CryptoAI Summit 2026: The Singularity is Here?

April 23 @ 2:30 pm - 5:30 pm EDT
$49

CryptoAI Summit 2026 is the premier forum exploring the strategic convergence of AI and Blockchain, organized by Bitpush and China Institute of America. In 2026, as speculation gives way to utility, we move beyond the noise to examine the AI revolution. The summit dissects global competition, the recalibration of market valuations, and the structural tensions between unprecedented efficiency and the systemic “bubbles” of rapid automation. Simultaneously, the summit deconstructs the maturing Crypto landscape. We analyze the evolution of institutional market cycles and the definitive shift toward real-world adoption and on-chain financial logic. By bridging these two forces, the summit investigates whether the union of AI and Crypto is a fundamental necessity for decentralized intelligence or a critical alignment for the next era of global digital infrastructure.

CI members can receive a complimentary ticket with code CIFREE. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
