Eventus Appoints Priya Ahlawat as Asia Ambassador

Eventus International has reached an exciting new stage in its Global Ambassador initiative, with strong momentum building as the search across Europe and Asia has progressed. Following the appointments of Margarita Cruz as Americas Ambassador and Geoffrey Muindi MCIM as Africa Ambassador, the team has spent the past months engaging closely with industry leaders to find the right voices to complete this global framework. That journey brought Eventus to the 7th Annual SPiCE South Asia, held from 23 – 26 March 2026 at Shangri-La Colombo, Sri Lanka. It was here, through meaningful conversations and real engagement with the region, that the next chapter naturally took shape.

From Search to Selection in Asia

As discussions unfolded, it became clear that Asia needed more than just representation. It needed someone who truly understands both the creative and commercial sides of the industry, and who can navigate the pace and complexity of this market with confidence. We are delighted to announce Priya Ahlawat as Eventus’ Asia Ambassador. Priya Ahlawat is the Founder of Jumping Play Studio and Managing Director at Epic88 India, bringing over 15 years of hands-on experience across gaming, leadership, and studio operations. She has built a studio from the ground up and led teams through the realities of fast-moving, high-growth environments. Her strength lies in balancing creativity with business performance, while building teams that are not only scalable but sustainable. And beyond the boardroom, Priya brings energy that is impossible to miss. Whether leading a team or stepping onto the dance floor, she is a force to be reckoned with, lighting up every room she walks into with a presence that reflects both confidence and authenticity.

Strengthening a Global Vision

The Global Ambassador initiative was created to support Eventus’ growth in key markets while bringing people together across the industry, from regulators and operators to suppliers, investors, and technology partners. As the gaming sector continues to evolve, Eventus International is focused on creating spaces for meaningful dialogue, backed by data, technology, and forward-thinking leadership. With the Americas, Africa, and now Asia represented, the network is becoming stronger, more connected, and better positioned to support collaboration across borders.

Leadership That Matters

Priya’s appointment reflects what this initiative is really about. It is not just about having regional voices, but about working with people who understand how markets grow and what it takes to build them responsibly. Her experience across both operations and creative delivery, along with her ability to build and lead strong teams, makes her a natural fit for this role.

Looking Ahead

With three ambassadors now in place, Eventus is close to completing its global lineup, with Europe to be announced next. The journey continues, and so does the ambition behind it.

The assembly continues.

Troves.fi Launches BTC YOLO Vault: A Smarter Way to Stack Bitcoin on Starknet

Built for the Saylors of the BTC economy, the YOLO Vault uses a value-averaging accumulation strategy to buy aggressively during dips and sit on profits when Bitcoin runs — now live on Troves.fi.

STARKNET ECOSYSTEM, March 2026

Troves.fi, the leading one-click yield aggregator on Starknet, today announced the launch of the BTC YOLO Vault – a fixed-maturity Bitcoin accumulation strategy designed for long-term BTC believers who want a smarter, more systematic way to build their stack. The vault is live now on Troves.fi

Built for the Saylors of the BTC Economy

This vault is a bit special. It is not for traders, not for speculators. It is built for people who believe in the long-term BTC economy — those who see every dip as an opportunity, not a threat. In short: the Michael Saylors of crypto. Instead of a basic dollar-cost averaging (DCA) approach, the YOLO Vault employs a value-averaging style accumulation strategy — a technique well-established in traditional finance but almost never implemented in crypto. The result is a vault that automatically gets more aggressive when Bitcoin is cheap and pulls back when it is expensive.

How It Works: Buy the Dip, Sit on the Pump

What that means in practice:
  • When BTC drops: the vault buys much more BTC—deploying capital aggressively to maximize accumulation at lower prices.
  • When BTC is higher, it buys less—conserving capital and reducing the average cost basis.
  • When BTC becomes very expensive, it stops buying entirely—protecting the portfolio and sitting on gains.
Example configuration at current market levels:
  • BTC around $70k: Normal buys — steady accumulation continues as planned.
  • BTC drops to $50k: The vault spends 5-10x more to aggressively stack BTC at the discount.
  • BTC goes very high ($100k+): The vault stops buying — no chasing the top.
📉  BTC down → stack aggressively 📈  BTC up → sit on profits Basically, a system that tries to accumulate the most BTC when it is cheap — automatically, without any manual intervention. Saylor didn’t stack billions in BTC by playing it safe. He did it with conviction. YOLO Vault is that conviction — automated, on-chain, and working around the clock.”— Venkat, Troves.fi

Why Starknet?

Starknet’s ZK-rollup infrastructure provides the low-cost, high-speed execution environment that makes value-averaging strategies economically viable on-chain. Each rebalancing event — triggered by BTC price movements — incurs minimal gas, enabling the vault to respond quickly without eroding returns.

Get Started on Troves.fi

BTC YOLO Vault is live now. Users can deposit WBTC, set their strategy, and let the vault do the rest. No dashboards to monitor. No manual rebalancing. No timing the market. To access the vault and explore all available strategies, visit Troves.fi. Join the community on Telegram and follow @trovesfi on X for updates.

About Troves.fi

Troves.fi is a decentralised accumulation and yield strategy platform built on Starknet. It offers one-click access to institutional-grade DeFi strategies — from yield aggregation to structured accumulation vaults — making sophisticated on-chain finance accessible to everyone.

UAE Institutional Leaders Gather in Abu Dhabi as Digital Asset Strategy Accelerates Across the Gulf

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates— Senior leaders from global finance, digital asset infrastructure, and regulatory institutions will convene in Abu Dhabi on May 13, 2026, for the inaugural Digital Assets Forum Abu Dhabi — a highly curated gathering examining the adoption of digital assets under the UAE’s progressive regulatory framework. The forum comes amid rapid institutional momentum across the Gulf. The UAE has emerged as a global leader in digital asset regulation, providing structured licensing regimes, sovereign-backed innovation programs, and a robust ecosystem where banks, asset managers, and institutional investors are actively deploying capital and forming strategic partnerships. Following the successful third edition of Digital Assets Forum in London — which gathered nearly 2,000 senior attendees from global banks, asset managers, and infrastructure providers — the forum now expands to the Middle East at a pivotal moment. “Across our successful London editions, we have seen how regulatory clarity drives institutional engagement,” said Victoria Gago, Co-Founder of Digital Assets Forum. “Abu Dhabi is now at the center of a structural shift in global finance, with capital concentration, infrastructure buildout, and global firms relocating headquarters. This forum brings together the decision-makers who are shaping the future of digital finance and turning strategy into action.” Confirmed institutional speakers include Christoph Richter, Head of Digital Assets & AI at ADGM; Sebastian Widmann, Head of Dubai at Komainu; Karl Naim, Group Chief Commercial Officer at XBTO Middle East; Yan Ma, Executive Director at Spartan Group; Catrina Wang, General Partner at Portal Ventures; Elliot Andrews, CEO of Aspen Digital; and Rachel Conlan, Global Chief Marketing Officer at Binance. DAF Abu Dhabi will examine UAE digital asset regulation versus other jurisdictions, institutional digital asset management and portfolio strategies, stablecoins, payments and CBDCs, DeFi and TradFi integration, real-world asset tokenisation (RWA), the state of crypto ETFs, liquidity, custody and institutional market infrastructure, and institutional risk management frameworks — all with a focus on practical outcomes that enable investment, capital allocation, and partnership execution. Digital Assets Forum Abu Dhabi is designed as a highly curated, executive-level gathering focused on deal-making, capital deployment, and strategic partnership formation. The format includes main-stage panels, closed-door sessions, dedicated one-to-one meeting areas, and private briefing rooms. The objective is not retail awareness, but to translate dialogue into tangible agreements and coordinated investment strategies for 2026 and beyond.

About Digital Assets Forum

Digital Assets Forum is a global institutional series bridging traditional finance and digital assets. The Abu Dhabi edition marks its expansion into the Middle East, following established editions in London. Launched in 2018 in Barcelona, the European Blockchain Convention — organiser of Digital Assets Forum — has become one of Europe’s leading blockchain platforms for financial institutions, policymakers, and infrastructure providers integrating blockchain into mainstream finance.

Blockchain Futurist Conference Returns to Toronto for Its Ninth Year

Toronto, ON — [March 4, 2026] — Blockchain Futurist Conference returns to Toronto on July 21–22, 2026, bringing Canada’s largest Web3 and AI event back to its iconic flagship venue, Rebel Entertainment Complex and Cabana Pool Bar. In its ninth edition, Blockchain Futurist Conference is set to deliver its largest show yet. Now part of Emerald Expositions’ global portfolio of industry-leading B2B events, the conference has expanded its scale and international reach while remaining under the leadership of its founding team. The 2026 event marks a defining new chapter for Canada’s flagship Web3 and AI gathering. Rather than hosting events in traditional convention centers, Futurist structures its experiences to maximize networking and deal-making and is widely recognized as a place where real business gets done. The conference convenes founders, C-suite executives, institutional investors, policymakers, and business development representatives in an environment intentionally designed for high-value connections. The conference was born at Rebel Entertainment Complex and Cabana Pool Bar, the largest nightclub and day club venue in North America. This setting unlocks features that most Web3 and AI conferences simply cannot offer. A multi-million-dollar sound and lighting system powers the main stage, unconventional booths designed for conversation, and plenty of spaces to host side events, happy hours, and workshops onsite. One of the conference’s most recognizable features is its signature VIP cabanas. Located on the waterfront with views of Toronto’s skyline, these private spaces are hosted by sponsors to meet with teams, investors, and senior executives. Situated within the VIP area, the cabanas consistently sell out each year, reflecting strong demand for premium, business-focused networking. To book a VIP Cabana please fill out the form here. This concept was proven again in 2025 when the Futurist team expanded to South Florida. The U.S. edition was hosted at a comparable indoor-outdoor nightclub and day club venue, confirming that Futurist’s business development-focused approach resonates beyond Toronto and delivers consistent value in new markets. As Blockchain Futurist Conference returns to Toronto for its ninth edition, the 2026 program is shaping up to be one of its most impactful to date. The conference will cover key topics including Web3 and AI convergence, Canadian and global regulation, the future of finance, payments, and stablecoins, RWAs, and institutional adoption. Among the confirmed speakers for 2026 are:
  • Don Tapscott, Executive Chairman and CEO, Blockchain Research Institute
  • Janet Adams, Board Member, Artificial Superintelligence Alliance
  • Ethan Buchman, CEO, Informal Systems, Cycles
  • Michael Sanders, Sr. Director, Partnerships & Investor Relationships, Polygon
  • Chaddy Huussin, Executive Director, JPMorgan Chase & Co.
  • Eric Turner, CEO, Messari
  • Ada Vaughn, Senior Director of DeFi Partnerships, Stellar Development Foundation
  • Jaime Leverton, CEO, ReserveOne
In addition to its speaker lineup, Blockchain Futurist Conference Toronto 2026 has already confirmed early participation from sponsors actively building the future of Web3 and digital assets. With more speakers and sponsors to be announced in the months ahead, Blockchain Futurist Conference Toronto 2026 marks a defining moment for the event’s ninth year. As Canada’s largest and longest-running Web3 conference, it brings together the leaders shaping Web3 and AI in an environment built for meaningful engagement and long-term collaboration, making it a must-attend event on the 2026 conference calendar.
