Come join us on April 20th for CryptoMonday Blues – an honest conversation about crypto in 2026.
If you’ve been staring at your portfolio wondering what went wrong – you’re in good company.
2026 has been a rough ride. Prices are down, sentiment is shaky, and everyone keeps blaming “macro” without actually explaining what that means.
At this month’s CryptoMondays London, we’re creating space to be honest about it – the confusion, the stress, and the real forces behind what’s happening.
We’ll get into:
📉 What “macro” actually means for crypto
Why crypto is still reacting to global markets – and whether that changes
📉 Normal chop or something more structural?
Is this just a rough patch, or is something deeper shifting in 2026?
🧭 How to navigate without losing your mind
What signals actually matter right now, and what’s just noise
💼 What this means for builders
From fundraising to hiring – what gets hit first, and where opportunities still exist
We’ll also hear a short keynote from Bybit, sharing a market-side perspective on risk, sentiment and what they’re seeing in the current environment.
Keynote Speaker:
Ibrahim Abed is Head of Product at Bybit EU and a digital asset product expert focused on regulated markets and scalable financial infrastructure. Active in crypto since 2014, Ibrahim has worked across CeFi, DeFi, and mining, leading product initiatives aligned with MiCARMiFID, and EMI frameworks. He specializes in turning complex regulation into usable, growth-driven products.
Panelists:
Joseph Coudray is part-time Head of Partnerships at SwissBorg and a full-time dad of 2 daughters. Joseph dedicates his time to bridging the gaps between the perceived mysteries of crypto and everyday retail investors trying to diversify and optimise the yearly performance of their portfolio.
Moderated by Oleg Giberstein, the Co-founder and COO of Coinrule, a Y Combinator-backed platform that simplifies automated cryptocurrency trading for retail investors. Holding an MPhil degree from the University of Oxford, Oleg gained experience in Banking and Risk roles at Citigroup before diving into the world of blockchain.
