Further is thrilled to announce the Further Network Summit 2025, co-hosted with Brevan Howard and Coinbase, taking place on December 8, 2025 during Abu Dhabi Finance Week (ADFW).

Now in its third edition, the Further Network Summit has earned a reputation as “the best put-together institutional crypto event in the GCC.” This year’s program expands further, introducing two distinct spaces:

• the Emirates NBD Stage, open to all ADFW attendees, and
• the Further VIP Lounge at the Capital Avenue Terrace, accessible by invitation only.

Uniting Leaders in FinTech, Digital Assets, and Capital Markets

The 2025 edition will feature an exceptional line-up of industry pioneers shaping the global digital economy. Among the headliners are Michael Saylor (Founder & Executive Chairman @ Strategy), Alan Howard (Founder @ Brevan Howard), and Brian Armstrong (Co-Founder & CEO @ Coinbase).

They will be joined by leading investors, founders, and executives including Faisal Al Hammadi, Smiyet Belrhiti, Bouchra Darwazah, Pascal St-Jean, Anthony Bassili, and many others, to discuss the key trends defining the intersection of technology, regulation, and institutional adoption.

Showcasing Further’s Portfolio and Ecosystem

In addition to the panels and fireside chats, the event will spotlight Further’s fast-growing ecosystem of portfolio companies leading innovation across custody, payments, trading, DeFi, and digital banking. Participating ventures include BridgePort, Dfns, Fuze, GRVT, Immersve, KAIO, Kemet Trading, Pave Bank, Soter Insure, Twinstake, and Zodia Custody.

Connecting the Week’s Key Ecosystem Events

Further Ventures is also partnering with other top crypto gatherings in Abu Dhabi that week — including The Bitcoin MENA Conference and Solana Breakpoint — offering special opportunities for approved attendees.

The Further Network Summit 2025 continues to serve as a nexus for collaboration between institutional leaders, founders, regulators, and investors shaping the next decade of global finance.
