From Wall Street to palm trees.
We brought a taste of the Caribbean to The Bridge this week. Next stop: Punta Cana.
Introducing The Enclave, Institutional Crypto's Private Caribbean Retreat.
250 senior executives. One private resort. March 1–4, 2027.
Apply to attend: enclave.thetie.io/
Getting impersonated on an app you don’t even use shouldn’t happen.
That’s why we built TIM, specifically for institutions in crypto. Work email sign-in and KYB-verified firms so you know exactly who's messaging you.
300+ institutions already use it: thetie.io/solutions/tim/home

1/ This week at The Bridge, we soft launched The Tie Instant Messenger (TIM): an enterprise messaging app for institutions in crypto.
300+ firms have already onboarded from hedge funds and VCs to OTC desks, exchanges, asset managers, custodians, and service providers.

Key takeaways from The Bridge yesterday:
1. If you’re in AI, pivot to crypto.
2. Tokenization and the convergence of Wall Street and onchain finance is only accelerating.
3. Agentic tokenized finance is the biggest narrative & scheming point for 2027.
4. Hearing rumors of massive bank deals being done with stablecoin issuers.
#2 is very, very similar to what CZ said to me on Monday…

Yesterday was easily the most institutional show we’ve ever done.
Total AUM in the room had to be over $100 trillion, and we easily spoke to $10T alone.
Truly insane how far this industry has come. Floodgates are fully open.
Be more bullish.

One of the best events I've been to. All genuine conversations with legit people and no one tried to sell me anything. Great work @Joshua_Frank_

Great conversation at @TheTieIO’s The Bridge today with leaders from BNY, Nasdaq, DTCC, and Galaxy.
Extending trading hours is the easy part, but cash, collateral, and settlement need to keep up.
That’s what we’re helping institutions build for on Avalanche.
Closing out the panel programming at The Bridge 2026.
The final conversations examine the disconnect between protocol adoption and token returns, whether AI makes competitive advantages harder to defend, and what institutions need to operate in markets that never close.
As AI Advances Can Blockchains and Protocols Build Moats
If AI makes code easier to replicate, can liquidity, network effects, proprietary data and distribution still create lasting advantages?

Stablecoin competition, decentralized networks, and the future of crypto venture capital are all on the agenda.
Is Crypto Venture Capital Still a Good Business?
With AI competing for capital, can token launches, M&A and institutional adoption still deliver compelling venture returns?

More afternoon highlights from The Bridge 2026.
From active fund performance to stablecoin business models and token valuation, investors are asking where sustainable returns can be found across digital assets.
It's 2026, Do We Know How to Value Tokens Yet?
Can cash flows, buybacks, network demand and supply dynamics help distinguish real value from an overpriced narrative?
