Ethereum Zuri 2026

Cryptos existential crisis - and what to do about it
2026-04-10 –, Sihl (Y24-G-55)

EThis is a summit about the real world use cases of Ethereum, happening for the first time in July 2026 in Munich.


Crypto’s existentital crisis; and what to do about it.

Voices on Crypto Twitter (or is it CryptoX now?) are at an all-time low in sentiment. Corposlop is eating at any vestige of self-respect, alt-coins are at an all-time low, and any narrative that the next bull is around the corner seems ludicrous.

Yet, the tech is as solid and mature as ever, adoption is on an exponential upward curve and some projects are printing money like it’s a tabloid.

So: what’s the point of crypto? What’s Europe’s and more specifically the DACH regions role and contribution to that?

The talk gives the audience some pertinent insights, pointers and introduces a new format for discovery of real world crypto use cases and how to bridge the world of institutions to cypherpunk ideals in a mutually beneficial way.

From defensive accelerationism (d/acc), to digital product passports, decentralized ID, dePIN to deAI and stablecoins. We’re still early 😉
