## Capital Never Moves Randomly

Capital doesn’t move on impulse.
It follows policy shifts, global narratives, and macro events — often long before the headlines catch up.
As the U.S. enters a pivotal political cycle and the 2026 World Cup emerges as the next global liquidity catalyst, crypto is moving into a high-volatility, high-opportunity window.

💸 Where is real money flowing next?
Who captures it — and who gets left behind?
This education-first event brings together operators and builders to unpack how macro forces shape Web3 adoption and capital movement, beyond hype or speculation.
