EthCC 2026 in Cannes has introduced a dedicated institutional forum, The Agora by Kaiko, drawing more than 60 speakers and around 600 participants from traditional finance and Web3.For the first time, firms like Bloomberg, S&P Global, BNP Paribas, Euroclear, Amundi, SG Forge and Tradeweb are on the official EthCC agenda to debate Ethereum’s market structure under Europe’s MiCA regime.With MiCA and new EU tax rules nearing full implementation, panellists argued that Ethereum’s future liquidity and depth will increasingly depend on institutional rails rather than purely on retail-driven DeFi.
