The event, organized by Fastex, featured over 70 industry leaders and executives, including presentations on U.S. regulatory expansion, blockchain infrastructure, and product innovations. It marked a strategic pivot for the company, extending beyond traditional exchange operations to showcase a comprehensive ecosystem of Web3 solutions [2].

The two-day gathering highlighted Fastex’s roadmap, including milestones achieved in the first half of 2025: FTN ecosystem updates, U.S. registration, a Bahamut blockchain merger, and the launch of its Affiliate Program and YoWallet. The event also unveiled key products such as , blockchain-backed physical collectibles produced in collaboration with Authentix, and an upgraded enabling real-time crypto spending with cold wallet security.

Fastex’s leadership team, including CEO Vakhtang Abrahamyan and CLO Vardan Khachatryan, emphasized the company’s focus on bridging traditional finance (tradfi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). The event showcased the full spectrum of Fastex’s ecosystem, including the Bahamut blockchain, YoWallet, and YoDoor Metaverse, alongside regulatory authorizations such as a VFA Category 4 license from Malta’s MFSA. These efforts underscore the firm’s commitment to compliance and user-centric innovation [5].

The conference blended professional programming with networking opportunities, featuring gala dinners, poker tournaments, and hands-on product demos. Media coverage from outlets like Bitcoin.com News and Cointelegraph highlighted the event’s significance as a strategic inflection point for Fastex [6].

The company plans to roll out FTN Notes through its YoCash platform and pre-order crypto cards via Fastex Exchange. By integrating regulatory compliance with user-focused solutions, Fastex aims to solidify its position as a full-stack Web3 enabler [8].
