As 2025 comes to a close, we’re reflecting on a year that redefined what’s possible for on-chain finance.
2025 saw the digital asset industry hit new highs for market sentiment, enterprise adoption, and legislative favor. New conversations started to gather steam, especially around bringing institutions on-chain and stablecoin-powered B2B payments. Bitwave helped lead those conversations at major industry events, on stage at EDAS, and online with our partners on webinars. But that's not all! We also supercharged our platform to meet this moment head-on.
Below is a look back at what we achieved together this year.
Events & Bitwave Thought Leadership
2025 was a milestone year for bringing B2B payments onchain and for bringing enterprise finance and real-world blockchain operations to the forefront of the financial services industry. This year, Bitwave hosted several important industry events and provided key thought leadership in the space. Here is a round-up of a few of our most popular events of the year.
Onchain B2B Payments Day at ETH Denver
We kicked off the year by taking over ETHDenver, with a groundbreaking event co-hosted alongside Deloitte, NetSuite, Aleo, and PayPal. This full-day program showcased how on-chain payments, transparency, and automation are reshaping corporate finance and treasury operations.
Stablecoin Payments House at Consensus
Together with Aleo and Ripple, we advanced the dialogue around privacy, compliance, and scale in stablecoin payments.
Enterprise Digital Asset Summit (EDAS)
Our flagship summit returned bigger than ever, officially sold out during San Francisco Tech Week! EDAS 2025 featured our most expansive agenda and speaker lineup yet, hitting everything from stablecoin payments to agentic AI in back-office finance, and cementing EDAS as the must-attend enterprise blockchain event.
Money 20/20
Bitwave continued bridging TradFi and DeFi, appearing alongside leaders from Ripple, Blockdaemon, and Canton Network for two different events to drive the future of compliant financial infrastructure.
Webinar Series
This year’s education and enablement initiatives included several deep-dive webinar series.
- Bitwave + Arbitrum was our first Spanish-language webinar talking yield-bearing stablecoins, TGE tax considerations, and a limited edition CPE NFT
- Bitwave + Polymesh talked about tokenization for institutions and bringing private markets on-chain.
- Bitwave + AICPA focused on unpacking the work of the Attestation Subgroup to draw up the Stablecoin Reporting Criteria and Stablecoin Controls Exposure Draft
Case Studies & Customer Insights
We highlighted the transformative work of FV Bank, demonstrating how institutions can redefine client and tax reporting efficiency using Bitwave.
Another Year Making Waves EVERYWHERE
2025 took the Bitwave team across the world to connect with customers, regulators, partners, and innovators pushing enterprise blockchain forward.
We spent a lot of time in New York this year, hitting Digital Asset Summit NY, Permissionless, the WSBA Crypto & Blockchain Summit, and The Bridge.
But if you missed us there, you could find us…everywhere else. From Zurich for Point Zero Forum, Cannes for ETHCC, Rio for Stellar Meridian, Toronto for Consensus, and finally bringing it back to the states for SuiteWorld in Las Vegas, 2025 was another year of our unofficial slogan: Bitwave is everywhere.
Our founders and executives were featured across top global stages, continuing to lead the conversation around compliance, payments, and enterprise adoption.
