionally aimed at giving cryptocurrency movers and shakers a chance to hash out industry problems (as well as relax) has opened wide its doors to the larger financial community.
In a post detailing the third annual Satoshi Roundtable, event organizer and Atlantic Financial CEO Bruce Fenton rattled off a list of attendees, including familiar names such as Blockstream CEO Adam Back, Shapeshift CEO Erik Voorhees and Bitcoin Core developers Peter Todd and Eric Lombrozo.
Also included are some members of the broader financial community, such as Fidelity Investments and the World Bank, both of which are returning for their second year.
In the article published to Fenton's LinkedIn followers, he explained that the list of invited attendees was curated to increase the potential insights achieved between events.
Fenton wrote:
"At The Satoshi Roundtable, we design the entire event to foster and facilitate this type of deep, meaningful discussion among peers whether it's the whole room, a dozen people, or a breakaway with three people who share a very specific common interest."
The gathering slated for a discrete location in Mexico later this month also includes Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne, the president of t0, Jonathan Johnson and Bitcoin.com CEO Roger Ver.
According to Fenton's post, event participants include developers, executives and other "influencers" working to develop products on a number of blockchain technologies, including bitcoin, ethereum, Hyperledger and more.
In 2015, the Roundtable was hosted in the in the Dominican Republic, followed by an event in the Port St Lucie Florida last year.
'Unconference' approach
The event has become a venue where leaders building a wide-range of applications on blockchain gather to discuss obstacles facing the industry.
Last year, conversation was largely dominated by questions surrounding the bitcoin scaling debate, according to multiple reports.
This year, the two-day long event will consist of roundtable sessions, coffee meetings cocktail parties and time for breakaway discussions.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
需要了解的:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

Silver perps have more volume on Hyperliquid than SOL or XRP.
需要了解的:
- Silver futures on the Hyperliquid crypto derivatives exchange have surged to become one of its most active markets, ranking just behind bitcoin and ether in trading volume.
- The SILVER-USDC contract’s high volume, sizable open interest and slightly negative funding suggest traders are using crypto infrastructure for volatility and hedging in macro commodities rather than for directional crypto bets.
- Bitcoin is holding near $88,000 in a "defensive equilibrium" with cooling ETF inflows, uneven derivatives positioning and rising demand for downside protection, while ether lags and capital rotates toward hard assets like gold and silver.
