Happy Miami Blockchain Week! I’m Alex Hochberger, founding CEO of Web3 Enabler. This week has been packed with exciting events, incredible discussions, and significant opportunities for the blockchain community. I’m currently at the Sagamore Hotel in South Beach, gearing up for the BitBasel event, which is set to begin in just a couple of hours. Before the event kicks off, I wanted to share some thoughts on the regulatory changes we’re expecting to see in the near future.
Earlier this week, I attended a fantastic luncheon at The Post, where we delved into the evolving regulatory landscape regarding digital assets. This discussion followed another incredible event hosted by the King Fund, which drew a substantial crowd of serious players in the blockchain space. It’s evident that interest in blockchain and crypto is surging, with new investors joining the movement daily.
Miami Blockchain Week Highlights
We kicked off the week with an amazing event in Wynwood at the Saucy Buddha. This pre-conference gathering brought together a mix of Miami locals and out-of-town visitors, setting the tone for an impactful CryptoMonday. Throughout the week, we’ve engaged with legal experts, regulatory specialists, and venture capitalists, all of whom are exploring the incredible opportunities emerging in blockchain. Tonight, we’re looking forward to welcoming the ambassador to further raise awareness and foster collaboration.
Exciting Developments at Web3 Enabler
Our public raise on Republic continues to gain momentum, with 47 days left in the campaign. We’re grateful to the new investors who joined us today and to those who have increased their investments. If you haven’t yet participated, now is the perfect time to do so. Visit Republic to learn more and secure your allocation before it’s too late.
Building for the Future
This week has also been an opportunity for us to “eat our own dog food.” We’ve been managing transactions in Tether on Ethereum and USDC on Base, seamlessly tracking everything within our Salesforce org. This capability has sparked interest among European design shops I spoke with, as their clients are eager to pay in stablecoins. We’re actively working to enable these payments in the coming weeks.
The regulatory landscape continues to shift, with exciting news from Bank of America and other major banks expressing their readiness to adopt crypto once regulatory clarity is achieved. Bank of America, a Salesforce customer, presents a promising opportunity as we expand our offerings on Sales Cloud and Financial Services Cloud. We’re also exploring opportunities with Commerce Cloud and StoreConnect as we gear up for the next phase of growth.
Product Updates
Our Blockchain Payments v2.5 is nearing completion, with only minor tweaks left in QA. This version introduces a new payable object, streamlining processes for our users. Meanwhile, Solana integration for v2.6 is progressing, though we’re addressing some challenges with webhook notifications from downstream data providers. Circle Wallet integration is also advancing, with exciting discussions about next steps underway.
Looking Ahead
Miami Blockchain Week has been a tremendous success, and we’re thrilled about what’s ahead. From regulatory advancements to groundbreaking partnerships with Circle, Cardano, and Ripple, the future is bright for blockchain adoption. Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far. Let’s keep building the future of blockchain together.
