The Digital Asset Yield Summit (DAYS), the invite-only institutional investor conference connecting institutional capital with onchain yield, announced its 2026–2027 global series across Singapore (October 6), Zurich (January 18, 2027), and Miami (May 2027), following a sold-out inaugural edition in Miami this May.
Rebranded from the four-year Staking Summit, DAYS has redefined the institutional event format by deliberately going smaller. Each edition is capped at 300 attendees, application-only, with an acceptance rate under 45%. The result is a high-signal room: 60% capital allocators, 77% C-suite, and 25% managing over $1 billion in assets.
“We took what used to be a crypto event and rebuilt it as an institutional financial services conference,” said Mirko Schmiedl, Co-Founder and CEO of Finrate AG, which produces DAYS. “More curation means more deals. Miami proved the bet works.”
The Miami debut, hosted on the 38th and 39th floors of EAST Miami, a 5-star hotel in downtown Miami, drew decision-makers from banks, asset managers, family offices, and digital asset treasuries, with confirmed attendees including JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Standard Chartered, Grayscale, and VanEck. Programming spanned institutional staking, institutional DeFi, stablecoin yield, RWA tokenization, and the rapid rise of the digital asset treasury (DAT) as a core allocator strategy.
The format drew strong reviews from senior attendees. Matthew Sheffield, Chief Investment Officer of SharpLink (Nasdaq: SBET), one of the world’s largest corporate holders of Ether, wrote on LinkedIn that the summit “kicked off Consensus week with a great day of focused conversations” on institutional-grade DeFi, adding that he appreciated “the opportunity to speak with an exceptional group ranging from other DATs, funds and administrators about this important topic.”
The signature DAYS format — private, invite-only roundtables that match sponsors directly with prequalified allocators — was built to close deals rather than generate leads. Title sponsor Bitwise re-signed for Singapore immediately following Miami, a signal of the format’s commercial return for partners. The Singapore edition ranks among the top-rated digital asset and private capital events on ConfBase, the independent platform for institutional B2B conference ratings.
DAYS sits at the intersection of traditional finance and onchain markets, as banks, insurers, and asset managers move from evaluating digital asset yield to actively deploying into it. By hosting in the world’s financial capitals and rigorously curating both sides of the room, DAYS has positioned itself among the most targeted institutional investor events in the digital asset calendar.
The series brings together capital allocators, yield protocols, custodians, and tokenization platforms under one curated programme. Complimentary passes are available to qualified institutional allocators; service providers and yield protocols attend via ticketed and partnership packages.
