BlackRock COO, Ripple CEO set to join CZ at Binance’s first global virtual event
Binance is set to launch Binance Online, a new global virtual event aimed at bringing together some of the most influential voices across crypto, markets and finance.
Streaming live on May 13 at 11:00 a.m. UTC, the event will feature more than four hours of exclusive discussions and interviews. It will also include live audience engagement and reward giveaways totaling $10,000.
Binance said the event takes place at a pivotal moment for the industry as stablecoins gain traction, institutions expand their involvement in digital assets and artificial intelligence rapidly transforms financial services. Topics are expected to include blockchain adoption, crypto infrastructure, AI-driven finance and the evolution of internet-native business models.
Rob Goldstein, BlackRock’s chief operating officer, will appear alongside Adam Back, the Blockstream CEO whose Hashcash proof-of-work system directly inspired Bitcoin’s mining architecture. Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple’s chief executive, rounds out the institutional side.
On the crypto-native end, CZ will appear with venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya, macro commentator Anthony Pompliano, and Solana ecosystem representative Lily Liu. Binance co-CEOs Yi He and Richard Teng will also take questions from the community in real time.
