Join us for an exclusive interview with **Ilan Solot** \- a seasoned expert at the crossroads of global macro\, finance\, and digital assets\, with experience spanning both the public and private sectors\. His career began at the **New York Federal Reserve’s** financial markets team and later took him to the **IMF’s** financial stability group, giving him a front-row view into how the world’s most influential institutions understand risk, liquidity, and market structure.

In the private sector, Ilan has worn many hats - from macro strategist in banking to driving insights at a blockchain-focused hedge fund. Today, he serves as **Global Markets Strategist at Marex**, where he continues to analyze and interpret the forces shaping markets across traditional finance and crypto. His insights regularly appear in major international outlets such as **Bloomberg**, the **Financial Times**, and **CoinDesk**.

At this meetup, you’ll gain an inside look at Ilan’s multidisciplinary approach - how he builds analytical frameworks that combine macroeconomics, market structure, digital asset dynamics, and data-driven research. With deep experience working with clients, policymakers, and media, Ilan offers a rare, holistic perspective on how global markets and crypto increasingly overlap through stablecoins, tokenized and other products.

Whether you’re a builder, investor, trader, researcher, or simply curious about the macro forces influencing digital assets, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
